BASIC INTENSIVE 03 DATE: ………………………………….. 1 Complete the gaps in the flyer (1–5) with questions a–e below. a) Is tai chi only for old people? c) Do you get more flexible if you do tai chi? e) What do I wear for the class? b) Can I lose weight if I do tai chi? d) Can I build up muscle with tai chi? Tai chi is not only for old people. People of all ages can do it. In Asia, lots of people do it, and it has many health benefits. Yes. Because it’s very slow exercise, it’s very good for your joints and muscles. It’s also good for developing flexibility and stamina. You’ll soon be able to touch your toes! (1) ........................................................................................................................ No, you need to do other kinds of exercise if you want to lose weight, such as Pilates or aerobics (we also offer these classes too). We are going to start another tai chi class at the gym on Wednesday nights from 19:00 to 20:00, starting from the end of this month. Trainer Wang – the normal teacher for this class – is on vacation, so his assistant Trainer Wu is going to teach the class. Mr Wu has lots of experience and he is also a great teacher. (2) ........................................................................................................................ FAQ (3) ........................................................................................................................ Tai chi is not muscle-building exercise. If you want to build muscle, you should do a weight-training class. You should wear loose, comfortable clothing and soft flat shoes. That’s it.
