Felt compelled to have a go at doing one arm forward Xiaopengs while doing one arm backward (and then swapping around for next set) while warming up yesterday.
Mainly hurt my brain. 
Asides from that felt pretty good. I could already do the alternate direction arm circles thing no problem, but getting the palms facing the right way took a few sets !!
Haha try it in a busy gym, see how many looks you get.
Xiaopengs are one of my favourite exercises from F1. Awesome name too.
It was a busy gym!
...however I got rather more looks while working through a set of deck squats with a touch of wind. Embarrassed I moved in to a side room for next few sets ...which was better apart from the echo. Must have sounded like I was rolling over a duck. 
I tried this (the Xiaopengs, not the wind) the other day too. Good fun, but I feel the stretch isn't quite as good as doing them individually.
haha, very interesting, I had not thought of combining the two xiao peng
I stand by thinking that together they are not as good a stretch as individually, but doing them together was definitely a good warmup stretch for H1 day today
