Grasp a fist in and glare to increase strength

1: Next, shift the weight to the right with the left leg opening to the left, and the legs slowly squatting and bending into a horse stance. At the same time, clench the two fists tightly and hold at the waist level, with the opening of the fist facing upward and the eyes staring ahead. The left fist pushes forward at shoulder height, moving slowly but powerfully, with the fist eye up. Gaze fiercely in the direction of left fist.

2: The left arm rotates internally, the left fist opens to be palm up, and the part where the thumb connects with the index finger faces downward. Eyes stare at the left fist. The left arm rotates externally, the elbow bends slightly, the left palm crosses the left with palm facing upward, and then closes. Keep staring at the left fist.

3: Bend the elbow, take back the left fist to the waist side with fist eye facing upward, and eyes staring ahead.

4 to 6: The movements are the same as 1 to 3 but in opposite directions. One left and one right movement count as one, repeating three times in total. Shift the weight to the right, and let the left foot return to the center and stand with feet together. At the same time, release the two fists, naturally letting them hang down at the sides of the body, with eyes straight.

[Principles and Effects] Glaring with open eyes can stimulate the liver meridian, with the effects of making liver blood abundant, soothing the liver qi, and strengthening the bones and sinews. Other movements such as squatting with a ten-toe grip, practicing with the fists, twisting the wrists,  and holding the fingers one by one can stimulate the back-shu points  of all twelve meridians (three yin and yang meridians of the hand and foot) and the du mai. Long-term exercise increases the stamina of the whole body and our strength.
