>>>I agree with balletboy about warming up the knees. I use Pearl Izumi bikelegwarmers to warm up primarily my knees and lower legs. It makes jumping offthe garbage truck alot easier for me. I also have a pair of cotton/lycra legwarmers, but I use those at the gym or for wearing around the house to keep warm.>>>I found though, that even when I took adult ballet, in a heated studio,wearing legwarmers help out alot. You might be different and might not need them. [/i]
