But it's so gratifying once they're over. :-) <br />When I started with the external arts, they were standard. The "warm-up" took a full hour and usually left us pretty exhausted for the next hour, which was the actual class. But every now and then my teacher would do like yours and keep it going. We'd all almost drop to the floor when he finally thought we'd done enough. <br /><br />Good times, great memories. :-)<br /><br />Wimwimhttp://www.wimsblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
