DO CARDIO AND RETAIN MUSCLE WITH THESE 5 TIPS



Are you sick of doing cardio and losing the valuable muscle mass that you have built? You want to be muscular and ripped or toned right? Fear not, because you can have a healthy heart and retain muscle with these following steps.
1. Keep your duration short – 30 minutes, three times a week – that way, you don’t burn too many extra calories

2. Workout at a moderate to high intensity to reap the benefits

3. Support your workouts and cardio with proper nutrition – that supplies enough calories for your energy expenditure and includes good carbs and lean protein at most meals

4. Add branched-chain amino acids and glutamine after workouts to help with muscle preservation

5. Check your weight once a week. Try to keep your weight loss to 1 to 2 pounds per week
