Guest guest Posted March 9, 2000 Report Share Posted March 9, 2000 Yeah, actually....I am getting close to that time and I can not do the back kicks for anything..I keep losing my balance...normally I can at least do them without practically falling over. I have no idea as to how to correct it though! balance at That TOM Ok, guys on the list look out...this is chick talk....I was noticing today that during That time of the month, my balance while doing tae bo is off. My "machine gun kicks" are off, I almsot fall over. My kicks are sort of off center too....messes me up. Has anyone else noticed that? na As Deb has said: "Fitness is a journey and it begins with the first step."

For me, I attribute part of my balance during that TOM to being bloated. My bloated stomach throws off my balance, LOL.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 na and Elena, Thanks for mentioning this! I noticed the balance thing, but didn't connect it to TOM until I read this post..and now that I think about it that makes sense. My balance was zilch today and I couldn't figure out why..I was focused, kept the abs tight and wobbled anyway..lol.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 When shows how to correct your balance - I can't directly look at someone losing their balance or I lose mine too. I also can't look at where I am kicking because I can't keep my balance then either (if it is a side kick). I wish it was only during that TOM (actually, I have always said I have Tom - a high school thing that has just stuck. Immature I know.) It has to be my inner ear thing and related to the dizzy spells. Anyone else have this problem???? le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed that? na ------ I just thought there was something wrong with me, because sometimes I can get the balance and other times I can't. I thought there was just something wrong with it, but it does seem to be at that TOM when I have trouble. I never would have realized it if you didn't mention it.

You might want to try picking a focal point and turning your head slowly to that point before you kick. This might not work during the workout because you will be moving faster. But give it a try when you aren't using the tape. If it isn't an inner ear problem then it does help to pick focal points on each side of you when you are doing some of the moves where you are turning in different directions. explains this better in one of the tapes, but I can't remember which one..a sure sign of using too many tapes. Maybe one of the tapes? If so, , Help! -who is pleased as punch that her server is actually working today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this problem???? > > le, I can't look at someone else who is wobbling or losing their balance either; it is contagious, I think. Balance is one of the most difficult and challenging parts of taebo. Whenever I get to the " balance sections " on AL1, AL3, and especially AL4, I get a feeling of dread. I notice that even the regulars (all except for Shellie, of course), have problems with balance from time to time. It's just tough. The good news is that it gets easier as you get stronger and as your form improves. I really concentrate on holding my abs in, my butt firm, my hips and feet in the correct position, and my chest raised. Barb had a good suggestion that helped improve my balance: wait until you have your balance before beginning the kicks or whatever. I used to just jump in to keep up with the class or the music. Now I concentrate on my form and focus before attempting any fast movements, e.g., machine gun kicks. I notice that some of the regulars do the same (even Shellie). Elena, who tries to look in the direction of the kick most of the time except when she is particularly shakey or wobbly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good idea from (I mean from ). I'm going to try the focus point idea (picture someone or thing is there and kick it as opposed to just kicking air.
