No cardio before weight lifting is a bad idea. The reason for that is you want to do the hardest part and the most taxing part of training first. If you do cardio before weight lifting you are going to deplete your muscle glycogen as well as your energy and come to lifting already fatigued. Versus training when you're fresh and then finishing with cardio.
What else can I help you with?
Should you do weight training and running in different workouts or is it better to do them in the same workout?
This is a good question, and there is no one answer that works well for everyone. So, experiment and see what works best for you. It depends a lot on your age and ability to recover from exercise as well as on how hard you are doing weight training and running.If you do cardio on an empty stomach before your first meal of the day, you will burn more fat than doing the same amount of cardio later in the day. Therefore, it might be a good idea to do your cardio before breakfast and to do your weight training in the afternoon.Incidentally, ANY running will cut into your gains from weight training. For that reason, it might be better to combine weight training and milder cardio such as brisk walking. That's the combination used by most serious bodybuilders and fitness models.
When should start lifting weigts you were 260 pound 2 weeks ago and now you are 251should you stay with cardio or start lifting weigts?
This would depend on your aim. If your are looking to loose weight I would suggest supplementing your cardio workouts with weight training, performing the weight training before the cardio as this will use up glycogen so you burn more fat during the cardio. Also it will increase your muscle mass, which will increase your metabolism, the rate that you burn energy. Also try going for a walk/run first thing in the morning, before breakfast as your glycogen stores should be empty so you will burn more fat than if you do cardio any other time of the day.
What should you do first cardio or weight lifting to burn more calories?

How can you lose weight but not lose muscle can anyone give you a routine so that you lose weight but keep muscle as you do weights?
If you are already working out with weights, and you are eating properly (i.e., not severely restricting your food intake) then you will not lose muscle; you will gain it. However, you might consider adding some cardio to your regular workout. Cardio exercise burns many more calories than weight training, although cardio does not strengthen and tone your muscles as much as weight training does. But do the cardio exercise BEFORE the weight training. I don't know why, but if you do the weight training first, you will be too tired to do the cardio. If you do the cardio first, you will be full of energy when you are done (as long as you don't overdo it) and you will have no problem doing the weight training. But keep in mind that muscle is more dense than fatty tissue, which means that muscle weighs more than fat. So, if you are gaining muscle by working out with weights, you most likely will not see a significant drop in your weight (unless you are significantly overweight), but you WILL see a significant drop in your body size. In other words, while the numbers on the scale may not go down dramatically, your clothing sizes WILL go down dramatically.
Cardio and Weight Training Exercise Programs for Weight Loss?
Exercise programs for weight loss will consist of two parts. The first part is cardio training. Cardio training pumps the blood through the body faster, elevating the heartbeat. This in turn temporarily raises the metabolism which burns fat. Cardio is a short term solution to losing weight as quickly as possible. The metabolism returns to its normal state when the heart rate returns to normal. The second part of exercise programs for weight loss is weight resistance training. Weight resistance training builds the muscle groups which in turn tightens the body up. Muscles form a much higher, yet natural metabolism boost. The metabolism levels remain long-term. As long as the workout is continued, the metabolism levels will remain steady 24-hours a day, seven days a week. If muscle loss occurs, the metabolism will return to its former state, resulting in weight gain.
How do you build muscle definition?
First you have to build the muscle. After the muscle is built, then you can define it. You must have a good cardio work out and a good balanced diet. Also you must continue weight training, but do less weight with higher reps.

Should you do speed training before weight training?
The simple answer to the question is yes you can but it depends. Typically you should not do speed training before weights primarily because speed training should be done when you fresh (not fatigued) Doing weighs before will tire you. However, there is a training effect called "Potentiation" which basically mean that if you excite your muscles through weight training before you do a sprinting effort your muscle will produce more power than without the stimulation - more force means that you will run faster. Of course care has to taken with how heavy the weight is and the volume of the session.

How much weight should a13 yr start with?
A 13 year old should start with weight that is comfortable for them for a couple of reasons. One, I assume that the individual is starting a weight training program for the first time. When someone first starts strength training program their first initial gains are not cause by increase muscle strength but from neuromuscular coordination. So the 13 year old should start their program with weights that are not out of their comfort zone. So somewhere between 70% of there max weight of main compound lifts.
