nat,
thanks for the supersponic response!!!
well, first thing the trainers all know me, in a friendly way and I didn't really want to explain BFL to them basically because I'm not comfidant enough about that. so, whenever I go ahead and do my liftings they tell me I should do cardio first. and I don't know, maybe they are right... anyway, at first my trainer told me to do only cardio but after I insisted he gave up and now I basically do what I want. I don't see many other women lifting and the guys sord of look at it as their own terittory. anywat nat, you are right, I know what's best for me and I am paying a lot of money to that gym so I'll just keep getting the wierd looks and just ignore them.

thanks
