Re: weight training - before or after you dance?

i've also asked this question of a number of different trainers in different genres. here's what they said [of course it's not consistent]

gym trainer 1: weights then cardio

gym trainer 2: makes no difference

gym trainer 3: do first what you hate more [weights or cardio]

martial arts trainer: either way, so long as you do some cardio after to help prevent lactic acid buildup in the muscles and move the impurities out of the muscles with blood flow [interesting]

dance professors: warm up, strength train, rehearsal
stay away from heavy biking as it can tighten hip flexors [interesting]

military trainer: do enough of both to make your troops puke

there must be many other theories and perspectives
