Power qigong

  • Sunday, 30 Mar 2003

If slow exercises are done the qigong way, the benefits are further enhanced, and this is also safer since less weights (when necessary) are used. 

THE benefits of qigong include health, healing and fitness. However, to acquire fitness, the exercises have to include elements of resistance, weights and aerobics. The stationary and slow-movement qigong exercises are excellent for developing qi and improving oxygen utilisation, while the walking exercises also help build cardiovascular health and stamina, but they do not build enough muscles.
