>I'm a 14 year old dancer who has just recently started dance.I've been taking ballet for about 5 weeks now and I'm not showing any improvement when I take my foot and leg up in grand batma I'm very inflexible in my adducters which I think is the problem not the hamstring. What can I do to bemore flexible and attain a higher alttitude in grand batma and other realted postions.Thats problem one problem two is my arches are pitifull even for a Guy. How can I get better arches, I've heard of something called a theraband or something like that but I've never seen one or learned how to use one. P.S I lift weights and sometimes bech press as much as 155 pounds and leg press as much a 245 pounds does that affect my ballt techniqe and possible stunt my growth? thanks I'll be looking foward to your answers on how to fix my problems.[/i]
