I'd go so far as to say that such a plan would be a disaster for blood pressure. So the person who gave you that advice used bad logic. That said, there are some experts who argue about doing cardio before weights - but it's not because of increased heart rate. You mostly hear it from people who are more inclined to be runners first, and lift weights only as an afterthought. No serious lifter I know of would do cardio first, other than possibly a short 5 minute warm up on a bike or something. @ thingswelovetohate – I’ve never heard of the need to get your heart racing before lifting weights.

It's true that unless you have someone else that will "force" you to go the gym (you kinda take turns doing this), then you're most likely to slack of. I haven't tried cardio after work out and I'm not sure what's the deal regarding this. I learned that cardio is needed in workout because you need to increase your heart rate before lifting weights... If that's wrong then my Weight Training class in college was messed up.
