How people feel about cardio during diet?

People hate it. I did as well. I didn't know simply where to put it! Before workout - I'm too tired for weights then. After - too tired from lifting...
Therefore I made a new schedule based on a friend's idea from the gym. One day of lifting, one day cardio.
Since I can't do legs due to my hurt knee my new schedule look like this:
Back-Cardio-Shoulder-Cardio-Chest-Cardio.

Weight trainings I will soon post with oral comments (with Shaun) under proper videos takin in the gym, however recording cardio would be pretty boring :)

Day of Cardio

Treadmil - walking (20 mins)
Started off with :
Incline - 8
Speed - 7 km/h

Now at :
Incline - 10
Speed - 7 km/h

After 20 minutes I rest and strech. I do 4 exercises of for the abdominals (4 sets x 15 reps)
- Leg raises
- Body twist
- Abs machine
- Situps
and then return to the treadmil.

Treadmil - intervals (10 mins)
Started off with :
Min speed - 8 km/h
Max speed - 15 km/h
Switching speed - every 45 seconds

Now at :
Min speed - 8 km/h
Max speed - 16 km/h
Switching speed - every 50 seconds

Really gets the blood pumping and sweat going :) the afterburn is sick!
