A 35-year fitness veteran shares their secret to circulation: the “Qi Machine.” This simple Tai Chi exercise is recommended for those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
The move is a “double bounce” in the knees, performed with feet shoulder-width apart. It’s a “drop” motion.
The expert explains it uses the body’s elastic recoil, not muscle power, to rebound. This makes it “nearly effortless.”
This efficient movement creates little metabolic waste.
When the arms and spine are integrated, it becomes a full-body wave. This holistic action circulates blood, “opens the mind,” and balances energy, promoting overall vitality.
This exercise is a perfect example of how gentle, consistent practice can lead to profound health benefits, especially for maintaining circulatory health as one ages.
