Don't neglect flexibility training. To help keep muscle supple, reduce the risk of injury and help maintain joint health, warm-up for 5-10 min. with a low impact activity and then begin your stretch session.
Two days of flexibility training are automatically built in.
When doing resistance and cardio training on the same day, lift first. Hit the weights when your muscle are fresh to reduce the risk of injury. Keep your workouts under 90 minutes in length. As long as you spend your time wisely, you should be able to accomplish all the goals for each day within the time frame.
Make sure that you take the time to stretch your muscles to reduce injury and soreness.
