Me ... 8-section brocade ... this morning ... to loosen up a stiff back and, erm, get things moving. Funny you should ask today, it was the 1st time I'd done any breathing exercises this month.

8 Brocade Silk, Zhang Zhuang, Silk reeling and a bit of movement practice.
Incorporating correct breathing is must for us.
BTW, I think this might be moved to the Health forum soon.

And for me the morning slot is the most convenient.
Cheers.

I'm no chi gung expert ... most info I have comes from reading, a little from class.
8 Section Brocade was recommended to me as a sort of "warmup before warmups" as it starts the blood moving and gets the breath deeper, also helps coordinate body movements in general. I also practice it before kung fu class in the evenings.
I've read that a morning chi kung should incorporate movement with breathing (rather than sitting meditation or standing post). i.e., tai chi form - which slowly increases blood circulation after a night's sleep. And that a more energetic chi kung should be practiced after the hottest part of midday (1:30-3:00) - when the chi is fully expanded? something like that.
But most people only have time for morning/evening practice so a full day's exercise schedule wouldn't work for them.
