I know the best way is to do cardio at a different time than doing weights but I can't do 2 a day workouts.

My trainer say to do cardio after but only keep my heart rate no at like 120-130

I normally do the bike for 15min before weights then do 45-60min of cardio after

What do you all do??

And is it really that bad if I get my heart rate high after weights??

    It depends on your focus. Do what is more important to you first. I actually split my cardio and weights to different days. I lift MWF and I run TuThSa. When I wasn't race training, and I might do some HIIT or 10 minutes kickboxing video or something after my weight sessions.

    I prefer cardio first and then weight training. The cardio is a good warm-up to the weight lifting movements and gets the blood moving.

    Also consider something like the Rushfit program, which uses weights during the workouts. Kill two birds with one stone.....
