The Hardest Thing In Exercising Is …
… in getting out of the house.

The inertia is the hardest, and sometimes the starting point is also the most unexpected.

Key(s): 
1. Schemes will not help if you cannot take the first step.
2. Do the `bare minimal` at least, e.g. 1 page, 5 mins, just 1 time or 1 round attempt, etc. Example: Jogging on the spot to warm up and get the score to 0 or 10 instead of negative for the day. It can also set the body to be able to cover the next stage for the day.

Go long and slow. It is more important to last longer than go faster — unless a predator is after you.

My Shifu once said, “as the trout swim pass the side of the boat, the boat rocks. That is just 1 fish — that is the mechanism of efficiency in Taiji”. It is important to learn the lessons from philosophy and arts, and apply the principles. The central idea of Taiji is control and harmony.

To have power but no well control is an illusion and delusion of power. — 2013-10.04

Taiji is all about steering the force…
