Mixing in cardio with weights

[JayiE]

what do you guys do when it comes to cardio because when I do cardio I seem to lose all my energy and then when I do weights I don't have any energy left it kind of sucks it out of me
should I instead do weights first then do the cardio? I'm worried if I do that I won't have energy for cardio either. Or should I just split them morning and night

we can debate this all day long but if you want to be a great bodybuilder you need to bodybuild, if you want to become a great runner you need to run. focus on one or the other or be average at both

now having said that there is no way that doing a light 1 or 2 mile jog is gonna wipe you out for weight training unless you are super out of shape.

Do cardio after weights.

Switch up your cardio to something longer but less intense and do it after weight training. Or on a separate day all together.
