March 10, 200620 yr 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."
March 13, 200620 yr 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.
March 14, 200620 yr 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?
March 15, 200620 yr Author 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."
May 29, 200620 yr 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
