I've been working out three days a week for a few months now. I do half an hour of cardio, followed by half an hour of weights and other muscle-specific exercises and stretching. The thing is, the amount of time it takes is frustrating for me since my attention span kinda sucks.

So, I figured I'd start alternating days. I'd do half an hour of cardio one day, then weights the next, then cardio again, etc. so that I'm only working out half an hour about every day. Is this a good idea? Does doing cardio immediately before other exercises give you a better workout?

The best way to incorporate cardio into your training is to do it in a completely different session then your weight training. If you plan on doing both weights and cardio in the same session, do the weights first. There are two major reasons for this:

First, doing cardio before weights will pre-fatigue your muscles, limiting your weight training. Doing cardio after weights will not.
Second, weight training will serve as a sort of pre-exhaust for cardio; lowering your blood sugar and allowing you to burn fat immediately after you start cardio. If you do cardio first, it will take about 20 minutes before you really start to burn fat

So what I'm suggesting is actually the right thing to do? Great, thanks. Glad to know I was making a mistake.
