Wear and tear?

Anyways, high-intensity exercises can cause damage to the body due to their extra-intensive wear and tear.

You can control and limit the damage, however, by exercising regularly and mildly. If you want to pick up the intensity, do it slowly, increasing the intensity bit by bit.

Not all of a sudden – especially if you are not at all young and haven’t been working out for a long time.

So, that’s wear and tear on the body and that is that. Let’s now see media examples of other things suffering “wear and tear”:

1. We all know that we should exercise more as part of a healthier lifestyle but few people are aware that many forms of exercise can create problems. This is particularly true as we get older when damage to joints and general wear and tear to the body can become a serious problem. There are certain activities though, of which T’ai chi is one, which do not stress the body when exercising.

Unlike other forms of exercise, T’ai chi requires students to practise in the most unhurried, gentle and relaxed way possible in order to gain maximum benefits. The unhurried and effortless movements are practised with calm concentration making practice extremely pleasurable. If the exercise is not comfortable and enjoyable you are probably doing something wrong.

It sounds so simple but in fact one difficulty when teaching T’ai chi is in changing attitudes to exercise and getting people to slow down and take things easy. Alan Baker often says it is his job to teach people to be lazy.
