The article is saying that warming up with cardio and then hitting the weights is wrong.....wrong for what? The author never states why it is wrong, just that it is. People can do cardio first to warm up the body to hit the weights hard. But if you want to lose weight then you probably shouldn't follow this process. The article states that the body needs to activate a burn process, its probably the same if I warmed up by jogging for 20mins and then going on a long run to burn fat. Jogging for 20 mins would activate the burn process, the long run would sustain this burn. I'm not buying this article.

By starting with weights, you alert your muscles to trigger the proteins
that churn through calories while you train. So even though you're
probably spent after 30 minutes of weights, your body is ready to eat
fat faster than it would if you started by "telling" the body to attack
sugar.

best way to burn fat: HIIT - high intensity interval training.
the article is misleading, as beginning with cardio does make your body begin to pull calories for energy, it also takes glycogen from your muscles (uses muscles for energy) and depletes them.
as well as that, once you begin working out, you have about an hour until your body starts releasing the SERIOUS catabolic hormones for the breakdown of muscle tissue for energy. so doing 10 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of weights, and 30 minutes of high intensity cardio is just silly. you'll lose more muscle weight like that than anything else (high intensity cardio goes direcly to muscles for energy since there is a higher demand for it and muscles are much easier to extract energy from than fat storages are)
unlike constant low or high intensity cardio, HIIT burns fat even AFTER you are done with it for the day

Never do cardio first.... always finish with it. You're heart rate is up already from the weights assuming you're moving at a fast intense clip, (your metabolism is primed for straight calorie burn).
The time of fat burning peaks when you hit that bike, treadmill or whatever you choose.
This is 101 and a very common mistake.

If everyone's body is different, how can one method be the correct way of doing anything? I don't think there is a certain way of losing weight. We agree on the fact that there is an interval in our workout that burns fat effectively, but because not everyone has the same body composition I have to think that the methods we use to manipulate our bodies to reach this stage is different for every person. What these researchers should be teaching people to do is how to listen to their bodies instead of following some random time table.

I've been doing cardio first. I'll be switching that around.
