TAI CHI IS COMING HERE
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 3 individuals age 65 or older will fall in any given year. Such an event
can not only cause serious injury, but can also impact one’s mobility and independence. Research has shown that low-impact exercises that include controlled motion can aid in balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility. Tai Chi is a form of exercise that
includes these elements.
The Genesee County Office for the Aging, in cooperation
with GLOW YMCA, will be offering Tai Chi- Moving for Better
Balance classes once each week in the lounge, beginning in January 2015. Classes will be led by trained YMCA instructors. Classes can be tailored to the mobility level of participants and can be
performed either standing or seated.
A demonstration of Tai Chi-Moving for Better Balance will
take place before classes start. This will give you an opportunity
to see what Tai Chi is, and to ask instructors any questions.
The classes will be a great opportunity to try a different
form of exercise, socialize with friends, and gain benefits from
improved balance and strength.
