I love this article (link below) which appeared in Natural News. It quotes a three month study by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Participants did Tai Chi classes twice weekly and gained confidence in their everyday tasks and achieved a more active life style. The control group was give health education classes and didn’t see the same benefits.
As well as increases in bone density, lowered blood pressure, and improvements in the immune system Tai Chi has a positive impact on your emotional and psychological state. Some of these benefit are usually only associated with rigorous aerobic exercises.
That’s why I love Tai Chi. If you aren’t into hard, sweaty exercise Tai Chi works for you. If you like a good burn with your exercises you can add that in too – just stand lower. If, like me, you like to vary your routine, Tai Chi works here too. Tai Chi is so adaptable, it fits your time scale, your moods and your needs.
