A fitness expert with 35 years of experience reveals their top exercise for those 40 and older. It’s not about muscle; it’s about a Tai Chi “elastic bounce” called the “Qi Machine.”
The exercise starts with feet shoulder-width apart and a “double bounce” in the knees. This is a “drop” motion.
The expert explains that this bounce uses the fascia and ligaments as “rubber bands.” They catch the weight and spring it back up.
This is far more efficient and less fatiguing than a muscular squat. It’s “nearly effortless” and creates little metabolic waste.
When the arms are added, this bounce becomes a full-body wave. It circulates blood, engages the spine, and “opens the mind,” promoting holistic health.
For those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, this is a “life-changing” approach to fitness, prioritizing sustainability, joint health, and internal energy.
