The quantity and quality of exercise varies from person to person. It is based on your age, body-type, and baseline of health. But EVERYONE has to move in some form. From gentle movements like yoga or qigong, to high-intensity exercise, the style should be appropriate for you.

Too sedentary of a lifestyle can result in a vicious cycle of fatigue, weakness, and weight gain that makes it hard to start exercising. Acupuncture helps break this cycle by increasing energy, metabolic rate, and well-being so that you are inclined to exercise. You gain momentum and get in the habit, and next thing you know you have leveled up!

Over-exercising can also be detrimental to your health. Especially when we consistently use energy drinks and pre-workout products. With these, we can easily run our bodies down unconsciously. The result of this habit is depleted adrenal reserves, i.e. severe fatigue, as well as a propensity for injury. It can take a LONG time to recover from this kind of long-term habit, and recovery is not fun. Acupuncture can quicken recovery, and treat the mentioned complications in the infographic.
