2016 New Year post - TCM and Fitness

Firstly, wishing everyone  a Happy New Year for 2016...

And with that, this shall be the first entry for 2016... and this time my focus of the blog will be to include information related to TCM - Traditional Chinese Medicine:


Just a little update how come I start to go into talking about TCM... about 2 months ago, I have the opportunity to chat and learn some TCM facts from a TCM master. The information shared have really open up my views on total health from another aspect.

To cut the long story short, I am very impressed with the many wonders of TCM and how it can benefit our health...

But before I start to continue further, I need to put a disclaimer as follows:

- I am not a certified TCM practitioner; all information presented here are based on my learning experience from a  TCM master, and also with read up books from the library. Therefore, please take all these information with  a reading leisure for digestion, and perhaps you may wanna add on your own personal further research by taking up appropriate courses or approved  read up materials.

With that, I shall jump in to my main topic; TCM and fitness.... It is interesting to wonder what could be from TCM point of view with regards to Fitness...

To put it bluntly (so that I do not need to type so many words), TCM does recommend exercise for good health... However, not all types of exercises... In particular, High intensity types of exercises are not recommended... I'm sure those of you fitness enthusiast here should have a fair idea of what high intensity exercises refers (and definitely feel shocked and unable to accept)... However it is not nice for me to name the types of exercises... so to put it simply, any exercises which makes intensity hard, those gruesome workouts that makes you feel like almost struggling and dying and sweating lots of perspiration...

...As this topic description is kinda long, and to allow you to have a better read up digestioni have deiced to make short passages, and reveal more facts in 'to be continued'... for the current moment, do digest on my revealing fact here that TCM does not support High intensity exercises.

...To be continued...
