Cardio?

[Kev0ner]

Hey all. I am currently interested in dropping about 25 lbs of fat. I am in the gym 5 days a week doing relatively low weight/high rep stuff. As far as cardio goes when is the best time and at what intensity should I be doing? I have done some research on this site but there is not really a consensus. Currently I do 30 mins of moderate cardio (HR~160) after lifting weights for 1.5 hrs. Is this counter productive to gaining lean muscle? Would it be better to do light cardio in the morning and @ night, several hours before and after weightlifting? Thanks.

continue doing cardio right after weights and bump it up to about 60mins?

Yeah I am getting my diet on lock so that should not be a problem. Just want to maxamize my cardio because I hate doing it....so if I could get away with doing less that would be nice. Looks like I will just have to suck it up and bust out some serious cardio for about an hour after my workouts?
