My Anti Aging Morning Routine
Qi Gong is an easy age old exercise to help relax, center, ground, and rejuvenate - I find it much less strenuous to do than yoga or pilates and according to many sources a daily practice of Qi Gong provides amazing anti-aging benefits to the body.
According to the Monterey Bay Holistic Alliance ( see their article) Qi Gong can help loosen muscles , build bone density, reduce stress, balance emotions, improve circulation, improve posture, flexibility, balance, memory, and help with better digestion. See all the videos below
I found a variety of Youtube videos that I like to do for a morning routine. I've posted three of the videos below that I found that I enjoy doing most.
I posted other Qi Gong videos on a previous post. There are a good amount of free videos available on Youtube and by many different teachers.
I read that the best way to relieve stress is to have a daily routine that you do automatically without having to think about it and make decisions.

The Happy Liver is a more advanced routine but well worth looking at-
It seems to incorporate more yoga poses along with the Qi Gong

ReplyDeleteAngie,
ReplyDeleteI apologize- the photo is of someone else doing Qi Gong- I didn't have a photo of myself!!
You sure are proactive in taking good care of yourself. Loved the videos and will try it myself.
ReplyDeleteNancy,
DeleteI tried to find a Qi Gong class in my area but I would have to travel a half hour . I realize I love the Youtube Videos and they work gret
This is totally new to me, but I could stand to relax a bit more...or just in general. Thanks, I'm going to investigate.
ReplyDeleteQi Gong is great- easy, relaxing, and rejuvenating. It gets your energy going and what could be more convenient than a free video from Youtube
DeleteHi Judee! I'm visiting from Healthy Motivated Life, via the Friday at the Fire Station Link-Up. Thanks for the tip, I'm going to do a little more research on Qi Gong to see if it's a good fit to add into my morning routine!
