Really in that order?

$ man lvresize

DESCRIPTION
       lvresize allows you to resize a logical volume.  Be careful when reduc‐
       ing a logical volume's size,  because  data  in  the  reduced  part  is
       lost!!!   You should therefore ensure that any filesystem on the volume
       is shrunk first so that the extents that are to be removed are  not  in
       use.
