WHAT YOU NEED NOW
More stamina so you can enjoy your life to the fullest.
To the rescue: Qigong
(pronounced chee-gong, which means "energy work")
This form of active meditation--made up of flowing repetitive movements designed to harness your body's energy--has been shown to enhance nervous system activity and lower stress hormone levels so you sleep better, feel more focused, and have fewer cravings. A recent UCLA study found that healthy adults reported feeling 10% more energetic throughout the day after practicing tai chi, a more complex form of qigong. A Swedish study also showed that qigong helped women in their 40s with fast-paced computer-based jobs to naturally slow their heart rate and blood pressure all day long. You can get all of these benefits and more without stressing about how to fit it in! Enter: our exclusive 15-minute routine you can do anytime, anywhere (without changing into workout clothes!). Even if you can do only a few moves a day, you'll feel happier, revitalized, and ready for your best year yet.
