I have two dedicated and very active professional personal trainers in my class, both of them rigorously work out their quadriceps and other thigh-related muscles in the morning as part of their normal training schedule. Later in the early afternoon they attend my Tai Chi class and once again their thighs get an intense workout but in the Tai Chi way: from static postures to slow-mindful contraction and release. They both swear from their experiences- comparing days when they follow-up their usual thigh-burning workouts with the hour-long Tai Chi practice and days when they don't follow-up their workouts with Tai Chi - that the Tai Chi movements significantly help in aiding their muscle fatigue recovery time. I think that this is a very new and unique observation as there (to my knowledge) has never been anything written about this beneficial aspect before. So everyone can benefit, even athletes.

Its very interesting Lee. We know that an active recovery from intense exercise is always beneficial. I often encourage clients to be mobile and active during the hours following these intense bouts of training.

These are my thoughts about various aspects of Tai Chi. They may or may not be original and I try to give credit where credit is due. Wee Kee Jin Workshop Series
