Shuai Shou Gong

Shuai Shou Gong (Chinese: 甩手功; pinyin: Shuǎishǒu gōng; lit.: 'Swinging hand workout') is a hand-swinging exercise pioneered by Taiwan Qigong (气功）master Li Feng-shan (李鳳山）

Standing with both legs apart at a width roughly equal to that of the shoulder, Shuai Shou Gong involves moving both arms in parallel, swinging first to the front of the body until they are the same height as the shoulder, then swinging the arms back with a little effort until both arms are behind the body. On every fifth swing, the knee should slightly bend down and spring back quickly - once when the arms are swinging towards the back of the body and another on the return swing to the front of the body.

It is suggested to be carried out 3 times a day and last at least 10 minutes each time. It is to help to improve the blood circulation and start the healing process if there are any ailments. It is recommended to avoid drinking cold water immediately after the exercise despite cold water having no negative effects.

Shuai Shou Gong is claimed to cure many ailments including cancer, with anecdotal cases reported in Taiwan.
