Xing Yi

Legs Improvement
I was not able to run up steps like last week, just walked up faster.
Still not able to duplicate my 18 year old running up ability.

The legs muscles cramp, gets tired fast with
the Xing Yi standing posture.
I can average 3 minutes each leg, 2 sets.
Then 1 minute on last set.

I was able to stand for 6 minutes 1 night, but not every night.
Sweat poured out of my forearms at night on 2nd set.
It is a humid summer.

Hands + arms improvement
Sitting down, thought about the Xing Yi circling exercise,
and the palms and feet started pulsing. Stopped thinking, stopped pulsing.

AFter 400 reps, of cloud hands
and the 400 reps each side, on the circling on Sunday morning,
my right forearms felt within it, has a ball or a rubber band outside the bones,
but within the muscles. but there was, on the side on the palm, in the middle of the forearm the size of a pea pressing, or trying to grow within.

The left forearm felt heat on the bottom/back of palm side,
Straight from wrist to elbow, as I held in
"tan Shou" wing chun hand posture. The heat is not there on the Xing Yi hand posture.
