The pace of life is accelerating, and many friends over 60 are eager to find a health exercise method that suits their own conditions, so Tai Chi has become an ideal choice. Its movements are gentle, the rhythm is relaxed, coherent and orderly, which not only enhances physical fitness, but also cultivates sentiment. Below, I will introduce the relevant precautions for the elderly to practice Tai Chi.

Lots of benefits

Tai Chi has many benefits for older people. It enhances the body's balance ability and reduces the risk of falling. Moreover, many elderly people walk more steadily after practicing. Not only that, Tai Chi can also help improve breathing and strengthen heart and lung function. Many elderly people no longer feel so difficult when climbing stairs after practicing for a period of time. Moreover, long-term practice of Tai Chi can improve the quality of sleep, make the elderly sleep more soundly, and have more energy the next day.

Searching for the venue

If you want to find a place to practice Tai Chi, you can go to the community to ask first. Many communities will organize activities for the elderly, and may find Tai Chi practice groups. The park is also a good place to go. In the early morning or evening, you can often see some elderly people practicing Tai Chi there, and you can practice with them. In addition, you can also check out the nearby fitness center or senior activity center, and you may find relevant courses and practice venues.

Course selection

There are many Tai Chi courses for the elderly on the market. When choosing, pay attention to whether the coach has rich teaching experience and whether he understands the physical conditions of the elderly. The course content should not be too complicated and should be progressive step by step. Uncle Li chose a course that was more difficult, but it was difficult to continue in the end. Afterwards, he turned to a moderately difficult course and now practiced very positively.

Travel with friends

I am really happy to practice Tai Chi with my friends. Everyone encouraged each other Tai Chi Classes Online to share their experiences. It’s fun to chat before practicing boxing and remind each other when practicing boxing. You can ask the community to help find friends who practice boxing, or chat with elderly people who practice Tai Chi in the park, and you will soon meet a joint boxing partner.

Pay attention to the key points

The elderly who practice Tai Chi should be moderate and should not challenge difficult movements from the beginning to avoid overloading the exercise volume. If you feel unwell during exercise, you should stop immediately. Before starting boxing, you should first move each joint to reduce the risk of injury. Grandma Zhao sprained her waist while practicing Tai Chi because she ignored the warm-up. She rested for a long time before she recovered, so these details cannot be ignored.
