Tai Chi Ball Strength Training in Chen Style
Weighted-ball training in tai chi forms is one of the most effective ways to improve your balance, endurance, bone density and core strength. It can help build and maintain muscle mass and strength. Strong muscles lead to strong bones, and strong bones can help minimize the risk of fracture due to osteoporosis. It can also protect vitality, make everyday tasks more manageable, and help you maintain a healthy weight.
Harvard Health Publications remarks that “a combination of age-related changes, inactivity, and inadequate nutrition conspire to gradually steal bone mass, at the rate of 1% per year after age 40.” As bones grow more fragile and susceptible to fracture, they are more likely to break after even a minor fall or far less obvious stress, such as bending over to tie a shoelace. Six out of 10 people who break a hip never fully regain their former level of independence. Even walking across a room without help may become impossible. Numerous studies have shown that strength training can play a role in slowing bone loss, and several show it can even build bone. This is tremendously useful to help offset age-related declines in bone mass. Practicing tai chi with a weighted ball puts healthy stress (tugging and pushing) on bones and can nudge bone-forming cells into action. The result is stronger and denser bones.
