Cardio before strength?

Strength before cardio?

Or does it not really matter either way?

I have heard some different opinions on this topic from people that I know, and I'm curious to see what you all think! Thanks! :)

    My personal trainr always wanted me to do strength then cardio... he didn't have some cheap certification paper... he has a four yr degree in sports med's... so I trust him and that there is probably some reason for it.

    I've heard something along these lines as well, and that's why I usually do strength first if possible. Thanks :)

    I heard some trainers say it because you have better form when you do strength training first... but I'm sure there are more benefits about it than just that...
