Here Are 6 Cardio Strategies That Will Not Negatively Impact Muscle Building
Let’s be honest; we all need a bit of cardio in our life, but not enough to create muscle wastage
When I decided on a whim that I wanted to build more muscle, change my body shape and then show it all off on stage, a lot of things in my lifestyle had to change.
For instance, I gave up sugar (which was the hardest thing for me), then all the refined carbs, and began to eat a whole lot of protein, veggies and a good range of fats.
Unfortunately, I also sacrificed carbs, which left me flat and lifeless — but that’s for another post.
During the muscle building phase, I was chastised for doing any kind of cardio.
Cardio can eat away at your muscle, and muscle wastage happens faster and more frequently when dieting.
How is that possible when you eat tons of protein and lift weights?
During my years of research and writing, I have discovered that’s not true!
We don’t waste muscle just because we diet.
