Right due to work/time restrictions I'm no longer able to hit the gym 6 days a week and do 3 days of weights and 3 days of cardio, its just too time consuming and seems to be an ineffcient way of doing things
I'd like to start doing my lifting and cardio in the same sessions if possible
At the moment and weights session lasts typically 50mins-1hr, and a cardio session is HIIT running/sprinting for 10 minutes
How would I go about combining the 2? Is it okay to just do my weights then hop on the treadmill and do my running? Or do I need to cut back the volume in my weights sessions slightly to account for the cardio at the end (so i can keep it under 1hr)? Should I leave a gap between the weights and cardio parts, should I consume a shake in this gap? or some BCAA's or something? Should I keep the intensity and length of my cardio the same as before, or will this need to change due to doing the cardio on depleted energy and glycogen stores?
Any advice would be really appriciated!
