I found it interesting :D Im constantly looking for new exercises cos I get bored really easily :S Tbh when I was doing Tai chi, I felt really fit, had loads of stamina and excellent balance :thumbsup: Hmmm I need to find a class I think! Ill try and remember that one in Archway cos he was ace and you never know Roland might still be going :p ;)

Was it a Chinese guy teaching Sweet? Or was it at a University? They are the main two I could find.

Tai chi would be really good for you, you should try and find a class ;)

Was it called the 'Wu' school?

Type in archway + tai chi on the t'internet and see if any results ring a bell!
 
Ive just had a look and the Wu school doesnt ring a bell. I remember that people would come from quite far to go to the class :)

I can find out, but my mate who told me about it lives in India know so hes difficult to get hold of :S

Shooms, of course it was a beast, all my tunes are beasts :p ;) It was my most expensive tune ever!! Arrrgh Ive got 2 things now doing my head in :crazy:

Or H.I.I.T as its known lol. Has anyone tryed this barrrrstard? Fuck me it is hard. I am used to doing 45 mins per day cardio, say 4-5 times per week. Now i do just 20 mins of this stuff 3 times per week and its miles harder, its all about 100% effort for short burts, then coolong down, then spazzing out again- my legs were shagged afterwards!

I don't use any of the resitance machines either now, just my own body and free weights to tone, its all bloody squats and shit. The hardest is the ab work where i have to lye on my front, and pull my body off the ground with just my tip toes and elbows tuching the ground and suspend there in some kinda sadistic David Blane stylee stunt for ages. I swear my whole body starts shaking. I am so tired today after it, but i tell you what- its ace and i love it.

Anyone else gone down the H.I.I.T route?

i've tried H.I.T, and feel that it's not as good as conventionalk traing because you are only ment to do 1 heavy set.
