What is the best Chinese exercise to lose weight and relax at the same time?

Matthew's reply: Hi Kela, there is no singe best exercise that will make everyone lose weight and also relax. Everyone is different, with different body types, different overall states of health, different stress levels, etc etc.

The exercises I recommend on this site to help you lose weight from your belly and waist region include the Ab Lift and Forward-Backward Bend and Ab Wheel Exercises.

To lose weight overall you may also need to adjust your diet. Go to the following page to download my Chinese Diet Report.

And, of course, you'll need to do some regular, heart-pumping exercise several times a week, such as through sport, soft sand running, stair running, skipping or similar. Choose ones you enjoy! Short, intensive sessions that push you to the limit each time are best - no need to run marathons or do hours of cardio!

To relax I highly recommend acupressure and breathing exercises.

Sorry to disappoint you but there just is no single, best exercise to lose weight and relax. Any questions or comments please post below.

All the best,

Matthew
