Tai Chi,Aerobic

Hello Chiropractor

In the field of Aerobic. I was reading about it on
http://www.medical-health-care-information.com. Tai chi chuan has many
distinct advantages over other types ofexercise. The biggest
shortcoming of most systems of physical fitness is that they service
only part of the body. They concentrate on certain muscles or muscle
groups, while neglecting others entirely.For example, isometric
exercises tense one set of muscles against another set or an immovable
object. Because this is a one-dimensional
Exercise, the benefits are minimal.

Another problem with isometrics is there is really no way to measure
the correct amount of exercise. Unlike calisthenics or weightlifting,
you cannot simply increase the number of repetitions and expect
results. Recent evidence has also found that isometric exercises render
joints more vulnerable to injuries. Calisthenics produce a wide range
of motion and give the muscles more staying power than isometrics.
Unfortunately, calisthenics also concentrate on only individual muscles
and thus have little benefit on overall health. This is also true with
weightlifting.Tai chi, on the other hand, brings into play every part
of the body and benefits all bodily parts, not just the musculoskeletal
system.

Other Benefits of Tai Chi

Scientific research conducted at the Medical Academy of Shanghai, the
Tangshan Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital in New York City has
shown that tai chi chuan stimulates the central nervous system, lowers
blood pressure, relieves stress and gently tones muscles without
strain. It also enhances digestion, elimination of wastes and the
circulation of blood. Moreover, tai chi's rhythmic movements massage
the internal organs and improve their functionality. Perhaps tai chi's
greatest attribute, however, is the fact it channels the flow of chi
(intrinsic energy) through the body's meridians.According to
traditional Chinese medicine, as long as this flow is uninhibited, a
person will remain healthy. If the flow of chi becomes obstructed or
unbalanced, illness will result. The correct practice of Tai chi chuan
guides the individual's chi through the meridians and restores its
balance throughout the body. None of the aforementioned exercises
offers any of these benefits.
