Course Introduction
The sedentary lifestyle has devastating consequences to our health. According to a recent World Health Organization report, up to five million deaths a year can be averted if the global population was physically more active. People who are insufficiently active have a 20% to 30% increased risk of death compared to people who are sufficiently active. There is compelling research evidence that Tai Chi significantly reduces the risk for sedentary lifestyle-related mortality and morbidity; and improves mental and physical health and the quality of life.
Based on compelling research evidence and guided by exercise prescription principles and safety guidelines, ©the Tai Chi for Healthy Body Healthy Mind Program is designed to effectively increase muscle strength and endurance; reduce body weight and achieve energy balance; improve mobility, flexibility, coordination and dynamic balance; reduce stress, anxiety and depression; achieve mental and physical relaxation; and improve overall health, fitness and the quality of life for the general population.
