Would you do cardio after strength training with a 30 min break, or go back for cardio at night?

Depends on what you are going for. If you are going for bulk, then you want to tip the balance towards strength/weight training. If you are going for toned, you want to do more cardio.

Going for lean doesn't mean no strength training. It is just about what kind of weight/strength training you do. Less weight and more reps for toned. I do both. My preferred exercise is yoga. It kind of combines a lot of different muscle groups. It is also going to the lean or toned look that I want.

Think of it almost like the equivalent of swimming, without the water. Swimming is a great workout because of how many muscles (plus cardio workout) you can use. Problem there is the whole getting to a pool thing.

Other than yoga and occasional swimming, I do work with resistance bands and run. I run more than anything this time of year when the weather where I live is relatively cool in the morning and evenings.
