I've just finished reading NROL, and have a few (nooby) questions.

I'm 38 years old and have weight trained on and off for about 20 years. Although the results have been reasonable, nothing has really worked well enough for me to stick with. I've read a lot of contradicting advise about weight training, cardio fitness and diets. NROL, in my opinion, is the only book I've read that makes sense accross the board.

My only query is, how do I work cardio into my new NROL programme. I have my own weights set up at home, and I also have an Eliptical Traininer. Last year I started doing H.I.I.T training on the elliptical. I wasn't pushing it really hard, but liked the feeling it gave me afterwards. With my new NROL prgramme, I intend to start weight training for an hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Should I still do H.I.I.T training? If so, when should I do it? The book says after my workouts, but I'm not sure I'd have the energy - H.I.I.T is pretty taxing.

Any help would be appreciated.
