General Recommendations for

Learning and Performing

The Exercises Sets

W hat is a set? This is a set of exercises arranged in a certain order, giving a particular load on various systems of your body. All exercises in the set are interconnected in such a way that they provide a harmonious collection, accumulation, and balancing of energies in the body. Each set has its effect, manifested in the improvement of systems, organs, tissues, physical and mental condition. To some extent, all these games, particularly in the first stages of development, are aimed at cleansing the body. The ultimate goal of all these sets is to enter the state of samadhi. The art of compiling set is one of the components of the Teachers Art. In this respect, it is necessary to look at their mastering and practice accordingly. You cannot perform the set-in parts, it is undesirable to interrupt its performance, and you cannot change places of exercises just because you want so.

E ACH COMPOUND REQUIRES (at least) three weeks of regular work, after which you can start the next set.

Its perfect to practice in nature or a well-ventilated room, but without drafts. The training mat should be comfortable, not too thick and too soft, and of some fun color.

Its not recommended to exercise on a full stomach (not earlier than two to three hours after meals).

The optimal time for using is morning, while your family sleeps, and you dont disturb anyone. Start exercising after performing your morning hygiene complex. Eat not earlier than half an hour after training.

The principle of gradualness:

increase the load gradually;

dont hurry to move to the next set (exercise) without learning the previous one;

always move from the simple tasks to the difficult ones.

The principle of regularity (or systematicity): to achieve results, you should practice regularly every day and try not to miss a single workout.

The usual approach: if you cant perform the exercise with increasing load (muscle pain, fatigue, no wish to work, etc.), you have to stop and decrease the amount, and then, continue following the two previous principles.
