I have the actors do weight training in the morning and cardio at night. The purpose of separating the weight training and cardiovascular training for 6 to 9 hours is because weight training causes the body to secrete anabolic hormones (muscle building) and cardiovascular exercises cause the body to secrete catabolic hormones (fat burning).
This way my client got the most effective results from their workouts and fast results. I always included stretching after weight training and cardio sessions to improve flexibility.
