It’s time to Do Something Thoughtful Thursday

Moving every day is an important part of staying healthy.  Some movements can help to relax – Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese traditional exercise that focuses on control and breathing.  It can improve balance, reduce stress, and build strength.

You can take a watch a short video class here and try it for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEOS2zoyQw4

Did you know Tai Chi counts towards the ScoutStrong Presidential Active Lifestyle Award?  Make sure you keep your activity record current!
