When you walk in a Chinese city early in the morning you're likely to see groups of people exercising in the park. You'll see them moving through a series o slow graceful movements. As their bodies flow from one exercise to the next, their minds are focused only on their deep，relaxed breathing.

Tai chi is part of national cultural heritage(遗产)which Chinese people take bride in. This ancient mind -body exercise is known as tai chi, and you don't have to live in China to benefit from it. According to a survey in 2007, more than 2 million Americans are currently practicing tai chi.

Tai chi is called a mind-body type of exercise because it combines meditation, focused breathing and physical movement. Because it's also a low-impact(低强度的)exercise may be particularly suitable for older adults, but it's a beneficial exercise for people of all ages.

Tai chi developed in China as a type of martial art. Today tai chi is used to develop fitness meditation, balance breathing, and well-being.

If tai chi is something you might like to try, look for a tai chi class near you. Keep in mind that training programs are different in many ways. You might want to ask around for a recommendation or try a class before you sign up. Ask potential tai chi instructors about their training and experience.

Tai chi is generally considered a low-risk exercise that is both safe and enjoyable. If you have any physical or medical problems, talk with your health care provider before starting any exercise program. And remember, although tai chi has many benefits, it can't take the place of regular medical care.
