Best Time To Do Cardio

There has been a lot of debate regarding the absolute best time to do cardio to get a flat stomach.  The best time to do cardio is when it’s best for you.  The discussion of fasted cardio is also a topic that has been beaten to death. Does fasted cardio burn muscle? Fasted cardio only burns muscle if you are not eating enough food of quality. Under-eating combined with fasted cardio equals muscle loss.

Kicking-Up Cardio To Burn Fat

You can take your cardio to a new level and crank-up your fat burning process by implementing HIIT (high-intensity interval training) which is alternating short bursts of high-intensity with moderate recovery periods.  You can burn fat rather quickly using HIIT and as your overall body fat drops, your flat stomach will be more apparent.
