Tai-chi PRACTICE Can Help Shed Belly Fat 10 Moves To Practice

Tai chi has been described as "meditation in motion."

According to a study, published in the June 2021 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, found that people age 50 and older with central obesity (weight disproportionally packed in their midsection) who practiced tai chi for 12 weeks shrunk their bellies as successfully as those who participated in aerobic exercise and strength training for the same amount of time.

10 Tai chi Moves TO PRACTICE

Ready to start practicing Tai Chi for weight loss benefits? Here are 10 Tai Chi moves that will help achieve your weight loss and belly-fat-related goals.

01 Tai chi walking:

• Start in a bow stance with hands clasped in front or behind you.

• Shift weight forwards onto the front foot into the bow stance, then back onto the rear foot. Turn your front foot slightly outward, at an angle that forms a 'T' with your rear foot.

• Shift weight forward while turning the torso toward the turned-out foot. Bring your rear foot forward to set up for the next bow stance.

• Shift weight forward and turn the torso to be square with the bow stance by the end of the weight shift. Repeat the sequence on the other side.

• Repeat at least 10 sets of left and right, or use this technique as your 20-30 minute walking session outdoors.

• Focus on a smooth shifting of weight without wobbling, especially when shifting forward onto the turned-out foot while turning the torso. This is challenging for most beginners. Also try to keep your center of the mass level, i.e., don't let your body move up and down as you shift weight.

02 Painting The Fence:

• Begin with your feet parallel and just under your hips with your arms by your side.
