From a Personal Trainer
Apart from being a make up artist I am a personal trainer. I used to do it full time, now its just weekends with clients i have been training for over 3 years. So here is what I reccomend.
First of all WHO said you can't do cardio and weights on the same day?? They don't know anyhting about fitness. You can do them on the same day. depending on your goal will determine which u do first. For example. IF your goal is to build , strength, mass and size, than stick to doign weights first. Then you can porceed to do cardio. If you wnat to tone or improve muscle endurance you may do your cardio first. BUt I would reccomend, if your gonna do weights that day, do them first and use your fresh untapped energy for your weights. THen continue to burn fat on acardio machine for at elast 30 minutes.
Now if you have the time, split your cardio and weights, then things get even better. You can do your cardio on an empty stomach in then morning , and then hit the gym and do your weights later in the day. Most people don't have the luxury to do this so thats why I explained the first option in detail.
remember UNLESS your weight training routine is a specific split routine, then you shouldn't do weights everyday!! IF your doing all body weight workouts give yourself at least a day , preferably 2 before you do weights again. This assumes you are working hard, bringing most if not all sets to failure, and doing a dull 45- 60 minute session. hope this helps
