Re: Reflections on the Iso-Bow

[Guest guest]

I'm with you on all three points, Shen. As Mr. Miyagi told -san..

" focus. "

few things that I have found.

move from one direction to another. I have to conciously put in the effort to

maintain the pressure when doing this.

up. It's like I'm dividing my concentration. I've found it better to focus on

the working arm, and the other arm will follow suit. In other words, If I'm

pushing up, I focus on making it hard, and the pulling arm will automatically

provide the resistance I want. When I'm pulling back down, I switch my focus to

the pulling arm.

doing something else, and my mind might wander and think of the Iso-Bow for a

second, and then I'll suddenly think of a movement I haven't done, so I'll go

pick up my Iso-Bow and give the newly formulated exercise a go.
