Hello David, I made that question because I wanted to know if the prolongation of the exercise could help to get faster a better control. >From the very beginning, I have been working with a countdown clock. At the fifteen minutes it notifies me about the end of the exercise. But I was thinking that if I extend that period of time from fifteen to thirty minutes, for example, it could help me to get a better control of the exercise because you have a longer time to get the ten minutes of control required by Bardon to consider that the exercise has been controlled. Personally, I don´t like very much that idea of not having any sort of time limitation, because then you can be one hour, two hours, three hours, etc, doing the exercise and you can get strong headaches or the brain completely exhausted if you don´t get the hang of the exercise. In my opinion, the exercises must have an established period of time. But if the other form works for you, then go on!!! :) JOA ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Yeh" <ldreamr@...> To: <BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 3:48 PM Subject: [BardonPraxis] Re: Fast Questions --- In BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com, "adeptus" <joa_adeptus@y...> >>> How much time can be extended the exercises of step 1?

I don't know if this answers what is being asked, but: I have found it fruitful to start without any sort of time limitation, to focus on what I am doing rather than how long. Then, after I get the hang of it, I start taking the time into account. David Yahoo! Groups Links
