build muscle


Qigong? You don't say? It is pronounced "chee gung." And it is a simple workout that involves the body, mind and spirit. It costs nothing. It can be done at a gym, in your backyard or in your home. All you need is your body and your breath and it will help you build muscle. 

In the practice of qigong you stand with your joints and muscles comfortably relaxed, feeling your belly expand and contract with each breath. So, you are probably wondering how this will build muscle. With qigong you also hold specific positions for a period of time. Somewhat like yoga. In doing so the muscles are taut and become stronger. 

Qigong works with life energy to improve health and a sense of well-being. Classes start with exercises designed to cleanse the body of toxins. Movements gather up energy for later use in the body. There is a series of eight exercises. They have been developed to build muscle, circulate energy, stretch muscles and massage the internal organs. Try this peaceful workout to bring your body, mind and spirit back into balance. It sure has worked for me!
