Brooke Burke, 52, says QIGONG has helped her stay slim and fit: ‘It inspires and resets energy!’

Brooke Burke has a new workout obsession to keep her bikini body in tip-top shape: Qigong.

Qigong is a system of coordinated posture and movement, breathing and meditation that is said to be useful for the purposes of health, spirituality and martial arts training.

“I’ve been doing Qigong recently,” Brooke told DailyMail.com exclusively while on a retreat in Costa Rica with some of her friends. She was spotted in a bikini on Sunday while in the ocean with her friends.

‘We just added a new carousel at Broke Burke Body called MINDFULNESS with meditations, breathwork, new yoga and Qigong.

“It’s everything that’s meant to inspire an energy reset.” I share my original daily affirmation meditations on YouTube.”

And she talked about her prospects for 2024.

“I never wait for January 1 to break bad habits or start new practices. This year is all about intentional wellness. I will meditate daily,” the mother of four added.

‘I’m working with my son through 365 new words. We will share our daily word and add it to our vocabulary. I will read every day. 1 book per month.

‘I get up 30 minutes earlier every day to create valuable me-time. I go green every Monday.

‘I use a meditation guided by my voice so that I can relax. It’s all about body, mind and spirit together,” she shared.

“Through daily meditation, we will retrain our brains and develop new habits to change our perspective and achieve and complete our wellness goals,” she added.

‘I guide followers through training and mindfulness exercises designed to strengthen not only your self-confidence, but also your mental resilience.’

And she also said that feeling good has a lot to do with “community, connection and awareness.”

‘Meditation helps reduce stress, control anxiety and improve sleep. It helps extend attention span, reduce age-related memory loss and promote emotional health. It can even help manage pain, lower blood pressure and support recovery. Most importantly, meditation promotes kindness,” says Brooke.

“And the world can always use more kindness!”

According to Psychology Today, meditation is a mental exercise that trains attention and awareness. Its purpose is often to curb the response to one’s negative thoughts and feelings, which, while they can be disturbing and disturbing and can hijack one’s attention from moment to moment, are always fleeting.’

The site also shared that there are many benefits: ‘It is impossible for us to make our thoughts disappear; Often, the more we try to suppress them, the louder they become. But practicing meditation can help clear the mind’s chatter. Studies show that meditating for even 10 minutes increases the brain’s alpha waves (associated with relaxation) and reduces anxiety and depression.”

Last week, Burke took to Instagram to get candid and vulnerable about aging and her secret to great hair and feeling confident after 50.

In December, Brooke spoke to DailyMail.com about getting enough rest. “You have to sleep at least eight hours a night,” Maxim’s cover girl said.

‘You can get by on less, for example seven hours is fine, but eight hours is better because sleep allows your body to repair itself.’

She also noted that eight hours of sleep is bliss. “It’s basic and makes you look young,” she said. According to the Center for Disease Control and PreventionEight hours a night is a good sleep goal, adding that good sleep quality is also essential. The site shared that it is vital not to be constantly woken up by noise such as snoring.

This comes after the star spoke to DailyMail.com about dieting to help her quit 21 Day Fitness Challenge.

She discussed the joys of intermittent fasting, which is becoming increasingly popular. It means eating in an eight-hour window and then not eating for the remaining 16 hours a day.

“It’s a simple but powerful concept: limit eating to an eight-hour window and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day,” Brooke told DailyMail.com.

“For example, if you eat at 7 p.m., your next meal will be at 11 a.m. the next morning,” she explained.

‘This timing cycle essentially causes your body to burn stored fat.

‘During a ‘fasting state’ – the hours when your body is not consuming or digesting food – your body has no recently consumed meal to use as energy, so it draws energy from the fat stored in your body.

‘Intermittent fasting trains your body to consume food more efficiently and burn fat for fuel.

‘Fasting can make you hungry or tired, but bridging the time with your normal sleep cycle makes it much easier to embrace it.

“Maybe the reason we so easily enable change for others, but not for ourselves, is because we view self-care as optional. That’s where we need to change our mindset.

In just three weeks, she said anyone can replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones.

‘We can reshape our bodies and reconnect with our authentic selves. We can integrate fitness into our daily routine and discover the power of nutritious (and delicious) food. And we can embrace mindful meditation that will help us stay centered and focused.

‘Give yourself three weeks and experience the magic of meditation and mindfulness. The new 21 Day Fitness Challenge is the ideal program to achieve your summer health and wellness goals, focusing on both fitness and mindfulness. It’s about new beginnings and letting go of old patterns.’

“I’ve already done white,” the fitness expert shared with DailyMail.com.
