Senior's Tai Chi Workout is the first complete guide for mature
adults to help them achieve their goals of greater mobility using
Tai Chi exercise. This easy to follow format starts with a detailed
description of each exercise, accompanied by a clear series of
photographs of Master Domingo Colon himself showing each movement
step-by-step.
Master Colon has developed a unique method of teaching Tai Chi so
that each practitioner is able to perform the exercises safely and
efficiently for maximum benefit. Special attention has been given
to the correct alignment of the knees, spine, shoulders and neck,
which are areas of concern for many older adults. His concise
approach combines his training as a physical therapist and his 40
years of Tai Chi experience to help re-establish healthy patterns
of movement to make everyday tasks much easier to accomplish.
There are so many physical and mental benefits to be gained by
learning the exercises in this book, which include: better balance,
increased flexibility, greater blood and lymphatic circulation,
deeper and easier breathing, superior muscle tone, and better
memory, focus and concentration. And the best part is that the
reader will start feeling some of these positive results right away
after just a few practice sessions, because the explanations are
very easy to follow.
This workout guide begins by discussing the principles and
concepts of Tai Chi so that are important considerations.
Then the Meditation Section provides a method to calm and focus
the mind before the more challenging exercises to follow. This
technique emphasizes deep, diaphragmatic breathing, positive
visualization, and physical postures that help to invigorate the
body and mind.
This is followed by a series of Chi Kung (energy and breathing
exercises) that increase general flexibility, circulation and
flexibility in individual areas of your body. Many may choose to
perform these exercises on a daily basis to maintain or improve
their conditioning. The exercises are gentle enough that they may
be done every day.
The next section is a detailed step-by-step description of the Wu
Chi Tai Chi Form. This is the series of beautiful and graceful Tai
Chi flowing exercises usually seen in demonstrations of Tai Chi.
Clear and simple instructions, with accompanying photos, allows
anyone to easily learn these movements and immediately begin to
benefit from them. Extreme attention is given to providing safe
instructions, breathing techniques and all required information
without burdening the student with unnecessary detail.
At the end of the book, there are several sections that act as
additional references about the benefits of the exercises, correct
breathing techniques and advanced meditation and relaxation
exercises. Information is provided to allow all readers to
conveniently communicate with us to have questions answered.
