and drink your PWO shake after the cardio, not before.

Cardio on days when you don't lift weights (off days)

I walk every day on an incline treadmill, even on days that I lift. I always do it after my workout. Should I quit walking on my lift days?

Never.

If youre cutting and want to implement some anaerobic routines to stimulate muscle growth/spare it, then do cardio always after the workout, after you do cardio your body is in a really catabolic state, it's best to not even mix the two in one day, but some people are very fixated on their cardio and won't go a day without it (like me). Also spread them out if possible, do the workout in the morning then cardio late afternoon. Some anaerobic workouts burn as much calories as a cardio workout so I don't really see it as neccesary in the same day, other than keeping the cardiovascular system in good shape.

after, you'll use at for energy because you've used everything else while you lifted.
