    I just started strength training, I always thought you did cardio first to get your heart rate up and then the lifting.

    I need more information.

    This has been discussed before - general consensus is strength before cardio for a few reasons. You'll have good energy and your muscles will be topped up, so good for gains in the strength department and following up with some cardio after will burn off the rest of the glycigen depending on the workout and tap into your fat reserves to fuel that session.
