Sleepyles hit the nail on the head. Weight training can be very aerobic. Moderate weight and higher reps will not only burn calories but your glycogen stores as well. That's why it's great to do some aerobics (HITT is great) right after the workout. That way you are digging right in to your body's fat stores from the beginning.

An alternate to straight sets and reps is circuit training. I like it fast paced, going immediately from one exercise to another. You can really get your heart rate and breathing elevated this way, and burn mad calories and glycogen before you do direct cardio.
