Exercise is good for the mind and the body and is especially popular with baby boomers finding they need more meaning in their lives. Recent studies indicate that Tai Chi can improve physical health - it tones muscles, increases balance and flexibility, combats fatigue and improves circulation. It is particularly helpful for people who are unable to perform more vigorous activities because of age, illness or disabilities.
This book provides readers with insight into the 5000 year old practice of Tai Chi, explaining the mental and physical benefits that readers can enjoy through the practice of Tai Chi fitness routines. Filled with illustrations and step by step instructions on the 24 movements in Tai Chi, this book covers the 5 families of Tai Chi, as well as Qigong and Pushing Hands.
