Aloha shakurav,
Depends. In the beginning it can take some time to "prime the pump" and quite down, which is where doing a long set helps. What's the "begining?" It can be the first day or frst year, 2, or 3 later.
The active exercises are active because the movement give a focus for the mind and body, as well as assists in opening channels just from going through the postures. This is very helpful, especialy for those starting qigong.
The actice exercises also helps one go deeper in their sitting mediation.
Walking qigong, sleeping qigong, blessing your food, working on others, and doing good things for others while living from Love, Kindness, and forgiveness, one integrates Spring Forest Qigong into their life, rather than finding their 30, 45, 60 or 120 minutes to exercises.
Much Love, Shawn
