So I think, "Do I keep going back and trying to learn just the arms until I can do them right going fast and without the video?" "Yes!" "But no, then I won't be confusing my brain because I can tell I'm getting bored." So I do legs and arms or vertical arms fast and I can't do it AT ALL and so I go back and try learning the basics again and now I'm the guy in your question although still practicing... I'm doing it without sound, counting, not counting, doing basic arms on my own without the video here and there throughout the day, can't do it with eyes closed but have tried. I'm so not getting any of it yet still getting that flat feeling SO do I just leap ahead even though I haven't mastered the first parts? (I can do the very basic four part horizontal and vertical arms) I really don't mind getting it wrong because I've always been a physical dolt. And I like to skip ahead. But is that okay when i can't do all the arm combos, not even close? I'm so confused! <abbr><em>Jennifer Loudens last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LoudenMouth/~3/438251334/comfort-during-fearful-times-happy-halloween" rel="nofollow">Comfort During Fearful Times: Happy Halloween</a></abbr></em> Okay, here’s what I’m not getting AND I SWEAR I’M READING ALL THE STUFF and watching the theory part (twice) and all that but AFTER MONTHS I STILL can’t do the all the combos of arms not even close or legs fast but I can do them slow.
