If your goal is fat loss, it is better to do cardio after resistance training.

This post is a couple months old, and I hate to bump an old post, but I just thought I'd add my own perspective: Everything you do requires energy, and eventually you'll get tired. If you lift first and run second, you might get tired while running, which means you stop running. If you run first and lift second, you might get tired while lifting, and that means a barbell falls on your face.

That's great. I never thought about it that way. :laugh::laugh:

With that said, you could also run in the morning before breakfast. I do that, and I do light cardio for warm-up before weight training. And I do HIIT on a completely different day than weight training days.
