Tai Chi for the elderly in Yeovil

A STUDY has found that practicing the ancient martial art of Tai Chi can boost elderly people's hearts.

Older people who regularly performed the traditional Chinese mind-body exercise now enjoyed worldwide were less likely to suffer high blood pressure and were physically stronger.

Additional analysis showed that the Tai Chi subjects had greater average muscle strength especially knee muscle strength than their healthy counterparts.

The good news is that no previous experience is necessary and you don’t have to be fit to start.
