So, before or after? The answer is: yes. Do what fits your life, your energy, and your mood. Your body is a wonderfully weird machine that adapts to whatever you throw at it—just be consistent, and don’t overthink it.
And here’s the real secret: the best time for cardio is the time you actually show up. Not at 5 AM when you’re still dreaming of pancakes, not at 10 PM when you’re running on fumes and coffee. Find your window, lace up your shoes, and move. Because every drop of sweat is a tiny victory, a high-five from your future self.
Now go out there and get your heart pumping—you’ve got this. And if you trip on the treadmill, just pretend you meant to do that. It’s called a “dynamic recovery burpee.” Very advanced. 😉
