TAI CHI Week 2 or Knees loose elbows bent shoulders down

Well, congratulations to all of us how made it through Week 2 of Tai Chi. Each week adds new exercises to our repertoire. Today we learned the 5 Posts: 1. Where we hold the beach ball, with our palms tilted towards you. 2. Now we reject the ball, with fingers pointed to each other and away from you. 3. Okay, on to 'praying' mantis with our fingers flat on the pulpit. 4. with back of hands together and fingers down (can you feel this in your back?) and 5. with hands by lower hip, palms pressing down.
We are building on getting stronger with each group of exercises. I wish I had started this before the snow last weekend so that I would have been better equipped to shovel the walk!
Thanks to Liz, our leader, for putting us on this new and exciting track and for ever reminding us: knees loose elbows bent shoulders down. I just love it.
If I am forgetting anything, please let me know. See you all on Monday. Nancy
