Tai Chi Fit for Women - Tai Chi Class Specifically for Women.

When you look at the balance of fitness routines recommended for health and longevity, it turns out that most of them were designed for men. They fit men's personalities, muscle structure, and physique. Fitness programmes for women have often just been watered-down men's workouts. But women have different needs when it comes to health and fitness. In this programme, David-Dorian Ross guides you through a Tai Chi workout designed especially for women.

Women, more than men, need a workout that both strengthens the bones and calms the immune system. Women are far more susceptible to autoimmune diseases than men, including:

  • Multiple sclerosis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis
  • Osteoporosis, or thinning bones, which affects your hormones

This short Tai Chi routine can be a perfect daily workout for women. It promotes balance, coordination, and strength, supports the immune system, and raises your spirit. The best news is that there is nothing to "learn" in this programme. You won't have to memorise a complicated routine or keep working to perfect any movement. Just follow us for fun, and you'll experience the healing benefits of Tai Chi.
