The Importance of Exercise Order for Fat Loss

Performing weight training before cardio is recommended for effective fat loss, as this sequence encourages the body to use fat stores for energy. During resistance training, muscles primarily rely on sugar as a fuel source, which can become depleted quickly, especially during high-intensity workouts. If cardio is performed immediately after lifting with minimal rest, the body continues to burn fat due to reduced sugar levels. This approach is more beneficial for experienced individuals, as beginners may need to focus on building strength and stamina first.
