Hm, so how many sets do you do KH?

How about I do cardio first, then do the run?

I'm trying to lose fat (I'm not actually fat, just got reserves around the waist

) and gain muscle at the same time. Running = cardio... cardio = exercise that gets your heart (and lungs) working hard, so something that's fast - either running or aerobic stretching or something like that. Weight training, outside of very low weights, is not 'cardio' because it shouldn't be getting your heart rate way up. It's for muscle building, which requires lots of oxygen to the muscles (and therefore shouldn't be done just after a cardio exercise that gets you out of breath).
