If you’ve hit a plateau or want to accelerate your progress, push the envelope. Take something you do well, push it to the point where it breaks down and then work on doing it well at that new threshold.

With what you learn in our movement classes, you could push your range or motion (step or reach farther), slow it down to maintain precise control or speed it up to make it more dynamic. You can also increase the challenge by closing your eyes, then focus doing it as well as you can with your eyes open.

Sometimes doing something poorly is a necessary step to improvement. Prove you can do it and then focus on making better. If you always wait until you’re sure you can do it well before trying, your progress will be slower. Giving up some comfort can go a long way.

What could you improve if you pushed your limits?
