The threat to our health by sitting too much has been in the news a lot lately. Almost any health magazine you might pick up these days espouses the call to get up out of our lounge chairs and get moving. The truth of the matter is that sitting too long and inactivity in general impact negatively on our health. So what can we do about it? Obviously the tai chi and qigong exercises taught here can go a long way to reverse the damage caused to our physical bodies caused by inactivity. The problem is that many of us only practice when we go to class or infrequently at home, and hardly at all when we travel (right?). It takes commitment to instill in ourselves a daily practice of at least 30 minutes or more, but this is almost a minimum requirement to forestall the ravages that inactivity wreaks on our bodies. But what if we can't remember the whole White Crane Set? Here's what I say in class every week,"Just practice what you can remember, but do it with your full attention and commitment." Do this every day and you will see amazing results. After all, what is the alternative? Nasmaste
