There's no point in just doing weight's without burning off the fat first
totally disagree with everything you have said here, it is a well known fact that Weights followed by cardio will use more fat for energy than either one alone plus the more muscle you have the faster your resting metabolism will be.....plus to actually use fat for energy whilst doing cardio you need to be at around 65% much more and you are using carbs for energy any less an you are not stoking the fire enough to burn fat to find you optimum level take your age from 220 then 65% of this number for me at 37 it is around the 123bpm mark...
