My Base

This is just a short blog that really will probably be ignored, but it comes with a question at the end.

I've been lacking in training lately, and so to try and get everything back into order, I've started doing stance training, particularly my Horse Stance.  Now, I've been put back quite a bit, I used to be able to hold one for up to two to three minutes(which I know isn't a big deal), but now I'm down to approximately 60 seconds.  Just figured I'd vent about that.

Now for the question:  What does everybody do to get themselves in the mood to train?  I find that kung fu movies do it quite well for me, but I don't always watch them.  Any advice would be helpful.
