I have heard about how great Tai Chi is as an exercise, and I have to admit....I didn't "get it" when I tried it.
I could understand Tai Chi as a mental conditioning tool, much like meditation or other relaxation exercise, because I was constantly having to tell myself to "pay attention" as my mind wandered. I assume many beginners have this same boredom problem with Tai Chi, just as someone who was bored with yoga after thinking that typical exercise means sweating it out on a treadmill for 45 minutes.
Can you explain how Tai Chi helps physically improve your body, for those of us who don't "get it"?!
