Thanks ZoneCoach! I will keep this in mind for my aerobics.

But, in Body for Life, Bill Phillips mentioned stretching wasn't necessary for the lifting workouts because of how much weight you start with (or rather, you aren't lifting too much at first, therefore I'm "stretching" those muscle groups before their heavy workout).
Do you stretch before your lifting workouts? Are you familiar with the Body for Life workout program?

Yes, I am familiar with BFL and no, I personally don't practice what I preach (usually) when it comes to stretching. I typically do it the Phillips way and inbetween sets. I do however, ALWAYS warm up on a cardio piece for at least 5 minutes prior to any workout.
