# TCM-inspired desk exercise targets core in minutes 2026-08-07T17:04:27+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Times Now reports a simple core exercise inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine that can be done at a desk. The move involves sitting upright, engaging the core, and lifting one leg 4-6 inches off the ground while holding the knee bent at 90 degrees. The article claims the exercise stimulates the 'Lower Dantian', the body's energetic centre, and activates stomach, spleen, kidney, and liver meridians. Dr Lily Choi, a TCM acupuncturist, is quoted. Readers are advised to hold the leg until tired, then switch sides. The article includes a disclaimer that the information is not medical advice and recommends consulting a doctor for those with health conditions. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: core workout, desk exercise, office fitness, TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, wellness Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tcm-inspired-desk-exercise-targets-core-in-minutes/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
