post workout is alot better than before you work out. the problem with cardio before you workout is that it tend to use up alot of energy thast you need to lift heavy. post workout allows you to really tax the cardio pulmanary system without hindering the gains from your workout. as long as its kept within reason(dont go running for 2 hours), its very effective as far as fat burning. i believe that if used in conjuction with a good lifting program, its like the double edgeed sword of fat burning (cardio/heavy lifting). remember as far as fat burning is concerned, rasing your intensity is better than adding longer times on the treadmill.

cardio after workout is the best, 20-30minutes will do, if you do it in the morning with an empty stomach it i very catabolic it ill burn fat but losses muscle too whihc you dont want, so after workout is the way to go cause your body if already fired up from weights

That's what I was hoping. It made sense. Thanks guys!

What if u take some glutamine and BCAA'S b4 your early morning cardio, won't that reduce LBM loss?

i would woudnt risk it.. though it might help but it takes a while to get into your system, just take it before your workout and do your cardio after workout and youll be sweet
