JP- if your clients perform 12-15 minutes of hard cardio prior to strength does tax the aerobic system, then you are talking about lack of conditioning. If they experience lack of conditioning, cut the weight training session (after cardio) shorter but keep it intense. As their condioning improves...so will their strength and stamina.
great article and that is an absolutely spot on post. Diet loses weight and is easy to track the calories. Added cardio not always esential in my books tho
