Can you do cardio and weight on same day?
Hello, I am new to these boards and I have a few questions.
I had a session with a personal trainer and he told me that you can not do cardio and weight training on the same day. He also told me to only do cardio 2 times a week for 30 minutes a day. I am 29, 5'5 and currently weigh 164. My goal is 145 or so. I just started doing weight training and I am for 3 times a week.
Also, I am doing a low carb diet of under 100 carbs right now called Lean For Life. I have been doing it for 5 weeks now and I have lost 13 pounds. I am getting burned out on being on it though. What would you suggest is your best weight loss way of eating? Thanks for all your help!

Your trainer told you that you CAN NOT do cardio and training on the same day? Well, that probably would be feasible if you were bulking, but from what you stated your goals are, I'd assume that you were trying to lose weight. Female bodies are a bit more stubborn than mens, so extra cardio is effective for added weight loss unless your diet is 110% spot free clean and exact! Personally I don't see how you can lose 20 pounds with out added cardio (more than an hour a week).
I've dieted for many shows and added a little extra cardio, you have to able to look at your body, do what needs to be done with out going overboard and listen to it as well.
Cardio also depends on your current diet. I would say that adding a couple more days would be beneficial in weight loss, but don't over do it to the point where you burn a large amount of muscle.
Do your cardio on your off training days. You can also do a split; do your cardio in the morning and training at night. If you are doing both in one session, train first and then do your cardio.
