Balancing Resistance and Cardio?

I been struggling with this for the longest time now..

If I do great at weight lifting, I have absolutely no wind for cardio..

If I have a good cardio.. I can't lift a thing..

How do you balance the two?

I thought it was just because I had gotten out of shape.. but no matter how
much I work out,I can't seem to build both..

I do them on different days. It's always worked well for me.

My goal was to do cardio everyday.. but obviously it's not working out..

I can do long walks on weights day... but not high intensity cardio... I
just can't build it up..

I think you should do them on different days!

Why do you want to do cardio every day? It's totally unnecessary, and
it's also perfectly okay to take a day off per week from everything and
just relax. In fact, I'd say it's crucial.

Are you trying to do high intensity cardio every day? If so, why? I
think that unless you're training to compete, it's not only not
necessary but often not helpful and potentially harmful.

Long/slow or long-medium/moderate cardio three or four days a week
should be plenty, especially if you're lifting weights regularly.
Occasional high intensity (google "HIIT") is fine to keep things mixed
up, but every day? No. Your body is obviously trying to tell you that
it's not happy, so why try to force it?

So why not do the long walks everyday (read Dr Oz recommends 30 min
everyday rain or shine)
and do the HIIT on alternate days to weights?
At least youre out and about and not flaked out on the couch!
Walking is so underrated yet so good for you!
