Qi Suduchi Shape at Home is
a great creation, enabling people to
exercise at home, at the
speed and time
they want, without the need for
weights or
equipment.
The
Qi Suduchi exercises which last for seven minutes provide
cardio-respiratory, cardio-vascular and
flexible strength benefits, toning and
shaping the body. A set of five or six
short exercises, strengthen the upper
and lower body, combining
chi and resistance exercises into one activity. The
slow
gentle exercises put the
muscles under tension and the effort and toning
is
amplified to achieve the
maximum result. With warm up and cool down a
session should last
20 minutes.
Once mastered the
exercises can be
performed in a
45 minute cycle, including
warm up and
cool down. According to the packaging copy, "Recent
research has shown that
short intensive interval training is as
effective as
longer
exercise sessions" and therefore the benefits of
Qi Suduchi are
invaluable.
The
accompanying DVD is a bit of a disappointment, with little enthusiasm and
not necessarily required once the exercises have been learned.
Qi Suduchi, a lightweight exercise tool, has been endorsed by
SkillsActive.
Using the
Qi
Suduchi around twice a week will
increase fitness and help to tone problem areas.
