Chinese Tai-Chi exercises may have benefic effects on your health by increasing muscle resistance and self-confidence, according to American researchers. If you wish to maintain your health and strong bones even when you`re over sixty, try to include into your weekly workout a few Tai-Chi sessions. The highest benefit will be the reduction of the risk to suffer injuries or fractures.

Researchers compared the results from two groups of people with ages over seventy years old: one group that had for three months Tai-Chi exercises three times per week, and another group that didn`t followed a Tai-Chi workout at all. The experts concluded that the participants who had Tai-Chi exercises showed a remarkable increase of knees resistance, muscle strength, mobility, flexibility, and body balance.

Tai-Chi promotes a balanced lifestyle, is based on breath techniques, and you may keep your lungs healthy, especially if you have a stressful life or you`re a smoker.

Tai-Chi may also reduce the risk to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. This type of workout may be also efficient in case of people who cannot concentrate enough, or suffer from memory loss.

If you consider yourself an active person, willing to stay healthy and fit until old ages, it`s time to make changes to your lifestyle. One Tai-Chi session per week will make you look and feel great.
