I am shooting more for this:
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Being an Ent might be cool. They don't move much, but don't get them pissed off...

I have found the opening exercises to be deceptively difficult, and I feel this alone will take up at least 3 months of my time before even moving to part 2 of the book. Here is the second book. This one is advanced practice supposedly useful to those who want to move on to martial arts.

well i've done it today and yesterday so far. 5-6 minutes on each exercise. the first exercise seems pretty easy. after the second one my arms feel really sore. a little numbness in my hands too like he says will happen. it certainly does feel like a good work out.
i meditate every night and have been trying to get into the habit of doing it in the mornings too, but it's tough. i feel like these qi gong exercises fit much better into my morning routine. hopefully i'll be able to keep it up, i like it so far.

I do start for 6 minutes, and I am up to 10 minutes for the balloon holding exercise. After 5 minutes the second exercise becomes extremely challenging. I like that it integrates mind and body where most meditation practices disregard the body.

The real secret to Qi Gong is in the slippers.

Probably not a bad idea. One would be the Qi Gong Warrior from Hell in a very short while.

Bi-Mart? What the hell do they do at Bi-Mart? Training for what?
Anyway...I got an update. My wife and I am up to 21 minutes a day of practice. I am finding it quite challenging. My goal is to make 45 minutes a day, and I think that I'll keep my time at that point and devote 45 minutes a day to it everyday. I am finding myself to be developing more muscular aches in the arms. The pain in my legs has subsided. I am getting weird tingling sensations in my arms and hands as well due to circulation changes. When I finish I am invigorated and feel fresh. Anyone else doing this practice please update as well in order to compare notes.

Bi Mart is beyond your knowledge weedhopper. One needs a credit card and much courage.

I have only a credit card, so I guess I am out.

You also need to be a member.
I like what you are doing (back on topic) I may give it a go myself.
