In my ten years as a professional trainer, I have been asked this question more any other. Therefore, why not clear this matter up once and for all. The answer to this question is quite simple…..IT DOESN’T MATTER WHICH ONE YOU DO FIRST…..it’s a matter of personal preference. Research has shown that results are quite comparable no matter the order. However, if you are more focused on cardio improvement start with cardio and conversely, start with strength if that is more important to you. Most importantly though……JUST KEEP MOVING!
