Another fitness professional putting in my two cents. What you describe is a body that is accostumed to the demands that you routinely place on it. When that happens your only choice is to change the routine.

You can do this very simply, even by varying the repetitions, speed or intensity of the work that you are doing, even in dance. For example, if you are doing a 5 part routine, and you practice the same way every time, your body gets used to it. If you change the order, your body will respond because it's not accustomed to that routine.

That having been said, you alluded to not being able to do any other cardio. If you'd like, pm me and we can talk about specifics and what might be useful for your particular situation.


OK, STOP WEARING THE WEIGHTS WHEN YOU PRACTICE!!!!!

Yes, I'm yelling. I have knee issues, I'm firmly convinced that they were caused by wearing a weighted hip belt to practice. You are doing nothing to help your body and are wearing the cartilege in your joints out by asking them to absorb the additional weight. If you want to add resistance, do the routine in a swimming pool.

Not in costume.
