The most frequent question (other than how do I lose weight fast) I face is "what do I do first, cardio or weights?" While "experts" have their opinion either way, my answer is simple: It's up to you.
There are no right or wrong answers for this question, it's completely up to your preference. With my workout sessions, I usually have the client do a 5-10 minute warm up in the cardio room, then it's off to the weights for 30 minutes or so, followed by 10 more minutes of hard cardio. Some clients come in 30 minutes early so they can get 20-25 minutes of good cardio in before our session, others wait until the end. The main focus is only that you complete it. If you are more of a runner, or cardio person, I suggest doing the cardio after your weight workout. If your not a cardio person, start with it. That way you get the "most dreaded" part of the workout over with first. But again there are no right or wrong answers, it just needs to be completed.
My advice? Start with cardio. Too many times I see clients and members start with their weights and machines workout, and decide they will "get their cardio finished later on their own," yet it usually doesn't happen. If time is of the essense for the weight workout, at least get 5-10 minutes of cardio in and then hit the weights.
