Hindu Pushup routine

Got this note:
"
Steve, can you talk in more detail about your own Hindu Pushups routine? How many sets and reps do you do? How many days per week? I admire your level of fitness and would like to make your routine a personal goal to strive for. Thanks!
Exec | 12.30.04 - 3:05 pm |"
###
Hindu Pushups are like the upward/downward dog segment of a Sun Salutation.  Given that Sun Salutations are considered the very heart of most Yoga systems, it's not surprising that when you extract this one movement and work on it, an extraordinary level of fitness can be achieved.  It is much more "three-dimensional" than an ordinary push-up, and has greater shoulder rotation than a "dive-bomber."  When practised with the "be breathed" technique, it is killer.  An excellent goal to shoot for (eventually) is a set of fifty reps.  Most people will be very lucky to be able to do ten the first time, as they have a total body involvement rare in a calesthenic.  In many ways, a Hindu Pushup is a natural development of the 5th Tibetan (which is done stiff-armed).  Me, personally, I like doing sets throughout the day---remember that I take five short exercise/meditation breaks during the day (the five minute miracle--although in my case it's more like a "15 minute miracle" because each break lasts about three minutes.).  During that break, I will probably do ten or fifteen Hindus, a little martial arts movement, maybe swing a club-bell.  Hindus are a new addition to my program, and I figure to do them three days a week.  On the alternate days, I do yoga.  The trick to the "5MM" is that you NEVER work "on the nerve"--in other words, during your five short exercise breaks, you never come close to a maximum effort.  You are working the SKILL of the movement, not exhausting yourself.  Then once a week or so, go for a max effort. 
##
On the other hand, if I wanted to specifically work Hindus, I might try sets of ten with five breaths between each set.  If that's too tough, here's a method that will get  your numbers up pretty quick: do a ladder.  One Hindu, and take one breath.  Two Hindus, and take two breaths.  Three Hindus, and three breaths.  Keep going as high as you can, and when you can't go any higher, take the requisite number of breaths, then start back at "one."  Killer!
And HAVE FUN.  This is all about getting to know your body better, not about beating it into shape.  Stretch it, twist it, have fun with it.  And it will love you back.

Steve

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you ought to write more on this subject, it might not
be a taboo matter but typically people do not speak
about such issues. To the next! Cheers!!

I comment each time I especially enjoy a post on a site or
if I have something to contribute to the conversation.
It is triggered by the fire communicated in the post I
looked at. And on this post "Hindu Pushup routine".
I was moved enough to post a thought :) I do have some questions for you if it's okay. Is it only me or does it appear like a few of these remarks come across like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I'd
like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you list all of all your shared pages like your
linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

Fantastic blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Kudos!

I've been browsing online more than three hours these days, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It's beautiful value sufficient for me.
In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good
content material as you probably did, the internet will probably be much more
useful than ever before.

Hello there, I do believe your site could be having web
browser compatibility problems. When I take a look
at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, great blog!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
