Fasted Cardio Benefits

Fasted cardio is just that- cardio on an empty stomach post-intermittent fasting. Most people (myself included) will do fasted cardio in the morning as soon as you wake up. I personally take my fat burners, fall back to sleep for 30 minutes, and then wake up and go to the gym to do 20 - 30 minutes of fasted HIIT cardio

Benefits:
1- wakes you up!!!!! fasted cardio is the BEST "coffee" for mental acuity and concentration later throughout the day by releasing mood-enhancing endorphins. it will also flush out your lymptatic system which ensures a flow of energy
2- post-fast, the glycogen stores are depleted and the body is forced to burn fat as energy
3- food (especially dirty carbs), causes a sudden release of insulin that interferes with the mobilization of body fat. SO the less insulin present (AKA when you wake up) during the workout means more fat will be burned as energy
4- your metabolism stays elevated hours after your workout is over
5- greatly improves insulin sensitivity
