Well i am ready to give this a go, but as I havent even heard of most of them i guess it will be a steep learning curve. You tube be prepared - you are going to get a hammering !!!

jessiex21

OK, so I managed about 20 hip abductions for each leg but can't be more exact than that.. Was so busy concentrating on the breathing i forgot to count !!! Perhaps I'll get the hang of this by the end of the month hehe
