Another Upper Body

I ducked out on my lunch hour and went to the Snap Fitness near the office today. I started with a quick jog on the treadmill and proceeded to the Smith machine for presses. The past few days I haven't been religious about my creatine, and could really feel the difference. I had to settle for about five pounds less than a week ago. Creatine sure makes a difference!

The trainer there told me that if I wanted to burn more fat, I should lift weights first, then use the treadmill. His explanation was that jogging (aerobic exercise) uses both sugar and fat as fuel. Weightlifting (anaerobic exercise) only uses sugar. So I should deplete my reserve of sugar by weightlifting, then move to the treadmill. Since the sugar reserves are used up, the aerobic exercise burns only fat. I'll have to give that a try.
