Rep Power: 0 | | | Is it true that it's better to do strength training before cardio if you do them on the same days? I always used to do it the other way around. |

As with everything, there's no black/white, right/wrong.
If running is your priority, than running should come first.
If lifting is your priority, lifting should come first.
My general take is weight lifting should come first since it's the more intense of the two.... there's not much a point going into it tired. |

Rep Power: 71199 | | | A friend of mine kinda sandwiches his workout with the two. First he does some light, repetitive weight lifting to warm his muscles. Then he does cardio. Then he follows that up with more resistance training.
*Disclaimer: Not saying this has merit, just saying it works for him.*
Sometimes I surprise my body by switching around and doing resistance first, but, generally, cardio comes first for me because at this point that is more important to reaching my immediate personal goals.

Rep Power: 0 | | | I know what you mean. I've been just focusing on cardio because I've been super busy and it's really all I have time for without feeling like I should be doing homework. Summer is soon though so I'm about to add weight training back in. |

Rep Power: 558881 | | | Mind you the only time I can really think where cardio should come first is if you're training for a race or something of that nature. Beyond that, I'd shoot for weights first. The closer to your goal weight you are, the more you should abide by this 'rule.'
Also, training selection must match goals. If you're shooting for a physique goal, you don't want to ignore weights and focus on cardio. |

Hmm, I'm going to try the resistance training first, then cardio.... A 5 minute cardio warm up before the weights though!

Rep Power: 0 | | | I was surprised by how much difference adequate vs deprivation of sleep can make in gaining/losing weight. I went to a seminar by Laura Pawlak on weight gain - it was fascinating. She has written books, also, if you are interested - | | |
