Avoiding injury is the fastest way to muscle fitness, if you are someone who hasn't exercised in a while. Going too fast - too strong - too soon at first will tear a muscle and bring a quick halt to your progress. The yoga rope allows one to dial in their own TENSION, so let the tension become your best friend. Be slow with all those muscles you haven't talked with in awhile. Just focus on becoming familiar with the exercises (proper technique and correct order) while using just a LITTLE pressure. 90 days to a year is a FAST time frame to wake and warm up your body's muscle matrix system that may not have been called upon to act in decades. So whatz the motto " Slow is Smooth, and Smooth is Fast!"
Wow - so well said! "Slow is smooth & smooth is fast." That's an encouraging thought when applied to my quest to have upper body muscle fitness. I'm 56 & want to reclaim muscle strength & flexibility in my upper body. So, thanks for the yoga rope "thorax theatre". Am off to a SLOW, but solid start with this routine!
