Tai Chi is an exercise program, really different from others because it provides all the advantages compared to other exercise programs. Other programs provide stimulation only for the musculoskeletal system. When you perform isometric training, you apply force to a stationary object, therefore, using only the set of muscles in the body.

It is not just a series of movements but also involves the use of meditation and deep breathing, which makes it especially useful for reducing stress and anxiety. People who regularly practice reported a better sense of well-being because of its calming and meditative aspects. Thanks to the nature of the movements, Tai Chi also benefits the whole body, increasing muscle strength and improving balance and flexibility. Many doctors prescribe Tai Chi as an additional form of therapy, especially for those who have arthritis, blood circulation problems, high blood pressure, and stress.
