Questions & Answers about После кардио лучше немного потянуться.
Why is it после кардио? What case comes after после?
После takes the genitive case.
So in general:
- после тренировки = after the workout
- после урока = after the lesson
- после обеда = after lunch
In this sentence, кардио is a borrowed word that is usually indeclinable, so its form does not change:
- nominative: кардио
- genitive after после: still кардио
So grammatically it is genitive, even though the word looks the same.
What exactly does кардио mean here?
Here кардио is short for cardio exercise / cardio workout.
In everyday Russian, especially in fitness contexts, people often say simply:
- делать кардио = to do cardio
- после кардио = after cardio
It is fairly common and natural in modern spoken Russian.
Why is лучше used here? Does it mean better or it’s better to?
