Magic Marmalade
7th Jan 2016
 I had learned the complete sequence of movements of both short and long forms of Tai Chi from this, a few years back now, but like most things, you fall out of the habit after a while.

Certainly works in improving your well being , but takes a while to do...

And actually, I find the greatest thing I took from this was the warm up exercises, which are magic.

This is nothing more than rolling the head (gently, with no strain), a few times clockwise, then a few counter clockwise, slow windmills of each arm; then gentle rotations clockwise and counter of the wrists, then the ankles. Then clench fists and hold- make fists with your toes (One for the Die Hard fans out there!), then stretch the hands and fingers, then the toes out the opposite way. Finally, let the arms loose, and shake freely and gently, and then (if you can... I keep falling over), gently shake each leg out loosely.

Five minutes of this gets the blood going back through the body, and crucially, head, a treat... and I promise you, it makes me feel instantly fully awake, alert, and well.

Usually takes me five cups of thick coffee to feel half as good.
