Mixing aerobic and anaerobic for the results I want?

So I think I have this finally figured out, but someone please help me out. I work out about 3-5 times a week. I was doing mostly anaerobic workouts then throw in aerobic for conditioning about once or twice. The other day I was talking to a guy at the gym and he was telling me that if I want to keep my muscle mass and burn fat the best way to do it was to do both, but start with the anaerobic stuff to burn off the food/energy you have consumed that day then do aerobic to burn off the stored fat. So now I work out everything every time. I do a mixture of weight lifting, jump rope, burpies, sit ups, shadow boxing, basically all my anaerobic stuff then I get on the tredmill or go outside depending on the weather and run for 20-30 minutes. Am I finally doing this right or am I still not understanding how it works?|||do your aerobic stuff at a different time from your anaerobic stuff, your body wont know what the hell is going on, try and do the aerobic stuff early in the morning for 30 Min%26#039;s not more than that, at least 3 times per week.


do you anaerobic stuff at evening or night.


if you do it after your aerobic session you wont have the energy to lift heavy weights





if you want to gain or keep muscle keep you anaerobic and aerobic sessions at different times even different days if you can, you don%26#039;t see a muscular marathon runner, too much cardio and your body will attack your muscles too make them smaller so you don%26#039;t burn as much calories, its a defence mechanism, your body adjusts to the way you live your life, if you do a lot of sleeping and just do heavy weights at the gym your gonna get big. that%26#039;s how it works.|||i believe in mixing both as well. the resistance training is important for increasing mass, and that mass in turn consumes more calories even while at rest. the cardio consumes calories, improves your cardio system, lowing blood pressure, cholestorhol and improving flow. the cardio is also where you can burn a whole bunch of calories and take off weight. in my case, in cycling, i can run with my heart rate elevated for hours on end. i estimated that in my last century i burned over 10,000 calories in that one effort, and doing that will definately take weight off unless you are totally abusing what you eat.
