Regarding Hard Qigong

There are many schools in China that offer qigong class. All Chinese schools prioritize the deepening of respiration and the regulation of the mind. Qigong can be classified into two types: hard qigong and soft qigong. The latter commonly refers to exercise that enhances physical and mental health through gentle exercises and meditation. The former is designed to reinforce the body and make it resilient to vicious blows.

People performing hard qigong tend to have a high amount of energy. For those who need a fast way to energize themselves and who want to strengthen their weak body, this is a perfect exercise.

In hard qigong, the practitioner will need to do a lot of tensing exercises that can greatly boost their power and strength. People can usually acquire extremely large amounts of power and strength when they perform these exercises judiciously. Aside from that, these exercises are designed to endow you with a well-chiseled physique.

One of the best things about hard qigong is that it can be performed by everyone, regardless of sex, condition, and age. For people living sedentary lives, few have the discipline to exercise and most are too feeble to even perform household chores. Many of these people are too weak to climb a series of steps without pausing several times or to carry groceries out of their cars. Doing some hard qigong exercises can perfectly rectify such pathetic weakness.

But the best thing about soft and hard qigong is that you can do it without using any equipment and you can practice it anywhere. This is great news great for those who prefer not to join a commercial gym or don’t have the space for gym equipment. Daily qigong practice can heap a ton of benefits for you.
