How to lose weight without movement and strenuous exercise

Long before the treadmill was invented, the Chinese discovered a stationary exercise more than 2,700 years ago that helped people lose weight and strengthen not only their body, but also their mind from the inside out. In this exercise, philosophies honed over thousands of years of cultural and spiritual evolution have been instilled.

Taoist sages discovered that the secret of health did not come from external sources or physical exertion, but grew from within, when the body was still. Like a tree, in the stillness one’s body flourished from the inside out, became strong and healthy and in harmony with nature, returning imbalances within the practitioner’s body to a state of childlike serenity, where agility, health and peace of mind are a native phenomenon. .

Through years of extensive research, the old masters discovered that the body and mind were similar to a midnight lake reflecting the soft glow of moonlight. When one’s body was not calm, the trembling surface of the lake distorted the image of the moon, but when one quieted the mind, the body and the mind gained a perfect reflection of the heavens, still and strong.

One of the main problems with exercise and health today, and really the same as with most other aspects of our lives; When we realize that our habits are beginning to affect us negatively, it is often too late to do anything about it. People smoke every day and then get cancer. Drink alcohol and your liver will fail, or in our case, lead an unbalanced life with a poor diet and well … gain weight. Now being fat really wouldn’t be a big deal if that was all. Unfortunately, being overweight is a state of imbalance that causes many internal problems; motor problems, muscle problems, organ problems, nervous problems … And by the time all of these things kick in enough for us to start to realize it, most exercise regimens online or at the local gym are too demanding. with your body to undertake regularly. Often times, they just hurt too much because your body has become too weak.

This is where Western exercise regimens find their limits.

So today, I am going to share this ancient exercise with you and I can guarantee that you do this every day for only 30 to 60 minutes a day. Your health will return, your body will strengthen, your skin will clear, your mind will calm down. Your dietary needs will change on their own from the inside out as if someone changed your settings from the inside and you will lose weight.

The name of the exercise is called Post Standing or Zhang Zhuang and this is how it is done:

To do:

– Stand up, keep your spine straight

– Legs shoulder width apart.

– Keep your chin parallel to the ground

– Relax your shoulders

– Bend your knees so that when you look down naturally, your toes are hidden from view

All of these symptoms are indications that your body is beginning to remove blockages and rebalance itself from the inside out.

As you calm your mind like lake water at sunset, the reflection of the moon will become perfect. In the same way your body will become perfect from the inside out and your ailments will disappear. You don’t need to move, just sit still and this ancient exercise will take care of you. Everything arises from nothing and from the stillness of Zhan Zhuang’s practice, thus health will emerge in your life.

Everyone has equally discovered the powerful effects of perching every day. Post Standing is the foundation of hundreds of forms of Kung Fu and is considered the pillar of strength, longevity, and an integral component of spiritual cultivation.

I know many people who cannot hold the pose for 5 minutes before they begin to gasp and bend over from tension. It is not magic, these exercises have been perfected for thousands of years and practiced for the same time in the East. The West is just beginning to scratch the surface and explore these chapters of Eastern medical history.

At first, you may have a hard time holding it yourself for a long time. Start with 5 minutes, then as your stamina builds continue with 10, 15, 30 – 60 minutes per day.
