@Adam S I like your “letting go of such n such”. I used to expect too much of myself which often leads to stress n disappointment. But NOT ANYMORE!!
Range of movement Improved
This is a small thing that's kind of a big thing. This morning after the live class, I was putting on socks (it's a frigid 45 degrees in Sacramento lol), and I just bent over and put my socks on. For a really long time (years) I have to lift up my leg by grabbing my pant leg, and lifting it up, then am able to put on a sock while sitting. Today I'm able to bend over and put the sock on without thinking about it. I just wanted to say thanks.

If only I could tell to all the women in the gym when I see them having a hard time dressing up, that they need to take some exercises that would ground them up, instead of just staying in the warm water jumping up n down. Unfortunately they all go see a doctor for their pain n end up in the surgery room🤪.

I can attest to this for I have been healthy for years and sees the doctor only once a year for my annual. At my age of 85, I still manage to do everything my heart desires….sewing , gardening, painting n a lot more. I may have some pain but do not consult a doctor for it goes away after a session of qigong or chair yoga. And yes, I will STAY THE COURSE!!

@Joshua Harris I had back surgery due to stenosis in 2006 and the pain in my right hip down to the leg appears depending on what I did that day so I would swing my arms n my whole upper body left n right with the lower part of the body steady several times. Raising the right arm n leaning to the left stretches some of the muscles on the right side seems to help too.
Tai Chi Stick
I received my tai chi stick yesterday evening and enjoyed my first stick routine this morning. It tested my coordination at times, but I will get it.

I love doing the Tai chi stick also. It really engages your wrists, elbows and shoulders for controlled movements with the stick. It causes your body temperature to rise which is a good sign of strong “Qi” flow.

Hi, I am Seny, Sonny’s mother-in-law and oldest student, who needs a lot of energy🤪, so I do a lot of qi gong to be able to do my arts & crafts.
