Melatonin & testosterone

My buddy showed me a study that looked at the effects of melatonin on testosterone (mainly as a blocker). Have you guys heard of this and should this be something to be mindful of?

Walks after meals

You guys always talk about is getting a 10 min walk in after a meal which is a great idea and I’ve told everyone about when they claim they don’t have time to do a 30 min walk in the evening. My question is how long after you eat should you do the walk? Should it be immediate after you eat or is there a time frame that is best? I get an hour lunch and normally eat my lunch within 20 mins. The rest of the time im on my phone until 10 minutes before I have to go back so I do my walk.

Hiit Workouts

I am currently training 4 days a week, doing your upper-lower program. Should I incorporate HIIT one day a week for cardio?

Preworkout Fuel

I workout at 4am. I am usually not hungry before working out. Do I need to eat something before I workout in order to maximize my workout?

Does cardio count as part of my daily step count?

I usually run for cardio, so I usually leave the gym at 8 am with over 10k steps already. Should I aim for 10k besides from those?
