I’m settling into a new routine. In essence, it consists of the two qi gong forms, some push-ups, and the tai chi form somewhere between three and five times. It seems to be about the right balance for a half-hour of work. At some point, I’m going to have to greatly expand this in order to do an hour of tai chi a day, but this is working for the moment.

If I may be bold, let me recommend Squats in addition to Push-ups. Start with 20 Half Squats and by the time you work up to 50+ ass-to-grass (which should take only 2 or 3 minutes) you’ll have all the endurance you need. Pull that power up out of the ground, through the legs, into the core, and out into the arms.
There’s about 25 squats built into my two qi gong forms already, so that should be an interesting and useful addition.
Awesome – you’re gonna have legs like Apolo Ohno!
