Hello board members. I'd like to start off by saying that this discussion board is a tremendous help and inspiration for a Qigong beginner (and potential Qigong beginners)!
After much reading I finally ordered the course. I really haven't had it for long, nor have I been routinely practicing the exercises (yet) but, I have noticed quite a bit of change. It's my general mood - I used to be down and depressed always about something. Now I sometimes feel as though I could jump out of my skin with happiness. Although this isn't the way it is 100% of the time, I still feel more at peace than I ever have. I can deal with people and stress and life in general far better. Perhaps I'm experiencing a bit of the euphoric feeling some people get when practicing SFQ, which I've seen discussed on previous posts. Whatever it is, I love it. This is my motivation for making SFQ a greater part of my life.
So on to my question. I want to start weight training. I was thinking I would do at least half an hour of the active meditations in the morning, then move on to 15 - 30 minutes of weight training (or aerobic, i.e. bike riding). I've noticed that after the active meditations I am very loose, and my muscles are warmed up (and I have much energy of course). This, to me, seems like an ideal time to work out. Would there be any reason to hold off on other exercises right after doing SFQ?
Thanks to everyone who's posted here! All this knowledge has really helped.
Brendon
