Ditch the Squat: Try This “Effortless” Elasticity Bounce

A movement expert suggests ditching the fatiguing squat for an “effortless” elasticity bounce. This “Qi Machine,” practiced by the expert for 35 years, is perfect for those 40+.
The exercise involves a “double bounce” in the knees (feet shoulder-width apart). The key is to “drop” the weight.
This “drop” engages the fascia and ligaments, which act like “rubber bands,” springing the body back up. This avoids muscle strain.
This “nearly effortless” movement is sustainable for a daily routine.
When the arms are added, the bounce becomes a full-body exercise. It creates a “beautiful wave” through the spine, circulates blood, and promotes a deep mind-body connection.
This approach is ideal for long-term joint health. It proves that maintaining mobility doesn’t require high-impact or high-strain exercise, just intelligent, natural movement.
