Weights Before Cardio: New Study Reveals Exercise Order Impact

Imagine you want to lose weight.

A new study looked at whether doing weights or cardio first makes a difference.

Scientists had young men do both types of exercise.

They found that if the men lifted weights before doing cardio, they lost more fat and were more active overall.

This happened because lifting weights first uses up energy stores, so the body has to burn more fat later.

Both groups improved their heart health the same amount.

This study only looked at young, overweight men, so it might not be the same for everyone.
