Hey guys just joined the Jedi temple a few days ago and I might need some help with a few things in the future so I will make sure and tell you guys if I do need help. thx

Pushed it to 8 minutes, today, holding the ready stance. After today, it is not unwarranted to speculate that yesterday I did something wrong; I felt the effort through much of the time, today, so I think yesterday I unconsciously rose up to a more comfortable position and thus wasn't hold the stance properly, whereas today I was very conscious of the link between feeling slight relief and rising up, so, consistent, conscious awareness of my form will be critical to my training.

Uh oh, today it was a lot easier to hold the ready stance for 6 minutes, perhaps tomorrow I'll aim for 8, or even the full 10?

oof. My training is going ok, so far- just now I managed to hold the ready stance for 3 whole minutes. I'm aiming to hold it for at least 10, but I've got mistakes to correct if I'm going to get there- I didn't stretch at all before doing this today, and I suspect I'd have done better if I was stretching properly. Consistency is also important- these are excercises I should be doing on some kind of regular basis if I'm going to even maintain, nevermind improve. I know what to do, I just need to do it. Next is practicing some actual form work- I've got a good bamboo stick that'll make an excellent stand in for a saber.

Alright, managed to "train" again, and held it for 6 minutes, again! If I can keep up with doing this every other day, I should have no problem pushing for my goal of being able to hold the ready stance for 10 minutes!

Woot! Progress! It's been almost a week since I last trained, but I doubled my last record; I was able to hold a ready stance for about 6 minutes! (I used a timer, this time)
