Wiggle for Energy

Since joining the gym some mornings I am super sore. When I'm this sore, the only thing that I can do to make myself get out of bed is to move to the floor and lay down with a blanket. On the ground I use the Chi Machine for 20 minutes. It wiggles oxygen into the body and relaxes sore muscles. It has helped me to have more energy and greatly lessen my monthly cramps. My grandma used it to reduce swelling in her feet and to increase mobility in her fingers restricted from arthritis. In Asia it is used for cancer patients.















When the timer is up and the machine stops wiggling, I feel a tingling sensation all over my body. It is like a wave that splashes from my toes and back to the top of my head and down to my toes again. Kind of like making waves in the bathtub. I have to lay there for an extra couple of minutes, otherwise I get light-headed if I stand up right away.

Check out this short video of how the chi machine works. My machine doesn't have speed controls like the one in the video. Mine has one speed setting, along with a timer.
