creatine + cut question

[wm009]

I've taken creatine before. This question is a bit odd now. I don't have access to a gym until September when I go back to university. I want to do a cut. Now is there any benefits to creatine for cardio activity?? Also probably the only physical lifting I can do is stuff like push ups. Would creatine serve a purpose in helping this or is it just not needed. I have this big jug of it that someone gave to me. Almost a year supply, and I'm eager to get into it, so it doesn't end up expiring.

Creatine should help with any vigorous physical activity, even with High Intensity Cardio. It won't hurt any.

I heard that not lifting weights while on creatine will result in fat gains. Or is that taking creatine while being lazy and not doing any physical activity?

Take the creatine and do the body-weight work 2-3 times a week (pushups, dips, pullups, squats, etc.). Creatine has shown to be effective for cardio activity as well, increasing endurance. Just be sure to drink lots of water -- even more than you think you need.
