We were back to three today, but a nice practice ensued clocking in at just under 30 minutes. The air was just a touch chilly, but the sun soon warmed us nicely. The insect population appeared to be elsewhere for the most part. A very few found their way onto my skin, but I don't recall any biting or stinging.
Going back to yesterday's comment about keeping the spine straight, I liken this to keeping the fingers "naturally" straight during the form. It's using just enough muscle to keep things in line without hyper-extending anything. I think this could be applied to just about any joint, be it the fingers during the blocks and pushes, the back and neck all the time, the knees during kicks, the elbows during single whip, etc.
