My biggest claim to fame, as I never get tired of telling you, is that I represented my area in the Mini Olympics.
If you have told us this before, I do not remember it.
I loathe gyms. I loathe exercise machines. I loathe sit ups and push up and chin ups and especially squats. But you do you woman. I'll stick to Tai Chi and leisurely walks in the woods. Those keep me sane.
Me too
Youth is wasted on the young!:)
Tai Chi is for wimps and old people:) Way too slow! Plus, you have a bad memory.
It's dancing! It's peaceful and I feel very content! Like I'm gliding through life! I feel my energy expanding and contracting and downright flying around me! My balance has improved tremendously and, as easy as it looks, I am much much stronger in every part of my body than I was less than two years ago. It exercises every single muscle and joint and organ and molecule of the body! None of this grunting and moaning and focussing on this or that muscle group. No counting! I hate counting. No injuries! I especially hate injuries.
I took all sorts of exercise classes for years. I had to drag myself to them. I did enjoy swimming, but that took way too large a part of my day to squeeze in.
What's this about a bad memory? It is very difficult to remember Tai Chi sequences, which I am just starting to be able to do. So Tai Chi is excellent for memory. Oh wait I get it - I don't remember your telling us about the mini Olympics.
Tai Chi is for champions.
I don't grunt, groan, count, concentrate on one muscle group or sustain injury. I jump, run and climb, But I was only kidding you. Tai Chi is fantastic if only I could get to grips with it. I did it for a year but couldn't get any of the moves right so I left, a failure! Same with aerobics and dancing, both of which I hated.
I was on a swimming team once upon a time, but these days I worry about people urinating in the pool:)
I worry about the chemicals in the pools, and have pretty much stopped swimming, except for dips in natural waters.
I do not jump, run, skip or hop! Nothing high impact for me. I will do short climbs up hills, very short.
After a year and half of Tai Chi, I have finally started to be able to remember the forms, after much work on three seconds at a time. Slow going, yes, but very enjoyable once I get them.
