The ancient art of Tai Chi uses gentle flowing movements to reduce the stress of today's busy lifestyles and improve health.
I have enjoyed and profited from my first five weeks of Tai Chi. There is a new phase that begins every ten weeks. It will dismiss in the summer and then continue in the fall. In January I can begin all over again. I will continue as long as I am enjoying and profiting from it.
I have been asked by blogging friends to let them know how I feel about Tai Chi. I like it very much and recommend it especially for people my age.
After five weeks I do not know enough to tell you all the benefits of Tai Chi but the Mayo Clinic does. They write that it is good for:
*Reducing anxiety and depression.
*Improving sleep quality.
*Lowering blood pressure.
*Improving cardiovascular fitness in older adults.
*Relieving chronic pain.
*Increasing energy, endurance and agility.
*Improving overall feelings of well being.
I report. You decide.
Thank you for your thoughts on Tai Chi. I will definitely look into it.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I took a "course" in Tai Chi and enjoyed it very much. Might be time to do again. Glad to meet you
