This isn't effective.

Cardio isn't that important, you have to do very little of it. What's really important is intense heavy lifting to exhaustion of the muscle, and then rest.

Cardio first(not too much), then weight lifting to exhaustion, and then as much rest as you can get. You need two days of rest for each muscle group.

If you don't rest accordingly, nothing will develop. And as you rest you'll burn more fat as your body rebuilds the muscles. That's more effective than a lot of cardio, or soft weight lifting. You're wasting your time if you're focusing on the entire day, and you'll quickly reach a point where you'll give up.

Wether cardio is important or not sorta depends on what he's trying to achieve, doesn't it? If it's for the improved health, cardio exercise is much more important than strengt.

EDIT: And by cardio I don't mean low-intensity running. Intervals are where it's at.

Sure. But even then, excessive cardio isn't as effective as people think. The most important thing is what you eat, for health or even if you just want to get thin.
