Too much cardio? Not enough weights?

Thanks to all of you who posted. Thanks, OP for asking this question. There is so much information out there, I find it hard to assimilate everything, and sort out the incorrect information.

I learned a lot myself! :happy:

Don't do your cardio first. A little warm up is fine, but any exercise you do will first use up your glycogen stores. That glycogen should be used for weight lifting (for ATP/CP production) and will have you doing a more efficient workout. Cardio done after to tap fat stores.
So lift first, then cardio after.

that's fine, but your risk of injury would be much higher. Do you do a full cardio workout first, or just warm-up?
