Oh I see, thanks. I'm not a gym goer, so will pass on that one. I do a wobble board session most days though, should help a bit I guess...
Please could you explain 'backwards on the elliptical'?
No, I didn't think so. Maybe I need to do a bit more strengthening? At the moment I'm pretty much relying on cycling and the little bit (I hope)...
After I've cycled to work, I first give my quads a little stretch - standing up straight, bend knee and hold foot to bum, then push against hand...
Quick question for those who have achieved the splits - how can you tell if your hamstrings are 'done', i.e. stretched long enough to achieve the...

So you went down an entire size - after starting out 2 sizes smaller than street size anyway? I can't imagine even being able to get in a shoe 3...
Miss Silly - Did you go down a whole size or half (are you talking in US sizes?). How much 'spillage' would you say is correct? I have seen...
A couple of questions to all ladies latin RR wearers to help me choose my next pair of shoes! I only dance for 1 - 2 hours per week, and I was...
Had a really great private lesson with hubbie last week focussing on hold in tango, much progress seemed to happen. Managed a brief practice at the...
You make it sound like, for you, it's not worth dancing if becoming a champ is not an option. Not being a champion myself I can only guess, but...
