when to change

[juszczec]

Hi folks

I've been doing Warrior Wellness Beginner off and on for some time. I don't find it terribly challenging anymore. When do you know when to switch to the next level?

Also, in WW Beginner, some of the exercises seemed redundant to be doing with one arm and then both arms. Other than coordination is there a reason to do 3 (left side, right side, both sides) of everything for shoulders, elbows and wrists?

Mark,

You can progress to intermediate when you can perform every movement with a technique of 8 or higher on a scale of 1-10 (10 being perfect form), an exertion level of 3 or lower on a scale of 1-10 (1 being no effort), and a discomfort level of 3 or lower on a scale of 1-10 (1 being no discomfort)... consistently for 3 weeks.

The benefit of using both arms is the bilateral releases which can be experienced through the spiral torsions created through the movement... releases that cannot always be accomplished through unilateral movement.

Great.

I think I follow this. Bilateral releases of what, tension?

Residual tension, Sensory Motor Amnesia, Myofascial Density and Fear-Reactivity... choose your poison. Warrior Wellness is a self-diagnostic tool for uncovering and discharging any of these health and performance impediments.

Residual tension is a phrase I can understand - gotta use little words with me :)

This is actually pretty positive. Despite the injuries I've had, the joints and connective tissues are healthy enough that WW Beginner was easy.

I'll post my experiences with WW Intermediate.

Thanks for the info.
