Good goddess woman!! ARE YOU INSANE?????
I know you want to build strength and stamina, but I agree with Lauren and Antimony... put the weights down. You need to be doing other exercises, including cardio (low or no impact is best if you're worried about your joints). Your body is too used to doing the "same old thing". By changing the routine completely, you force your body to work in different ways and you develop different muscles. I'm not saying that you shouldn't dance and stretch, but you've got to have variety. (oh, BTW - no joint pain is a
good thing!) Don't make me drive over to your house and throttle you...
Much love and hugs!
