Health and Fitness

When it comes to baby boomers and seniors there is no better exercise in the world than Tai Chi. You will maximize your energy, balance, stability while reducing stress and stimulating the healing of internal organs. Tai Chi challenges your brain to build new sensory patterns that promote health and reduce stiffness and muscular weakness, and also helps to improve balance, which will reduce the risk of falling.

Tai Chi is a graceful form of exercise which looks like Karate in slow motion. The gentle choreography rotates the body in 95% of the ways it was intended to move. The best balancing exercise known, Tai Chi also lubricates joints so it's great for seniors. It improves coordination, mental focus, and flexibility so it's great for athletes. Research shows it is also very beneficial for children.

Note: Many fitness programs are not regulated by the state or federal government. For this reason Master Henry Cheng wrote and published “Choosing a Tai Chi Teacher” to help people understand the importance of finding a professional well educated teacher or master.
