My goal would be to do some kind of practice that isn't class at least once a week.
Today I did Hannan Sultan's 3/4 Shimmy DVD for the first time. About 10 mins before the end my muscles just stopped responding to anything my brain was telling them and the whole thing nearly killed me. Didn't realise I was that unfit!
Kind of cheating this week as there are no classes due to easter holiday.
26/4/11 40mins stretching last night
27/4/11 3/4 shimmy DVD again (trying out the theory that you only need to do the DVD 6 times to master it) muscle fatigue kicked in around the same point but I did find the whole thing less frustrating this time.
Hey Belly Love...I wrote you back and my computer crashed, so I don't think you got my reply...but "hello...and good idea"
I switched from 5 20 minute self designed lessons per week to one hour long lesson on Saturday from 7p-8p..to replicate a real class...so I did that yesterday.
No class for me again this week. Did 3/4 shimmy DVD for the third time. Still torturous but definite improvement, Can actually do it now but can not sustain a good one for a decent amount of time.
