And remember you dont have to do the Advanced every day you work out. sometimes we need a lighter workout to let our muscles recover.

I am looking forward to being part of the list. >> Here are some tips about how to approach the Advanced from the Queen of Modification = Me. Remember to always put form ahead of speed (can do most of it halftime) and # of reps. Pace yourself and walk it out when your heartrate is going too fast to sing but keep moving. Try adding the floor part onto a Basic Day starting with 16 reps of each move and increasing it another set each time you do it. If anything hurts, don't do it cuz as your body strengthens and your mind gets knows the form, the harder stuff will click If you have any joint problems, keep it low impact and modify it so there is no jumping. Barb who thought I was nuts trying the Advanced at the age of 50 but did it carefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I > am looking forward to being part of the list. > > Thanks, > Michele Welcome to egroups, . Good to have you here. You are smart to take things slowly. The advanced tape is tough. Feel free to ask us any questions. I remember how sore I felt after doing it the first time. It's a good soreness though. Tell us more about yourself. How old are you? Where do you live? What are your fitness goals and history?

I am looking > forward to being part of the list. Michele, Welcome to the group! That's a good idea to add the advanced in slowly! You can start off just adding some of the floorwork onto the end of the basic or just doing the first 30-40 minutes of the tape! That studio advanced tape is really tough...so it's good that you are taking it slow! This group is great and everyone here is really supportive and full of great advice! Glad you joined us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
