About Exercise
Regular exercise is essential for optimal health.
Whether you’re young or old, there’s no denying that exercise improves your health and overall wellbeing. But for many of us, exercise has been replaced by TV, Internet, or computer games. Millions of Americans are simply not getting enough exercise to be considered “healthy”.
Adding an hour or two of moderately vigorous exercise to your daily routine can help prevent a variety of serious health problems, including: heart disease. diabetes, depression, and cancer. It also helps you sleep better, reduce stress, control your weight, brighten your mood, strengthen your mental clarity, and improve your libido and sexual function.
There are four parts to a comprehensive exercise program: aerobics, strength training, flexibility training, and balance training. Each of these components has its own unique benefits for your body.

Yoga & Tai Chi
About Yoga
Yoga is an ancient and complex practice, rooted in Indian philosophy. It began as a spiritual practice but has become popular as a way of promoting physical and mental well-being.
Although classical yoga also includes other elements, yoga as practiced in the United States typically emphasizes physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation (dyana).
Yoga and two practices of Chinese origin—tai chi and qi gong—are sometimes called “meditative movement” practices. All three practices include both meditative elements and physical ones.

About Tai Chi
Tai chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. Tai chi originated as an ancient martial art in China. Over the years, it has become more focused on health promotion and rehabilitation.
Tai chi may be beneficial in improving balance and preventing falls in older adults and people with Parkinson’s disease. It is unknown whether tai chi can help reduce falls in people who have had a stroke or people with osteoarthritis or heart failure, however, many elderly people and others with limited physical ability have found it to be beneficial.
