More than
healthy
Qigong & tai chi will make you healthy
providing you practice the exercises little and often.
Being healthy is good, but being fit is better.
Fitness
Fitness is different to health. Being fit entails a wider range of concerns e.g. increased
flexibility, suppleness, strength, cardiovascular health/fitness,
agility...
These considerations are addressed at length in the
fitness syllabus.
3 areas
There are 3 areas of fitness:
Cardio
Strength
Flexibility
In order
to exercise the body properly, you need to gain aptitude in all 3 areas.
Many people can lift heavy weights but they are not flexible/breathing hard
after mild cardio
Qigong & tai chi students
Qigong & tai chi students seeking a challenge can ask to undertake the
fitness syllabus once they have completed their qigong ticksheet.
