For years I have been practicing Qigong, and I feel absolutely great doing it! To be honest I became a bit addicted to how good it feels.
It is the perfect practice to build and maintain a good and joyfull body and cultivate abundant energy for CI research and play!
Qigong can be a daily practice (4-5 times a week) of approximately 20-30 minutes, which feels like a breath of fresh air, but then inside of the body.
It gives me a sense of deep relaxation almost on a bone level (if such a thing exists..), and at times makes my arms and legs feels like rubber bands. They are both strong and flexible, at least that is how they feel.
The interesting part is that these practices give real results, both on a physical level as on an energetic level.
So I can highly recommend to learn Qigong as well! At the meditation center where I work we offer this as a series of workshops, which starts with a weekend offering level 1 & 2 combined.

Qigong has in the past been used as the basis training for Kung Fu, and it is the perfect basis for CI as well.
