For the afternoons I pick one of these to be done with friends! Ballet on Monday and Wednesday with my ballet friends at home but mentally together. We have a call about how the day is and then start simultaneously but at our own computer. The Stability Ball on Tuesdays with a friend goes also simultaneously. It feels as being in a class together in this way: Small talk before, then full focus on the subject and a text afterward how it felt!

This is part of my morning routine for most of the days. It opens up the body in every direction! During the Christmas I had a break from workouts for four days and it ruined my back! Have been working on it since then. . .

In the afternoon some of the following will take place!

In the morning I have also a slow spinning start and during the afternoons a walk. I am n.o.t. fond of walking but after loading interesting pods the situation is the opposite - I don't want to miss a day now!

Basic training November - December 2020

This period was unusual and strange! I never really landed on a few favorites as I have done earlier but changed the videos continuously to find the best one for the body. I kept doing the morning indoor bike, the workout, and things but no continuous plan.

Mostly I was bouncing around among the workouts at Pahla B channel where this one was one of the top favorites! I think it will peekaboo me even in the future!

The most stable thing has been our ballet class which has been going on through the fall. Monday and Wednesday 12.00 we three ladies have a short facebook call about how the day feels and what had been going on. Then we hang up and do the program on this video! When ready we just send a message about how the lesson felt this time!

For me, this solution has given more insights than the actual lessons where so many other things have been going on. Now I can listen to my body and follow up on how a movement flows through my body. How it should flow and how it actually happens. During lessons I need to keep up with more details than I am capable of It seems so!

Let your fingers tap up your musical skill!

This summer I have been working on tango and my efforts were divided into movements and music. I do not have the science to back up my opinion here but I am sure that if I tap through the song my hearing process is going develop. Subjectively I notice how much easier it becomes to recognize how the music goes. I recognize the changes faster and they grow more clear day by day.

During these training weeks I have used some of the examples juanayjulio channel has published. They have done a tremendous job by choosing the songs, fixing the rhythmical visualizations and giving us suggestions for the steps! It has been a good help for me this summer. Basically I sit on the sofa with my laptop and start my playlist. When the clip plays I tap with my fingers the rhythm suggested. Not anything advanced here but just one finger from each hand is participating! I had to test a few times to find the most comfortable finger combination but now it is working fine and it is a relaxed moment in the morning.

This is part of my pajamas training in the morning with coffee on the side table. The morning coffee is very regular for me and the same has this training become!

I list some of the songs below so you get an idea of the possibilities. There are some other songs where I do hear the rhythms differently, the patterns do not continue in the same way through the whole phrase or something. For me these *disagreements* were wellcome showing that my own hearing starts to stand out and now I let my fingers play as the music feels for me.

Later on I will also try to learn the steps juanayjulio suggest on the videos!
