To ask this lady I see at the gym who is very fit if she could show me some simple free weight exercises?? Or should I just ask a trainer (I can't afford any real training). I want to start with free weights but I know I will look like a knucklehead and don't even know where to begin!!!!!

    I dont think it would be rude at all, you should ask, the worst thing she can say is no. She may be more than happy to help.

    Personally, if I were that fit woman, I would be flattered that you asked. So I wouldn't find it rude :)
    In fact you could be doing you both a favor!
    She could be helping you better yourself, and you would be giving her a great confidence boost!

    Definitely ask her. If she is not stuck up, smug or otherwise unpleasant, she would be flattered that you ask her for advice.
