Is it better to do anaerobic (weight-lifting) exercise before doing cardio workout or vice versa?

Yep, this will be an "it depends" answer. What is your priority? Building muscle or increasing your cardio performance?

That would determine your order (from what I've read). For me, running two miles on the treadmill at a reasonable pace (defined by your current physical condition) acts as a good warm-up for lifting. I'm not fried when I'm done, but I also maintain my current running performance.

I move into the weight-room feeling loose and my body temp is nice and warm. When I really want to improve my run times, I'll do longer runs on off-days from the gym rather than combine weights and running into one session. One bonus to doing cardio first is that you can immediately move into recovery after your weight lifting session.

This includes downing some serious protein and carbs. In the past, when I've done cardio AFTER weights, I feel like I'm starving my muscles.

It really depends upon the type of workout you're doing and what you're looking to do in terms of your muscles. Weight Lifting|Lifting weights tends to stiffen your muscles which can work against the aerobic workout. You can also bulk up substantially from too much weight lifting when more natural workouts like punching will grow strength but build the muscles less bulky.

I work out 6 days a week, and most days I do my weights first. The reason I do that is because if I did a strenuous cardio workout, then I'd be too tired to lift with good form. 5 minutes of light cardio exercise should be enough for a warm-up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
