Feng Shui

[Skilasnow]

As most of you are probably aware, Feng Shui deals with Chi energy and Yin and Yang to help bring balance to life, if at one moment you are in a very yin state than in another moment it is wise to be in a very yang state to help your body maintain balance.

A list from very yin to very yang physical activities, in a Feng Shui book at my sisters house, starts with sleeping and moves through resting, sunbathing, massage, walking, gardening, dancing, sailing, in this order, and ends with horseback riding, surfing, and finally, skiing, suggesting that skiing and sleeping are about as opposite as it gets in physical activities. This helps explain why, and I think it was Tommy Moe (but I may be mistaken), had the highest recorded heart rate of any athelete at Salt Lake 2 years ago.

Considering how closed to fatal disaster he got and didn't: that was to have been expected!

Except that it was recorded at a dead stop seconds before he started his run

For years I used my waking pulse as a guide to training intensity. 40 bpm and good to go, 42 bpm was reason to take it below 75% and 45+ meant a trip to the doc. Conscious slowing during meditation might get me down to 35-38bpm on rare occasions.....
and then there's spinning the rollers at 205 rpm, or motopacing at 65 mph...that'll get the heart rate up!

Don't think I got close to the max ever, but 205 rmp was a symathetic rythmn for me, legs and heart working together. Each of the guys on the team worked different rythmns, as one might expect. At ages 25-27 I had several "sweet spots" for cardio: 205, 145, 120 & 98 rpm. O)f course the load bearing capability of the higher numbers was minescule...but sprinting at 120 or 145 was decent...but three of our guys were turning 150's and higher in sprints so yours truly was relegated to domestique...okay by me actually.

These days I'm lucky to get over 100 bpm and wake up at around 55 bpm.
