If I'm going to be doing HIIT for cardio--would you suggest doing it on it's own day? Right now I do it after I do lower body weights/exercises. Thanks for any input. Oh--I jump rope now that it's cold outside. But I do have a stationary bike and a heavy bag. Would you suggest just doing one? Or splitting up the 20 mins. among 2 or 3 of those? Thanks again.

You can do your HIIT after any of your weight workouts without any need to worry IMO.

But can you REALLY do HIIT after a workout? I think either your workout will suffer or it really isn't HIIT. I know when I'm done with HIIT on a spinning bike or on the road bike, I am totally gased and fatigued (gasping for air, bent over, ready to puke, RPE of 18 - 20 on the borg scale) and the last thing that I would be able to do is hit the weights afterward or before.

Absolutely, I've done it for years.

Read what I said, do can usually do HIIT afterwards, not before...

Anyone who is young and in half decent shape can handle HIIT after weights IMO. With the possible exception of a ' legs only ' workout in which you blast / exhaust your legs.
