Re: Restarting the course
@middleaged any particular version ?
My old British version say's to do lessons 1, 2 &3 every workout, then add lesson 4 and do all till the next lesson arrives, then drop 4 and do 5 etc. I read that originally lessons were sent out every month.

Re: Restarting the course
Always good to do the whole course and use many exercises from memory that may not be in the last perpetual lesson.
