For a while people have been debating whether to first do cardiovascular activities first such as running or do weight lifting first. Finally I think people agree more with weight lifting first. I have read that it takes the body about 15 minutes to warm up, so when doing cardio first, your body only starts burning calories after 15 minutes. When doing weights first you will still get all the benefits of weight lifting (increase calorie burn throughout the rest of the day) and while burning calories while doing cardio the whole time.
I've started this new routine of doing weights first. It is strange for me, i have always had my sweat session first and then i put my last effort into lifting weights. I am feeling more tired at the end of the workout, but I get a better high. I am not sure if it is worth it yet, my whole body feels like a wet noodle after. Let me know what order you do your activities in and your reasons for doing them! any suggestions?
I still do my abs and stretching at the end.
