New Project- Open Source Fitness. Have you felt in a rut with your exercise program?
Have you recently fallen off the habit of fitness? Want to try something new just to mix it up? I’m going to publish my personal fitness regimen for a 4 day a week program. I want this to be “open source.” This means that I want others to help tweak and add to the idea, and that the idea is “free”. The layout of the program will be over four days. Oh, and on these three days, I might want to split some of this into the morning and some into the evening. Three of the four days will have calisthenics, stretching, and strength training. The fourth day will be dedicated for a long run. No sign-up necessary. Monday morning, early, I’ll share the first installment of “Open Source Fitness.”

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM; simplified Chinese: 中医; traditional Chinese: 中醫; pinyin: zhōng yī; literally: "Chinese medicine") is a broad range of medicine practices sharing common concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2,000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (Tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy.[1] It is primarily used as a complementary alternative medicine approach.[1] TCM is widely used in China.[1] The doctrines of Chinese medicine are rooted in books such as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon and the Treatise on Cold Damage, as well as in cosmological notions such as yin-yang and the five phases.
Starting in the 1950s, these precepts were standardized in the People's Republic of China, including attempts to integrate them with modern notions of anatomy and pathology. In the 1950s, the Chinese government promoted a systematized form of TCM.[11] Chinese herbology. Dried herbs and plant portions for Chinese herbology at a Xi'an market.
