Sólveig We should all do it

I was thinking t-shirts. For the fun of it but if anyone can sell anything, also for the sake of Darebee I guess.

Bonfire allows you to campaign and fundraise through clothes. I have a t-shirt and tank top through them and love them both.

Thank you ! I did Tai-chi a while ago, in a class, but never alone at home. I wonder if qigong is about the same or not (sorry, I can't explain my true feeling in English)

Louve rose I too have practiced some tai chi and this form of the 5 animals is very similar

I like it a lot because it's dynamic, it's both great stretching and excellent breathing work.

Today I tried to use the pull-ups as a filler between the sets of The Gauntlet, the idea is good but I have to take at least 30 sec of break or how today I get to trudge

I went back to hook kick practice, every now and then I vary

I'm going back to "stuffing" the strength program with pull-ups

Kettlebell exercise > 3 pull-ups > 30 sec rest, and it worked fine

I will do the same thing tomorrow with the push-ups, it was a good idea to follow The Gauntlet's training days division but the extras must be wisely dosed so as not to overdo it.

Is the quotes theme historic figures? I like it, very appropriate and inspiring.
