Originally developed in China as an internal Chinese martial art,
tai chi is a graceful form of exercise that has existed for some
2,000 years. Practiced regularly, tai chi can help you reduce stress
and enjoy other health benefits.
Tai Chi is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical
exercise and stretching. To do Tai Chi, you perform a series of
postures or movements in a slow, graceful manner. Each posture flows
into the next without pausing.
Tai Chi may help your overall health, although it's not a substitute
for traditional medical care. Tai chi is generally safe for people
of all ages and levels of fitness. Older adults may especially find
tai chi appealing because the movements are low impact and put
minimal stress on muscles and joints.
