dtstiachi Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Does anyone know how many calories are burnt by practicing Zhan Zhuang for 30 min or 1 hour a day? "The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with but a single step." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovine king Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 not as much as going for a jog or swim for 30 mins to an hour every day. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.

KF Dude Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Does anyone know how many calories are burnt by practicing Zhan Zhuang for 30 min or 1 hour a day?If you are practicing daily for 30 min to a hour straight I think your body has adapted to the training. The caloric burn would be small. Just curious what postures do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtstiachi Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I try to hold embrace the tree for a solid hour. If I am not feeling as well, I will hold embrace the tree for at least 30 minutes and then change it up with my arms outstreched palms down for 15 min and my hands palm up at the dantien for 15 min. I do know other postures, but these are the ones I feel I get the most benefit from "The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with but a single step."

Kajukenbopr Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 it burns about the same as doing yoga so i would say a LOT more then jogging or practising karate. <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
