When you train for both you actually negatively impact your results for both which is a scientifically known interference that has been documented since the 1970s I believe. Anything more than brisk walking can cause this. A lot of people just don't do any research so they only hurt their own results by doing a bunch of cardio when they are trying to gain muscle mass and other stupid things like thinking working abs or, and I hate this word "core", will make you lose fat in one area. If you strength train properly you are doing cardio anyway and will lost more fat so there is really no point in cardio unless you are obese, injured so you cant lift, or your job/sport specifically require endurance. Most people who do cardio are just stupid people who didn't do any research, well 90%+ of the people in the gym. For instance women think they will get muscles from strength training even though they lack the testosterone to gain muscle so they just do cardio crap.
But most people dont do research and listen to the idiot personal trainers who dont know what they are doing and dont really care. Thats why you see the 150lb nerd doing 50 upper body exercises trying to shape his biceps and pecs, which he doenst have, or the guys doing 3x10 when they have no base muscle mass to start with anyway. Cant sculpt if you dont have any clay. And these same guys are chugging supplements and muscle milk while eating 2500 calorie diets and give up mid january.
stronglifts.com is a good site to find info or startingstrength

I think the idea is interesting, I think there's one guy at work who normally works at his desk standing. I can't help but think that first few weeks would be oh so unpleasant though as you get used to standing all the time instead of sitting...
