It is my first time hearing about the Chi Gung exercise program. I love that this book teaches a program for seniors as well. It is sad to say, but they are left out of the loop too many times. With a pandemic now, we need to ensure that our seniors have things they can do from the comfort of their homes.
I was excited to see that this type of exercise reduces stress and relaxes us. As a diabetic, this is great news for me, because stress is a proven reason for a spike in blood sugar. I will encourage others who are diabetic to give this a try. I checked out some videos on Youtube and so I will be looking to purchase this book. Thank you.
Hi Josephine, thanks for your comments, I am happy to be the person to introduced you to Chi Gung, I think this is an underestimated form of exercise, the Chinese have been practicing this art for centuries. I think you have nothing to loose as this art can be learnt from a book or video to start with, you may then feel the need to find a club to meet like minded people and keep you motivated. Yes older people tend to practice this form of exercise due to its gentle movements. This is something I will be doing more of once my martial art days are over.
Stress is responsible for many different illnesses, any way to reduce stress is essential and this is a great way. Nice of you to encourage others to get better health and have done your own research.
Great comments! I wish you success in your new found Chi Gung journey

This sounds like an excellent book.
I like that it more than just about exercise, but it’s all about the whole being and is as much about within, as the external.
I like the fact that there are not a lot of exercises and that way I can concentrate on getting them right rather than trying to remember what comes next.
If the exercises reduce stress, prevent illness and stops aging, then I think we should all be wanting to buy this book to get started immediately.
Hi Geoff, thanks for your comments, Chi Gung is for health and is a holistic type of exercise. I always find keeping it simple is best and having fewer exercises is the way,
There is great benefits but like most amazing things it takes dedication and consistency. Daily training for months, but worth it in the end.
All the best
