Friday Practice

 

The Details and Notes:

Day #6

It's 57 at the house. It's raining and very windy. The sunrise was at 7:06.

Nothing scheduled for today but need to go grocery shopping at some point.


I need to reach out to Brian Mallet about music next Wednesday afternoon. I ran into him and his wife Lynn (3rd wedding annivesary) last night at Gianni Fig. He told me that Lefty is having some memory issues....Ugh! I PM'd him on FB this morning.

The Practice:

I started on The Deck with a round of Lo Family Staff focused on Sequence and Direction as well as Fa Jin and low Cross Leg Stances.

Next I did a round of Anyo Anim focused on Stances, Basics and Applications.

Next I did a round of Kusanku Kata focused on Sequence and Low Stances as well as Agility and Mobility. I find this Kata challenging as I age.

Next I did a round of Yin Baguazhang 8 Palms Changes 1-4 reciting the Names of the Postures throughout.

Next I went up to The Loft and did a brief Warm Up and I put on a 10 lbs vest and used 15 lbs dumbbells to do a #8 variation with Biceps and Overhead Press. 25 lbs for Triceps and Bent Over Rowing. 8 lbs for Around The Head (for shoulders, abs and balance).

Next I did a Round (right side) to Master Liang's count and music. I was able to get all the way through without a single glitch. Yay!!

Next I did Standing and Healing Qigong.

That's it for today.............
