Hello mate, have u considered using the energy to lift the weights and then do ur cardio afterwards, thats what works for me if I need to shift fat. I used to do my cardio first pretty much the same as u but I found I was selling myself short in the lifting department. You'll burn calories lifting first then u could do a 20 min or so run afterwards. Anyone else got any thoughts on this idea??

i was told by a PT in my gym (basically put) train weights first to use up energy then cardio thus using more from fat stores, must say seems to be working OK for me ATM too
