Question

It is great to find a site like yours where I can learn tai chi at home and at a time that suits me. My problem is that I am over weight. Will tai chi help me loose weight?

Anya, Germany

Yes, Tai Chi can help you loose weight as it burns up energy. When we practice tai chi we are exercising internally as well as externally.

Many of my students have told me that they have indeed lost weight since they started training. Obviously we should all watch our calorie intake, but some people are extremely lucky and it seems that no matter what they eat they just do not put on any weight at all. Whether it is through the practice of tai chi and the other Chinese arts that I do, or whether it is that I am one of those fortunate people, I do not seem to put on weight.

Please keep on training as I am sure it will help and any help I can give you I will. Just remember we are just an email away and here at Tai Chi Online we have and are already negotiating with some of the worlds top internal and external martial arts instructors to bring their knowledge and expertise to our and your web site.

Best regards and all the luck in the future.

I'd like to confirm you can loose weight while practicing Tai Chi. Having done Tai Chi for almost two years, it has made me think about how my body works and performs. I also noticed that by eating or not eating different foods by body reacts differently. So i sat down and thought about my diet, and have changed my eating habits, so I eat more sensibly too.
I can't tell you how much weight I've lost in lbs or kilos, but in inches, it is 6, my clothes are getting too big for me, and I am now begining to buy smaller sizes, so Tai Chi and a sensible diet can help shed the excess weight, and make you fitter. Good luck to Anya in her endeavours, I hope she reaches her goals.
