Any thoughts on which is the best option for mixing Cardio & Weights? Goal is to maintain and have some muscle growth and aerobic conditioning.

Option1: (All lifting is at noon and is 40-45 min and HIIT is max 15-20 min)
Monday - Lift
Tuesday - Lift/HIIT
Wed - Rest
Thursday - Lift/HIIT
Friday - Lift
Saturday - HIIT
Sunday - Rest

Option2: (All lifting is 5:00PM and HIIT at noon)
Monday - Lift
Tuesday - HIIT(noon), Lift(5:00)
Wed - Rest
Thursday - HIIT(noon), Lift(5:00)
Friday - Lift
Saturday - HIIT
Sunday - Rest

Definitely option #2. You should not be doing HIIT and lifting at the same trip to the gym.
