Akolodin, I'm the exact opposite of expert, but my understanding of the spider legs exercise is that it is like a 'warm up': something to spend five minutes or so doing at the the start of your hour long lesson.

I.e.: you don't need to 'master' it before moving on- it should be part of your daily workout. My problem is that I don't seem to be getting better- but from what other folks have said on this thread, that is a pretty normal feeling.
