Suffering from arthritis, depression, back problems, obesity? Or recovering from an injury or simply stiff from ageing and haven’t touched your toes in ages?
Tai chi, an ancient martial art, reputedly created by a Taoist monk, could be the answer!
Claims Tai chi is a slow and deliberate set of flowing movements that provide moderate aerobic and low-impact exercise. It’s great for those who dislike traditional exercise. The benefits include sleeping better, having a healthier immune and circulatory system, stress control, increased mobility and gentle toning of your muscles and joints.
The Good - It’s an excellent gentle exercise and works out your body and soul. Many breast-cancer survivors find it a great way to boost their lymphatic system. Bad back? It’s fantastic for mobilising and strengthening the spine.
The Bad - For the first four months you’ll be focused on learning the sequence of 108 movements, so it’s a long-term health investment rather than an instant fix.
Essentials Wear flat-soled shoes and loose, comfortable clothing such as track pants.
Tai Chi is for all ages ......
