If you are unclear about when or how to do your cardio -here are a few options:
You can do it on the non-lifting days. An example would be: If you lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, do it on Tuesday-30 minutes, Thursday-20minutes HIIT, Saturday -30 minutes.
You can do a cardio session immediately following a lifting workout, but I would suggest doing steady cardio. HIIT may be too draining.
You can do a workout that incorporates both intervals and lifting. This workout would count as a cardio session.
You can do a cardio session in the morning and lift in the evening. Don't do this regularly. What I mean by that is, you can give it a try for a few days a week, but don't do this on a regular basis.
You can split your cardio: If you do this, I would suggest a 20 minute session of steady state in the morning, and a 20 minute session of steady state at night.
When I say steady state, I would like you to keep your heart rate around 60-80% of your max.
