I am starting a new program that has me lifting 3 days a week, and doing cardio 2 or 3 times (30-45 mins; either after lifting or on a "rest" day).

I would really like get back into Pilates.
My question is, should I do it the days I lift or my cardio days?
Also does the timing matter?

For Example:
I lift MWF, but pilates is only offered in the am on M, W. So would it be ok if I did pilates in the am, but lifted at night?

I think you could do the pilates on the days you lift and it would be fine. Would help to lengthen the muscles you will be contracting later in the day. Just my thoughts on it :)
