One advantage to being a pro member is that you can have a lot more workspaces than regular folk like myself (I can't remember how many sorry... it should say when you click on the work spaces tab in the menu bar) So I'd say make use of them :)
How you use them is of course totally subjective, and what works for one person has no guarantee that it'd be effective for the next. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds. What I can tell you is how I "code along":
I know many people like to code along step by step, others watch the video a few times and then practice the topic covered. For myself stopping and starting the video doesn't work, I get lost and have to keep rewinding it 30 seconds to remember what's being said. One of the great things about treehouse is the videos are usually in nice small chunks, so what I tend to do is watch the video through and then try to recreate what the teacher did. Often I cant remember and will then watch again, or skip through looking for what they did next. As a non-pro I can only have 100 workspaces, so I actually code along on repl.it/languages/python3, but the practice is the same :)
My advice: Definitely use the workspaces and do the code that's in the video else it really will get forgotten pretty fast, but how you code along is just up to you. Find a rythm that feels natural and helps you remember and go with it. Also experiment with and try to break the code in the video lol nothing helps you learn faster than bugs in code lol
Best of luck, I hope it helps :)
