I'm not surprised to find out that balance is one of my weak spots. According to this article in the New York Times, I should be able to stand on one foot with my eyes closed and my arms crossed for 10 seconds--and I'm not doing that. I know from yoga that the balance poses are the hardest for me. Guess it's time to get back to Tai Chi--actually, I love it and have a friend who teaches it, so I'll practice the forms with my tape and then get back to class soon. Or at least back to practicing each morning.

Except that sticking to a routine practice is another one of my weak spots...

What I love about Tai Chi is that it doesn't seem to be vigorous at all, just moving gently in a pleasant way, but in fact makes you more flexible and gets your circulation moving because you keep doing those simple moves without stopping. And the balance part really helps. And being slender is really helpful. If you live in a city, you'll probably find quite a few teachers, these days.

Yes, those are just the things that appeal to me about it.
