Hello:
I'm really working on my form, and I want to make sure that some of the things that I'm doing are okay:
1. During the Block, Tape 1, Teresa wants you to go to the side very slowly and watch your knees, then she torks (?) to the back....When you are going to the left and right, are your elbows back? Can that help to make sure that only your back is moving?
2. Tape 2, Okay, I've got the lunges down pat, and I really love them, but the second one, I can't remember the name, where you squiggle down and then you straighten the bent knee. Is your knee, once again, straight above your heel and not bending over your foot? If I'm doing this correctly, I'm okay with the straightening of the legs, but when it comes to lifting your foot is it okay to kind of lean forward and put more weight on your hands to lift your foot (at least until I'm able to do that exercise without leaning forward)?
3. Back to tape 1, plies (sp? sorry)...I am really using my legs to pump up and down during these exercises...Is that what I am suppose to do or do I try and not go so far down until I'm better at t-tapping.
One more question:
4. Is it okay to introduce a target point into my exercising at this point, 6 days into it. I would love to get another one of the tapes that would target my stomach and legs.
Oh, another one:
I don't know if you can answer this or I may have to go to customer service, I ordered Total Workout is there a way to upgrade to Total System?
Thank you for your time and advice,
Sincerely,
P.C. aka ForMyself :)
