Is it better to follow up steady-state cardio with strength training, or just include more steady-state sessions for weight loss?
26 y/o M, 245 lbs, fitness scale says ≈ 32% body fat. Trying to trim down and burn off some body fat. I’m muscular from a couple years of training strength, and understand that more muscle mass yields greater BMR and therefore better passive calorie burn.
I’ve recently been seeing a lot of success from steady-state cardio and positive dietary changes, but I’m trying to lose fat in the most efficient way possible and wanted to ask the community. I have been going to the gym for 2-hour sessions 3-4 times a week, the first hour is steady-state, and then after a brief rest period for rehydrating, I start weight training for another 45-60 minutes.
Is this the most efficient way possible? Would it serve me better to spend more time on steady-state and then tackle weight training when I’m leaner? Is there any interference effect from doing low to moderate intensity cardio and then straight into weightlifting?
Thanks in advance for the advice!!
