Theory behind the Exercise
Zhong Li Ba Ren said that according to the Chinese physician understanding, our body organs are interconnected or coordinating with each other. Diseases appear is because of coordination in the various internal organs encounter problems which causing our body loses its balance (Yin Yang in Chinese Term). He also pointed out that there are six important meridians passing through our legs. Those meridians have inter-relation and have significant effect on our body organs. Standing with a single leg, the weak meridian will feel pain due to whole of our body weight focus on one leg. However, this will help strengthen the weak meridian.
