Preparing for the first class

The key to CTW is to toughen up your legs a bit before the first night. If you're already doing a little jogging or a lot of walking or you spend a lot of time on your feet you'll be fine. If you sit in a cubicle all day and on a couch all night you would be wise to get in a month or two of 'low impact weight bearing exercise' prior to the first night. For example: walking, elliptical machine, leg presses, stair climbing, dance, etc. In addition, if one of your objectives is to lose some weight, try to shed a few pounds before the first night, five pounds makes a huge difference when you're trying to get a bit airborne between strides.
