Cardio on an empty stomach???

[Andy2010]

Hi there, im prepping for the NABBA AK Champs, 6 weeks left... im doing an hours cardio (fast walk) at 5am every morning, should I eat breakfast first or eat when I get back?? worried about losing muscle..

Thanks!!

should be alright right if your just doing fast walking, maybe take some BCAA before hand, Thats what i have been doing for a couple of months now, i have defiantly not lost any muscle, and ive been keeping my heart rate up around 140 -150 for 40 mins.

Id have some BCAA's before hand, or at-least a protein shake...

And then a ultimate Breakfast....

hey aidangro - I'm keen to hear how effective this has been for fat loss? I'd be keen to drop some BF as i'm getting some muffin sides comin on from my bulking diet, but weights session doesn't really have any room time and energy wise to add more than 10min cardio. I can do a walk in the morning easy enough but was wondering how effective it is
