PWO shake, before or after cardio?

[greekboy80]

Probably been discussed to death.

So, If I were to get in 20-30 minutes of light cardio after working out, i.e. walking 3.5 mph incline or ellipitical, do I take the shake before, during or after the cardio?

I mentioned this in How to do cardio if you must (http://www.wannabebig.com/article.php?articleid=292):

At least one study showed that post-workout carbs/protein didn't impact FFA burning post-exercise: “in the post-exercise recovery period, muscle glycogen resynthesis has high metabolic priority, resulting in post-exercise lipid combustion despite a high carbohydrate intake”.

In short, it doesn't matter. Go by comfort.

Well, it if it does not effect the FFA mobilization, then why prolong the waiting and have it ASAP. Just to get into the muscles ASAP.

Right?
