The glycogen in the muscles cannot leave the muscles. If you do an upper body workout, you use the glycogen only in those muscles that were worked. Overall this is not very much (except for those particular muscles) because a weight workout is reasonably short. Cardio is usually lots of legs reps (running, cycling, etc.) and will use the glycogen in those muscles + some from the liver that replenishes the muscles.
