Here is your 30 day training program.

Please take care if you know you have some painful or difficult areas of the body and resist the temptation to push too hard in the training. I have been teaching for many years and practising for almost 20. I have experienced how much further we can go, if you just don't push too hard. Also, you will see on the following program that I advise you to train for 2 days, rest for 1; then train for 3 days, rest for 1 and so on. It is very important to have these 'rest' days, as then is when your connective tissue will rehydrate and allow the body to recover.

Enjoy your training!
