“I really enjoyed reading the health benefits of tai chi and using my overall understanding from this class to analyze how it could help me now and in the future.
Tai chi benefits vs my experience with Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Breakdancing which all include Power and speed together with steady movements and stretching. All have warmup routines, Tae Kwon Do breathing techniques include a similar to Tai chi style gentle breathing where Tae Kwon has gentle breathing with no movements involved called meditation with the main focus on clearing the mind of all doubt and stress. Tae Kwon Do also focuses on short burst breathing combined with the striking techniques in order to flex the bodies muscles in order to help defend against incoming strike impacts. Some aerobic benefits with Tai chi whereas Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Breakdancing all have lots of aerobic and anaerobic practices.

Another topic that stuck with me was from Training for Aerobic and Anaerobic fitness reading.
It really opened my eyes to how benefitable it is compared to what I thought.
My thoughts now are that everyone should promote daily routines since the benefits are so high in comparison to doing nothing. Under the improved Aerobic fitness section, it really gives you a clear picture of benefits related to Physiological, Functional and Health represented as Increase or decrease.
I don’t think I’ll ever wrap my head around the fact that old age also brings the want for water down, crazy!.”

For this student’s response, I have attached the two articles. Here is the website to get a better understanding of what the student is talking about for Tai Chi (https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-health-benefits-of-tai-chi). Also, I have attached the article Training for Aerobic and Anaerobic fitness reading below that the student talks about as well.
