Cardio during a workout

Heavy Duty dude

Some trainers in my gym recommend doing 1-2 sessions of cardio in the middle of a workout - like 15 min each time -. Do you think it is a good idea? It seems to me that it would just fatigue the person and that it would be better to do the cardio after.

What do you think?

Thanks.
 
Did they offer any reasoning behind this? Doesn't make sense to me. It would just make your lifts post-cardio suffer.
 
Well it's to elevate more the metabolism I guess, and allow the muscles to recover.

Doesn't make much sense imo. Walking 5 min on the treadmill between say the pecs and the triceps can be a good idea since it would keep the person warmed up and let the triceps recover, but except for that it would fatigue the person more than anything else.

I've already tried that and it seems to kill my strength. Also I've talked to a guy who was told to do that and he said the same thing.
