Hi TracyG! Thanks for your e-mail I apologize for not replying sooner I haven't been checking out the blog lately. Anyway, in response to your question I do the whole exercise from beginning to end including the ending. I'm unemployed at the moment so I've got the time to all the routines. There were 2 occasions it was in one weekend I was doing a 2-day course I didn't do the whole routine I just did the first 5 moves. But, interestingly though my body has felt lighter & lighter I'm not as tensed as I used to be. Also, my tummy has gone down a bit, because there was a bit of a bulge there. Good luck with the Qi Gong. GUILLAUME.
