Will I get the same benefits if I can’t raise my legs as high as Miranda?
Learn how to work at your own capacity.
Yes you will! Miranda is not only the creator of this technique, but has countless years of experience in professional ballet and personal training. Don’t feel bad if you can’t raise your leg as high or stretch as deep.
When starting with the Essentrics technique, it’s very important to remember to move at your own pace and capacity. You may not look anything like Miranda when doing the workouts now, but with regular practice, you will become stronger, more flexible, and be able to follow along with ease.
Our bodies take time to change. Moving at your own capacity—even if you do the workout slow and limp “loose like a ragdoll”—you will still reap all the benefits of the program. Don’t give up and keep at it!
