Mixing up my workouts to include some cardio and strength training keeps me motivated. know they're both important types of exercise, so doing them together keeps me from doing one more often than the other.
However, it wasn't until recently that I thought about the order in which I do my strength training and stints on the indoor bike. Should I do my cardio before or after weights? A 12-week study, published in the Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness, examined how exercise sessions done one after the other affected body composition, physical activity levels, fat loss, and muscular strength.
