Surge of Chi Exercisers or Chi Machines, provide a
form of passive exercise that allows all ages to enjoy a
stimulating workout in the comfort of home. They originated in
Japan 15 years ago - where they emerged from the understanding
within shiatsu and elsewhere about the value of swinging the
feet to create a harmonic response through the torso. Often
referred to in the West as 'Chi Machines' - after the original
Japanese model found its way to the West under this trade-marked
product name - they have a long history, and many fans.
The rhythmic movement generated by the Chi Machine acts to both release tension in
the back and shoulders, and to stimulate respiration and the
nervous system, giving a distinct boost of chi energy -while the
user lies down and focuses on letting go to the motion and
completely relaxing..!
The Japanese realised that benefits of Chi Machines occurred at many levels.
The concept was recognised as a remedial medical device by the
Ministry of Health & Welfare in 1990, and with their
health-conscious and busy lifestyles, the Japanese quickly
became enthusiasts. This newly found way of exercising became
known in Japan as kingyo undo - or 'goldfish exercise' - and its
popularity then spread to the Chinese, who realised the strong
connection with 'chi' energy.
A second generation of Chi Machines was developed for Western
physiques about 5 years ago, as the US market demanded more
robust and sophisticated products. These new products adopted a
heavy-duty DC motor for a smoother ride, a longer life and the
capacity for better control, based on adjusting the speed of
oscillation.

| The Surge of Chi Exerciser was launched in Britain in late
2002, based on a tried and tested model that had become the top
selling model in the US, with electronic programming that allows
the user to adjust running speed during use, and converted for
use with European voltages. The ability to control speed not
only allows each user to find a speed that resonates with their
own body, but opens up use to a much larger audience - including
many with conditions that would prevent them using the high
fixed speeds of first-generation products, yet who have
benefited greatly from receiving the stimulating and relaxing
exercise provided by regular use. |
