Exercise in its purest form is the movement of life force otherwise referred to as Chi or energy around the body by combining movement with breathing.
When the correct choice of movement and breath are made to support an individual’s physiology and psychology then positive adaptation will result. However, the reverse is true when the wrong choices are made.
