A 5-10 minute warmup before lifting, but I think it's better to do cardio after lifting. Cardio uses up muscle glycogen that is better used in lifting. If at all possible I'll lift before cardio.

After...you'll get tired and it'll keep your from doing your best lifting. Better yet, do cardio on non-lift days.

as long you do it after you are fine.... you need to be fresh when you start lifting... being tired before cardio is not a bid deal, if anything, depending on the intensity level of your WO and how soon after you start your cardio, it will help you get to your desired heart rate faster... i.e. will help burn more calories.

Exactly. Do it after or better yet, first thing in the morning when you get up.
