The Chinese Way to Keep Fit

by Jiawen Miao

This is a book of gentle, effective exercises designed to improve circulation, correct poor posture, and build muscle tone. The movements are based on traditional martial arts practices that not only offer physical benefits but also strengthen the mind-body connection. A series of photographs illustrates eachj set of exercises, which consist of dynamic sitting and standing poses that require slow transitional movements from one posture to another.
