Exploring the interaction of the Three Gates and the Three Centers. I saw this note from a dear friend who has survived on the planet for lotsa years, and loves loves loves playing basketball.

“Practically all the fitness training advice out there is not really appropriate for me any longer at some level or another. I have to baby the hip, I have to baby the right shoulder, I’ve substituted reps for weight and probably won’t ever get back to serious weight.

Anyone know of a really good fitness routine designed for older people?”
