exercise frequency

Sorry if this subject has been discussed to death here already. If so, could someone provide a link to such discussion?

If my goal is to burn fat then which is more effective?

1. Daily light to moderate strength training followed by light to moderate cardio, or

2. Moderate to intense strength training followed by moderate to intense cardio every other day?

And, after that,

Plan 3 is best: Moderate-to-intense strength training and moderate-to-intense cardio on alternating days. It takes experience to do strength training every day while both avoiding overtraining and getting a good training effect. In addition, you want your cardio to be as intense as possible (preferably done as intervals) to minimize catabolism. It's better to separate strength training and cardio, taking a sugary protein drink after weight training to restore muscle glycogen and protein synthesis (to minimize muscle loss).

My approach, which I recommend to most folks, is to do short but intense strength training almost every day (5-6 days/week) followed by whatever cardio you like. Always do what's toughest and what's your highest priority first.

No, I must admit that it's not. I'm following Watson's formula of providing the worst advice that someone is likely to believe, in hopes that they will heed it and become smaller and weaker than I am.

In aerobic exercise, the body runs on available glucose/glycogen. When you run out of that, you hit the wall. If your interest is general fitness and/or weight reduction, it would be very counterproductive to perform cardio to that extent. Performing intense cardio uses a greater fraction of your 1RM in the given motion, reducing the body's tendency to get rid of the muscle as unneeded. I believe there are blood chemistry/hormonal effects involved as well, but Lyle's Ghost could comment on that a lot better than I could.
