Not really... a lot of people have reported that in other threads. CS didn't sit well with me at all. I think it all depends on the individual. I find Miranda's moves to be under-cued and at times too fast. I do great with advanced yoga, foam rolling and Jill Miller's stuff but in the few times I tried CS, I walked away with more kinks than I brought to the session. It's not a strain issue ---I just find the moves awkward and aggravating. It's too bad because I really wanted to like CS. I'm just glad that it works so well for some people. It's a relief when you finally find the technique that works for your body!

Great advice here - about hydration and nutrition. Both are key. Yes, agreeing with everyone on listening to your body.

Donna I'm sorry you became injured. Hope you're better soon!
I've been doing CS 3x a week, and I've come to the conclusion that Miranda's instructions are often best looked at as exaggerations. Bearing in mind that the majority of her viewers are the general (aka weak, mostly non-exercising) population as well as many elderly, with a tendency towards poor posture and slouching in everything. I think her reminders to pull out of your socket are an extreme way of keeping your body aligned (aka not slouching). There is a gentle pulling out required but not as extreme as she makes it sound.
