Friday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 68 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:20. The high tide was at 8:34. There was very little beach and virtually no wind. It's Friday so I have an 8 am video meeting with Jeff. I brought my Canon camera and tripod to the beach to shoot the sunrise this morning. 

The Practice:

I practiced in the soft sand because the tide was coming in. I played tag (push-hands) with the ocean. After snapping a few photos I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on health and consistency.

Next I did a Round (right side) focused on moving from Song and using my Dantien as the source of Jin to my limbs. I kept returning to the feeling of Song. 

Next I did Standing Post Training (SPT)

I finished with Healing Qigong as I was returning to the house for my meeting with Jeff.

NOTE:

I've been QW every afternoon and I've been going to the gym at least 1-2 times per week. When I don't manage to get to the gym I've resistance training here at the house with dumbbells and TRX straps. I've been much more focused on developing more and more Lean Body Mass than ever before. I've come to realize that LBM is critical for good health as we age. I'm happy that I've done as much resistance training as I have. I started regular Nautilus training in 1978 at the first Nautilus gym in Hadley that was run by Joe Mullin. I've continued to this day with only a little time off when the gyms were closed during Covid 19. Oy!
