Doing tai chi while sitting helps older adults get the health and wellness benefits of tai chi without the fall risk. Seated tai chi is also a great exercise option for frail seniors or those with limited mobility.
Tai chi is a gentle exercise that improves balance and reduces fall risk. It consists of making slow, graceful movements while breathing deeply. It’s relatively easy to follow because the movements are done so slowly.
Studies find that tai chi also improves flexibility, immune system, sleep, happiness, sense of self-worth, strength, cardiovascular endurance, concentration, and more.
We found 3 excellent and free video routines of seated tai chi for seniors that are perfect for beginners. Plus, all that’s needed is a sturdy chair, so it’s easy to do these routines in the comfort and convenience of home.
Go slow and adapt to avoid injuries
Staying safe while exercising is the number one priority. When trying new exercises or movements, it’s wise to go slow and not push to a point of discomfort.
Some people have arthritis, knee issues, or other physical conditions that limit range of motion. Be flexible and feel free to modify the exercises to suit your older adult. Over time, their body will get used to the movements and their abilities or flexibility may improve.
