Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a gentle form of exercise, originating in China, but now practiced throughout the world.
In Tai Chi, movements are practiced slowly and fluidly to benefit the whole body and mind. Including: the cardiovascular system; flexibility; balance; joint function; muscular and bone strength, and relaxation of the mind.
It is different from other exercise, in that it includes exercises to relax and concentrate the mind, as well as deep and relaxed breathing and a wide range of movement.
Learners may do Tai Chi for the health and fitness benefits only, but have the option of extending their learning to the Martial Art aspect of Tai Chi.
The Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, has said adults should exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week.
Regular practice of Tai Chi is a way of meeting exercise requirements. It also works well as a complement to other forms of exercise.
