Q: When taking a week off of training every eight weeks, should you also not do any cardio that week? Or would you do more cardio to make for the calories not burned wiehgt training?

A: I would recommend taking the week off from all exercise. Cardio wears on your body just like weight training does and a break once-in-a-while is a good idea. I wouldn't change your diet for the off-week, though you probably want to lower calories a bit if you're taking two or more weeks off.
