I think Tai Chi is a very good exercise choice for the elderly. Its movements are relatively gentle, which helps to strengthen physical fitness and balance the body and mind. Especially simple Tai Chi, which is very suitable for daily exercise for the elderly.
Tai Chi has many charms
The art of Tai Chi is indeed very charming. It has many physical benefits for us elderly people. For example, practicing Tai Chi can move joints, and many elderly people become less flexible in their joint movements as they age. By practicing Tai Chi, the joints gradually become flexible. Moreover, it can also help regulate breathing, and breathe smoothly and feel more comfortable in the body. The emotions will become better as a result, and the worries and sorrows in the heart will slowly disappear.
If you ask the elders who practice Tai Chi around you, they will say that after practicing Tai Chi, they feel that their mental state has improved significantly. Many people used to bend over and hunch their backs, but after a period of Tai Chi exercise, their waists became straight and their backs were no longer so bent. Moreover, the sleep quality of those elderly people who often suffer from insomnia has also improved significantly after practicing Tai Chi. In short, Tai Chi is as precious as a treasure for the elderly.
Easy to learn
The movements of simple Tai Chi are not complicated, we can take it slowly and understand them step by step. First of all, you have to start with the starting momentum, just like we usually do , slowly lift your hands up, pay attention to maintaining balance in your body, and keeping the center of gravity stable, and then slowly lift your arms, lower them, and then lift them up. Remember not to rush to use too much force, as that is wrong, and move more gently. If you can't stand firm at the beginning, you can practice by holding your things and then try to let go of your hands when you become more proficient.
The mane splitting of left and right wild horses seems complicated, but in fact they only require movements on both sides. Hands and feet should cooperate with each other, feet should take appropriate steps, arms should be stretched like a horse, and the center of gravity of the body should also move left and right accordingly. After many practices, you can gradually master it. If you do something wrong at the beginning, don’t be discouraged. Keep practicing and you will be able to do it well in the end. When practicing, you might as well imagine yourself in the grassland, running with the horse, relaxing your mind and enjoying the process. Practicing with others is also beneficial. You can also communicate and improve when you see each other where something is wrong.
Exercise time pick
It is quite particular about choosing the right exercise moment. You can choose it in the early morning, when the air is particularly fresh. Take a deep breath and you will feel refreshed immediately. In the early morning, the outdoors are quiet and there is almost no noise. It feels very comfortable to practice Tai Chi leisurely at this time. There are few people in the morning and the choice of venues is relatively free. However, the temperature is low in the morning, so it is best to wear warm clothing before exercising to prevent cold.
It is quite pleasant in the evening. After a busy day, after eating, you can digest it and go to the square or park to practice Tai Chi. The afterglow of the sunset shines on your body, warm and comfortable. Everyone gathers in the sunset to practice Tai Chi and can chat with homes. But there may be a lot of bugs in the evening, so remember to wear long clothes. In short, decide when to go based on your free time and comfort.
The venue must be chosen
Choosing a venue is crucial to practicing Tai Chi. You have to find a flat and open area, such as the grass in the park, which is both soft and spacious, and you can wave your hands and feet at will. The park is covered with green trees, overgrown flowers and plants, the air is fresh and the environment is beautiful. As Tai Chi Lessons is practiced, the mood seems to be flying with it. There are no obstacles in the site, and even if you fall accidentally, you will not easily get hurt. Therefore, it is not advisable to go to places covered with stones and branches.
Some parts of the square are really good, and the ground is very flat. When people get there, they get lively, and everyone is more motivated by practicing hard. If there is a vacant land in the home, that's not bad, but the space at home is limited and you can't perform big moves, you may feel a little depressed. Therefore, if you can go outdoors, try to exercise as much as possible. After all, the venue is spacious and you can make many friends.
Persist in daily practice
Tai Chi needs to be practiced persistently to show results. If you integrate it into daily life, if you don’t practice one day, you will always feel that something is missing. Only by persisting every day can the body gradually adapt to its rhythm, the muscles can remain tight , and the joints will become more flexible. If the practice is intermittent, the effect will naturally not be significant. When practicing at first, you may feel a little tired and uncomfortable everywhere. This is normal. As long as you persist, everything will get better.
While continuing to exercise, I have made many like-minded friends. While we practice, we share the details of life. When encountering difficulties, everyone will help each other and make suggestions. We gathered together to practice Tai Chi, like a small team, full of warmth. For those elderly people who are difficult to persist, once they start practicing Tai Chi, their will will become stronger.
