Exercise

Your Qi energy tends to stagnate when you are physically inactive.
Long term stagnated Qi energy can cause body pain (muscle,
joints etc) in minor case, or develop other illnesses. Exercise can
help prevent Qi energy from stagnating, thereby helping the body
maintain physical and mental vitality. For maximum benefit, exercise
should be done on a regular basis.

The benefits of regular exercise include:

- Improving overall fitness, which makes it easier to perform daily
activities.
- Feeling less tired
- Improving flexibility in muscles and joints
- Preventing bone loss and osteoporosis
- Improving physical appearance and sense of well-being
- Reducing stress and tension
- Improving concentration
- Refreshing the mind and spirit
- Enhancing self-esteem

There are many forms of exercise to choose. It is important to
choose ones that you will enjoy doing regularly and from which you
will benefit the most. For some people, slow paced activities are
most suitable, while others thrive on strenuous, high-energy
workouts.

Appropriate types of exercise can be found on your own or with the
help of a professional trainer. If you have medical concerns, it is
important to consult with your health care practitioner prior to
beginning any new exercise programs and to always be aware of
your physical limitations in order to avoid unnecessary injury.
