I am a trained senior in methods promoting health and well-being: Tai Chi, Qigong, Chair Exercises for Seniors, Dance Meditation, Massage etc.
I gained diplomas from the French Ministry of Sport to teach Tai Chi and Qigong.
By the way, AMCI means 'Arts Martiaux Chinois Internes' (Chinese Internal Martial Arts)
I trained, taught and have been practising these methods for some 30-plus years.
Having gathered an ebook with videos that became rather too large, I then started my website on which I'm now sharing my expertise which is in fact my passion and very much part of my lifestyle.
Free and Easy Holistic Exercises Programs for Over and Under 50's, 'Benefits to Exercise for Seniors' includes easy Tai Chi, Qigong, Breathing Exercise, Relaxation, Self Massage etc.

Seniors! The greatest Physical Difficulty as We Get Older – and Some Solutions
Reduce Falls by Becoming Balanced Keeping one’s balance is what keeps us sure of taking steps without having to look at the ground to check if our feet are going to make it! Have you noticed? People who are unsure of their balance (their connection to the earth, the ground) always seem to look at the ground as if to check it’s still there… I am joking of course, but there’s some truth in this! Hesitancy and having to see where our feet are landing is a great sign of insecurity conce ing our balance. Why does this happen?

What Makes a Good Exercise for Baby Boomers?
Easy is Right! I am a baby boomer and although I have practised some form of exercise most of my life, I still feel, for example, that training to run faster or for longer periods is not really what my body needs now. I have heard the same from other over 55’s. At this time of life, although not really ‘old’, most of us feel we need to nourish our body and be careful not to waste or scatter our energy. It is not a time of life when we have so much vitality that we don’t know what to do with it, which un-channelled too easily leads to simply wasting it!

Seniors, Why You Should Get Some Exercise!
It’s great for your mind as well as your body One always hears this advice, “Get some exercise into your day!”, from friends, television programs, magazines, the doctor – for example, to walk for 40 minutes every day – but really, why should we exercise, especially if we consider we don’t need to? Well, as a senior who exercises (yes, I do!) I can tell you that if a morning passes and I don’t get my body’s joints rolling and my limbs stretching, with my breath opening a little more than enough to just stay alive, I just don’t feel right.

Seniors, How Can This Exercise Benefit Your Mental Health?
Refresh your mind by chattering like a baby! Constantly bombarded with new and often indigestible information, our brain can easily get into ‘overwork’ mode and we can even regularly notice that we’ve forgotten what we’d just thought important a few minutes before. So, we need to pause, sit down, close our eyes and empty our mind for a moment, if that’s at all possible…

Here is an extract from my first article on self growth:
Reduce Falls by Becoming Balanced
Keeping one’s balance is what keeps us sure of taking steps without having to look at the ground to check if our feet are going to make it!
Have you noticed? People who are unsure of their balance (their connection to the earth, the ground) always seem to look at the ground as if to check it’s still there…
I am joking of course, but there’s some truth in this!
Hesitancy and having to see where our feet are landing is a great sign of insecurity conce
ing our balance.
Why does this happen?
Chinese peasants don’t look to check their feet.
Even, maybe French peasants don’t look to check if the earth is still there!
But in our society most of us seem to have somehow lost our connection to the earth.
We have been giving such predominance – especially in the last 50 years or so – to our intellectual and mental faculties, heavily encouraged to accumulate of lot of knowledge at school and university, to then get paid to use that brain load to develop more thinking and ideas that will bring in more money and… progress of course!
So much so that we are heavy in the head and light in our belly and our feet.
No wonder as we age we tend to lose our balance and fall!
The reverse should be happening for a harmonious being. It is recommended in Chinese health-oriented practices to have ‘warm feet, a full belly and an empty head’. Do read on...
