I was at Half Priced books one day and I came across this neat book called Shaolin Workout
I had it for a couple of weeks just sitting there then I decided to start doing the workout. First off all, the Sifu has a really interesting background, of which you can read a little about on his Wikipedia page.
Anyways, the workout is really neat. It’s divided into four sessions, each session being a week long. Each day you learn a new lesson. You learn six each week, and the seventh day is used for review. From these you build. So for the first day you do the day one lesson, then the second day you do the day one lesson then learn the day two lesson. The third day you do day one and two, then learn day three. You continue this until you learn them all and can be able to do them all in the correct order.
It’s really neat. I’m learning stretches, breathing exercises, postures. I’ll be learning some basic kicks and punches too. I want to do this because I’m really a hypocrite because I don’t work out much and I’d love to gain flexibility and eventually get back into martial arts again. It’s pretty cool, check it out!
