the reason for doing cardio is that im pretty much lying down all day as im waiting for uni to start and still got a bit more fat to go and i feel good after cardio sessions!

Ah, I understand. So, you wanna cut some fat for a bit. In that case, I would make your resistance training workouts into a circuit style routine. That is, you do one set of each exercise in sequence without rest. Once you finish a cycle like that, then you can rest a minute and go again. You may also want to consider simply using 30 second rest intervals.

Then, I would still not bother jogging for 60 minutes at a time. Stick to 30 minutes of traditional cardio, or 20 minutes of HIIT cardio. Like I said before, you are doing HIIT wrong if you can last for 30 minutes. The idea is to go faster and keep the amount of time you perform the exercise static.
