Every morning in parks all over China, you can watch people practicing Tai Chi. They practice in the heat and humidity of summer and the freezing cold of winter. Why such devotion even in inclement weather? The Chinese are convinced that Tai Chi promotes health, calmness, and a sense of well-being. It is said that those who practice Tai Chi regularly will experience “longevity in the springtime of their lives.” Tai Chi is now practiced all over the world as a means of keeping body and mind well and supple.
Participants thoroughly enjoy the benefits and the fun of practicing this slow-motion form of exercise. Studies show that regular practitioners become stronger mentally and physically. They have more energy as well as improved balance. Those who dislike more traditional exercise often love Tai Chi for the camaraderie of fellow students, the sense of calm it brings amid the chaos of normal living, and the good exercise without the sweat. More and more Americans are participating in this wonderful form of exercise.
