BaguaZhang (basic exercises)

“Workout” is to exercise to stay healthy with no specific goals.
“Training” is what some do, for a specific goal or performance. Sometimes training is to increase knowledge of a particular skill set.
“Practice is what individuals commit to do, in order to improve, increase or perfect their skills for a specific goal, performance or mastery.
BaguaZhang is an exercise method that can be a workout, training or practice depending upon the goals of the individual.
BaguaZhang exercises consist of:
– gentle stretching
– deep rhythmic breathing
– walking exercises for the lower body and blood circulation
– exercises that have been time-proven over hundreds of years
BaguaZhang translates to 8 Trigram Palm.
The Bagua is an 8-sided shape which can represent harmony and balance. Trigrams are relative to Chinese philosophy from the I-Ching, which has been studied by millions for hundreds of year to learn to exist within balance.

The 5 Phases of Life & Methods to Have Strong Joints

Today’s detailed discussion:
The 5 Phases of Life & Methods to Have Strong Joints

Would you wear a winter coat to the beach in July?
Or swim in freezing water in January?
Feed solid food to a newborn baby?
Eat Junk food when you have health issues in your latter years of life? Probably not, to most of these scenarios.

So why do so many people use high impact exercise methods, when they have weak or injured ankles, knees, hips and back?

Many people have no knowledge of the ancient 5 Element Theory which offers detail of what types of exercise, activities, nutrition, goals, etc. are relative to your age and physical conditions.

Low impact exercises from tai chi, yoga (qigong), and other similar methods offer many benefits for a wide range of individual ranging from seasoned athletes to those injured or rehabilitating from illness.

These exercises have passed the test of time. Yoga/qigong (origins in 3300-1500 BCE), Asian Martial Arts (origins of 4-5 century AD), Tai Chi (origins in 12th century AD). These practices have endured because they produce results for those that take them seriously.
