And of course... Cardio! 40 mins daily!

My body is definitely feeling the change in exercise program but that is why it is so important to keep your body guessing. By doing the same exercises daily, your body gets use to the program and it is not forced to adapt to new stimulus. Switching up your exercises frequently will help see progress better. The best time to do cardio is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and the second best time, depending on your schedule, it is best to do weights then cardio. When doing weights your body depletes glycogen (carbs stored in your muscles) so that by the time you switch to cardio your body is much more likely to burn fat for fuel.
