Cardio is fantastic for weight lifting cardio allows for greater and more improved blood flow allowing for a greater amount of blood to reach the muscles during a workout allowing the muscles to become stronger bigger and have more stamina.

Do you have recommendations for setting a weekly workout plan?

A good weekly workout plan mixes both weight lifting and cardio-vascular exercises. On alternate days, the focus should be one or the other. However, on weight lifting days a short run or other cardio activity can be included. In addition, weight lifting activities should be alternated from large muscle group to large muscle group. At no time should an individual continually work one large muscle group only.
