Tai Chi 5 minute workout midday Break

*Spinal Twists warmup - Why?

*Side Reeling with drills

 - - - Hi everyone,

Here's something I want to encourage you to do this week: Put your Tai Chi practice on your calendar.




It doesn't have to be an hour.


-- go here to joing our newsletter: http://www.everydaytaichi.net

It doesn't even have to be 30 minutes.

Start with 5–10 minutes.

Three times a week is a great place to start.

In my latest Everyday Tai Chi video, I demonstrate some simple exercises involving weight shifting, side reeling, hip rotation, stepping, balance, and coordinated hand movements

These movements may look simple—but that's the point.

The more often you practice them, the more familiar they become to your body and nervous system.

You're practicing how to:

Shift your weight Stabilize your legs Move from the hips Coordinate your hands and feet Maintain balance Control your movement

And you don't need a special place or special clothing.

5–10 minutes in the morning.

 5–10 minutes after work.

Or 5–10 minutes before dinner.

Pick a time that works for you and make it part of your routine. Don't wait until you "have time."

Schedule the time—and then use it.

And remember:

A little practice done consistently beats a lot of practice done occasionally.

See you in the next workout,

Dr. Scott

AND YES. . . .

Small actions repeated daily create extraordinary results.

*Motion is lotion. Keep moving.

*Consistency beats intensity!
