This Ancient Chinese Training Technique Can Help You Build Muscle and Reduce Stress
This Ancient Chinese Training Technique Can Help You Build Muscle and Reduce Stress originally appeared on Men's Fitness. More and more people are ditching the hustle and bustle for real connection and balance—not only in their work lives, but in their exercise routines, too. Enter: Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice that promises to help you chill out. Qigong's slow pace has all kinds of benefits for the mind and body, and is different from most typical workouts men might consider. To learn more about what Qigong is, its benefits, and how to try it, we chatted with Lee Holden, master Qigong instructor and author of Ready, Set, Slow. Get ready to build muscle, improve your flexibility, and find your Is Qigong? Qigong (pronounced 'chi-gong') is an ancient practice of physical fitness, mental health, and spiritual connection, Holden explains. It combines movement, breathing, and meditation with a goal of boosting your overall health and wellbeing. 'The idea of Qigong is that men and women in ancient times would watch nature and mirror their bodies on how nature moves,' Holden says. 'So, let's say a cloud was floating across the sky—they would start to mirror the movement of that cloud into their bodies.' The practice was developed thousands of years ago in China as a part of traditional Chinese medicine, which has its roots in the country's philosophy and religion, per the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). 'In Western ideology, if we have emotional problems, we go see a psychologist. If we have a physical issue, we go see a doctor. But nobody's seeing the connections between the two. Qigong sees the connections,' Holden says. 'So if somebody is like, 'Oh, I have a headache,' the Qigong teacher is going to say, 'Well, what are your stress levels like? Let's clear your stress with these meditative movements that get you in shape as well as clear stress.'' What Are the Benefits of Qigong? First and foremost, the mental health perks of Qigong are tremendous, according to Holden, as it's a moving form of meditation. 'The idea is that everything within us is connected. So our physical fitness directly helps and facilitates mental emotional well-being.' Research shows how important exercise is for our mental health, and how mental stress and emotional stress adversely affects our physical health. For instance, depression can wreak havoc on your immune system, per a 2020 review in Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health. Not to mention, up to 80 percent of primary care visits are related to stress. So, stress is the cause of most of our physical ailments. 'When we exercise, it's going to help our mental health. When our mental health is better, it's going to create healing in our physical body,' Holden says. You'll also get physically stronger and more flexible when you start regularly making Qigong part of your fitness routine, Holden says. 'It's calisthenics, it's yoga-like stretches with more flow,' he says. 'You don't always have enough time to go to the gym to get exercise, go to a yoga class to stretch, and do a mindfulness meditation practice each and every day. Well, Qigong does it in synergy. In one practice, you get the benefits of all of those things.' In fact, a small 2020 study in the Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation found that those who participated in eight weeks of Qigong training gained significantly more back and leg strength than those who participated in a control group training protocol that didn't include Qigong. Researchers also found trunk flexibility was 'significantly enhanced' after Qigong training as well. Recovery days are also vital to muscle growth, per the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). As you rest, your body repairs your muscles' microtears from lifting, which results in not only stronger muscles, but more muscle mass as well. So, during the days you're not going hard at the gym, you can use Qigong as recovery 'because it's stretching, it's gentle exercise, it's calming, and it's rejuvenating on many different levels,' Holden says. What's the Difference Between Tai Chi and Qi Gong? Qigong might make you think of Tai Chi, another ancient Chinese medicine practice. Qigong and Tai Chi look similar, but they serve different purposes. Tai Chi is a martial art that uses a series of movements, often performed in a specific order, throughout the entire body. Qigong, on the other hand, is often used as a response to a specific need, whether it's stress or post-workout recovery. Why Should Men Add Qigong to Their Routine? It's important for men to have an outlet for stress and a way to deal with their mental health, Holden explains, and Qigong is the perfect option. A 2024 survey found that among the men polled, 40 percent have never shared their struggles with anyone due to fear of embarrassment or negative perceptions of them. 'That's a mistake, because mental health is so important to physical health,' Holden says. If you have high levels of stress and you're working out hard, you're creating an imbalance, Holden goes on to explain. 'If you've got lots of stress and you come home and you do a HIIT workout or you go for a run, you deplete yourself of energy,' he says. 'Men forget to slow down, to relax, to rejuvenate.' How to Get Started in Your Practice You can do Qigong every day if you wanted to, Holden says, or you could do it a few times a week in between your harder workouts. 'Some people use Qigong as a warmup before their workout or they use it as a cool-down after their workout,' he says. Either way, you don't need to dedicate a ton of time to it. Holden says all it takes is a five- or 10-minute session to reap the benefits of Qigong. 'It's a great thing to do in between working at your desk,' he says. 'Every two or three hours, stand up and give yourself a Qigong break. Loosen up the spine, stretch out the neck and shoulders, take a few deep breaths with some flows—now you're back to work more focused and more energized.' And don't worry if you have trouble with traditional methods of meditation where you sit in one place. 'Sometimes when we just sit down to meditate, it's difficult because the mind is very active and it's almost like you're in this wrestling match of quieting the mind, and then the mind starts talking, and quieting the mind again,' Holden says. 'But when you move your body, you're giving the mind an activity, so there's something to focus on in the present moment, which is your body. It makes it easier.' One of Holden's favorite beginner-friendly moves to start out with is one called 'knocking on the door of life.' Here's exactly how to do it: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms down by your sides. Turn from your hips and waist to the right, knocking your right arm across your upper abdomen and your left arm against your lower back. Then, turn from your hips and waist to the left, knocking your left arm across your upper abdomen and your right arm against your lower back.

Don't Surrender China's AI Market
Why did Jensen Huang go to China? The Nvidia CEO wants to make American tech platforms the global artificial-intelligence standard by gaining market share and engaging other countries with U.S.-developed computing infrastructure. That means doing business in the largest AI market outside the U.S. Some in Washington seem confused by this. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Jim Banks (R., Ind.) sent a letter in May asking Mr. Huang to explain why his company would 'choose to enrich an authoritarian country's innovation ecosystem.' They're at it again, chiding him in another letter last week for meeting with Chinese business executives. It's the second time these senators have questioned the patriotism of one of America's most important CEOs. The objections reveal a deep misunderstanding of how America wins: not through fear and withdrawal, but through strength and engagement. Mr. Huang's strategy aligns with President Trump's: Engage with all, compete everywhere, and avoid abandoning markets out of ideological fear. Mr. Trump hasn't isolated. He has negotiated more with foreign countries than any modern president and built leverage for U.S. manufacturing. President Biden, in contrast, presided over a shrinking American share of the AI and semiconductor markets in China, offering moral lectures with little follow-through. If Nvidia were violating export controls or handing over sensitive intellectual property, that would be a problem. But that isn't happening. The company established a compliance center in China to ensure that its operations follow U.S. regulations, even shutting down chip sales after a recent ruling by the Bureau of Industry and Security. Nvidia could face billions of dollars in losses as it navigates a shifting legal landscape.
