Muscle Strength - Tai chi strengthens both the lower and
upper extremities and also the core muscles of the back and abdomen. It has
proven to improve daily activities and strengthen postural muscles which will
influence correct posture.
Flexibility - Staying flexible is great for healthy
joints, muscles and bones. Studies have shown that Tai Chi can significantly
boosted upper- and lower-body flexibility as well as strengthen joints.
Balance - Tai chi improves balance and has shown to
reduce the risk of falls. Tai chi helps train the body’s sense, which makes it
easier to recover from a stumble. Fear of falling can make you more likely to
fall; some studies have found that tai chi training also helps to reduce that
fear.
Aerobic conditioning - Depending on the speed and size of
the movements, tai chi can provide some aerobic benefits. It is a great low
impact alternative to traditional cardio workouts such as running or aerobic
classes which can be damaging to bones and joints.
