RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Two best times to do cardio to accelerate body fat loss are:

1) As soon as you wake up before consuming cal. You're not consuming cal during sleep, so when you do the cardio when you awake, your body will use body fat (stored cal) as fuel for exercise.

2) After strength training. You'll deplete energy cal (glycogen) with the weights, so the body will use fat (stored cal) as fuel for the cardio.
