I think most trainers would say it's not a legit argument and do both. If I had to advise someone who wanted to do weightlifting 4 days and cardio 3 days per week vs the slightly different regimen of cardio four days and weightlifting three days I would say favor the weights slightly. Once the muscle is added to your frame it will burn more calories every day even in rest.
