Ideally your lift and wait at least an hour until you do cardio. What you propose isn't horrible and could work and all I'm saying is there maybe more optimal methods of going about it. End of the day though you need consistency and if you can be consistent with your approach that's what matters most.
    Yep, I always cardio post lifts. Don't have to wait 20 minutes to start burning.

    You tipically only start burning fat after about 20 minutes of cardio, if you do it after weights you would probably already got past this "warming up" period.
