The Raadha Kalpa Method

Hello Rukmini,

I wanted to see if you have any advice on how to adjust practice sessions if one is going to the gym for strength training, and running for cardio.

In 'how to use the program', you mention if one has 5 hours in the week, to divide it into say about 90 min sessions, 3 days a week. But in each of those sessions, would you still recommend going through all/some of the strength training modules if one is lifting weights in the gym on other days? I realize both are somewhat different forms of strength training - gym vs RadhaKalpa - but it seems like I have to skip either one to manage my time and fit everything that I'm trying to do.
Your take on time management is also appreciated, and thank you very much for this comprehensive program.

Dear Akhila,

There is certainly a difference between a regular weight training workout and the strength in this online progrm. Weight training can augment and help one's strength and power in movement, but it is important to do functional work that moves through your entire range of motion that is required in dance, for it to be fully effective. You can do it alternately, for it to have the best effect. You can always to weight training one day of the week, and maybe go through the strength routines on this program another day of the week.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Warmth
Rukmini

Thank you very much for the response! It does make sense and will try to follow it alternatively, think that would definitely be the best way to approach. Appreciate it.
