dalai is the guru :)

I'll second that, not that I'm hardcore or anything :) I found i'd freakout whenever i had to rely on my upper body strength, cos i have bony girl arms and had never figure out what i could manage, so started jumping on more over hanging stuff in the gym even though i didn't enjoy it at first, I'm finding now that i really enjoy these routes (even if i suck at them) and knowing my physical ability helps me overcome my brain when it starts trying to freak me out :) General awareness of your body and how it works is also helpful, i find Iyengar yoga really great, it's good for muscle balance as well and fits in well between training sessions :)

Have fun :)
