I suggest 5-15 minutes of cardio before a workout to warm up the muscles and no more than 30-45 minutes of cardio after. After your cardio after your workout, you should stretch your major muscles because you will be a little stiff and it helps reduce soreness.

Should you do cardio or lifting weights first?

In theory starting out with 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm up your muscles and get blood flowing is best. Then some light static stretching to loosen up your ligaments. Then do your weight routine (while stretching in between sets/excerises) and then a cool down of 15-30 minutes on the cardio. You should try to do at least 30 minutes of cardio each time you work out. Anything less than 30 minutes you don't get the benefits of it. In addition to this, its also best to work out early morning before you eat so you can burn calories.
