    That is funny, Tara. Especially at the beginning you think your brain really will explode trying to remember everything... and then little by little bits of it start becoming more automatic so you don't have to think about those so hard. But the beauty of it is that there's always more to think about, and learn, and incorporate.

    As I was working out today I was more mindful of muscle activation after reading this thread. I'll have to work on some visualizations. Some of the movements have visualizations built right into the names... like "pulling the weeds".

    Started T-Tapp in July 2010 after searching for a good strengthening/stretching/flexibility workout. I think I found it!

    Oh WOW!!!!!

    I put in my 2nd instructional this morning, BUT I thought about the whole 'bow-around-the-shoulders' thing and OMG I couldn't finish it!!!
    That's the first time I haven't managed to finish a WO!!! By the time I got to the arms sequence I thought my arms were going to burst into flames, the heat coming from them!!!
    I'm afraid I'm going to have to finish the rest of the WO tomorrow!!!

    Thanks Kiona, great visualisation technique! PHEW!!!

    Thank you so much for sharing this, Kiona! I've really been trying to focus on greater muscle activation lately, so this is very timely. The area I have to work on the most is my thighs. I'm not sure that I am activating correctly. Most of my activation originates from the turned out knee and the tucked in, tight butt. I have trouble keeping the belly of the muscle tight but I am working on it!
