Workout Wednesday at Montgomery County Senior Adult Activities Center (Montco SAAC) is offering another eight-week session of Tai Chi with instructor Peter Judd from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays beginning March 7. Extended hours on Wednesday are an effort by SAAC to encourage adults who are still working to take advantage of the center’s programming and facilities.
Tai Chi is also known as energy exercise. It is characterized by breathing, accompanied by slow-focused movements. It can improve balance, strength, and endurance. While participants are encouraged to stretch their limits they are never encouraged to go beyond what they can comfortably do.
Peter Judd, of Taijiquan Enthusiasts Organization, hosts a relaxing class, complete with soothing music and a harmonious atmosphere. His calm and pleasant demeanor encourages without pressure, and makes everyone feel included.
