In Houston, Melendez saw no shortage of stage time. A person who weighs 155 pounds will burn 223 calories during the same length of activity. If you're having trouble balancing, this test can reveal areas of weakness, like instability in the ankle, knee or hip. This progression lets you focus on balance and strength simultaneously, while preparing you for adagio.
