The battle to remain flexible and strong in the face of advancing age isn't just an issue for seniors. In this day and age of the couch potato, it's an issue for younger people as well.
Tai Chi is an ancient exercise that is suitable for practice by people of all ages. Tai Chi consists of prescribed movements that are practiced as a routine. The movements are composed of gentle, arcing turns and twists that originate in the lower torso. Every part of the body is getting exercised. The precise attention to every motion promotes a type of meditative concentration that can result in improved health of both mind and body.
A hallmark of the exercise is that the movements are done extremely slowly, with one posture flowing into the next. Although it can be quite a workout, it is at the same time relaxing and invigorating. Learn an exercise that's fun to do – while gaining flexibility, improving your balance, and reducing the stress in your life!
