      If you are naturally overweight, Tai Chi will be a bit difficult for you to lose weight.

      Tai Chi depends on what kind of Tai Chi you learn. If it is like a national competition routine, it will be difficult to lose weight. Chen-style Tai Chi is also very good. It also depends on how hard you practice. There is a big difference between being serious and not serious. Also, if you are practicing routines, you will need to lay a lot of foundations. For example, if you cannot stand firmly, you will also need to practice strength, coordination and flexibility, and you will naturally lose weight.

      If obese people practice Tai Chi regularly, it will not only help lose weight, but also increase the body's positive energy. In addition to preventing depression, it will also increase the enthusiasm for doing other exercises, increase physical activity, and reduce the risk of fat accumulation. One participant practiced Tai Chi for three months and successfully lost more than 30 pounds. In addition, according to American scientific research, Tai Chi exercises can consume 280 calories per hour. It is known as weight loss without sweating. It has an irresistible appeal to most Americans who talk about obesity.
