We have added Tai Chi to our list of group personal training programs.
We welcome Cindy Swiech to our 3 To Be Fit Family! She is our new Tai Chi instructor. She is certified in Tai Chi from the Functional Aging Institute (FAI), a Senior Fitness Specialist through the American Council on Exercise (ACE), has a Precision Nutrition Level 1, Certificate in Exercise Nutrition, and is a Certified Personal Trainer through ACE. Below is information from our instructor Cindy about the Tai Chi program.
A little history about Tai Chi is it is a martial art that dates back to the 5th century, when a Buddhist monk observed that Shaolin priests were neglecting their bodies by doing too much fasting and mediation. He taught them to strengthen their bodies using some simple moves. Fast forward centuries later, Chen Wangting developed a fighting style based on observing Shaolin. In the early 1800s, Yang Lu-chan learned this fighting style and bettered the art. He is known as the father of the Yang style of Tai Chi.
Physical benefits of Tai Chi include improved aerobic capacity, increased energy and stamina, improved flexibility, balance, agility, improved muscle strength, enhanced sleep quality, enhanced immune function, reduction in blood pressure, reduced join pain, and reduction in risk of falls in older adults.
Mental benefits include decreased stress, anxiety and depression, improved mood and overall well-being, increased mental focus, improvement in working memory and executive function and improvement on social enjoyment and interaction.
We are looking forward to adding Cindy teaching Tai Chi to our group fitness routine!
The goal of this group training program is to practice mindfulness, channel your inner energy, and focus. If we can harness the energy from within us, we can channel positivity from it. From that positive energy comes positive attitudes and persona. This can in turn help you that can also be used to help others around you.
