Episode 2748:

Stacey’s question highlights a common workout dilemma: does exercise order matter? Dr. Neal explains that starting with strength or resistance exercises before cardio is ideal, as it optimizes energy use and helps burn fat efficiently during cardio. Ab exercises are best done early on when energy is high, though the key is consistency in your routine.

Quotes to ponder:

"Consistency is key." 

"Starting with strength or resistance exercises before cardio is ideal."
