Tai Chi
This deceptively slow practice, descended from ancient martial art forms, is sometimes described as meditation in motion. Its gentle, circular movements, symbolic of nature, improve the flow of your vital force – your chi. Technique is more important than strength. To get the movements right, concentrate on what they represent, and on relaxing the parts of the body involved.

Yoga
Yoga, believed to have originated more than five millennia ago, uses stretching, breathing and meditation to improve muscular and emotional strength, as well as endurance, calmness, and suppleness. The poses help you to stay present, to open your heart, and ultimately to connect more deeply with yourself and those around you.

HIIT
Are you a marathon runner needing to improve your performance? Or a cyclist wondering just what is necessary nutrition. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is just that – short bursts of vigorous activity like sprinting and body-weight exercise alternating with recovery periods. It raises your heart rate and keeps it up for hours after a session. According to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, as many kilojoules are consumed in 30 minutes of HIIT as in an hour of other aerobic exercise; 75 minutes of HIIT a week is enough to get and stay fit.

Stretching and Flexibility
Stretching is not just for gymnasts, karatekas and runners – we should all stretch daily to stay limber, as it protects our joints, and keeping muscles long and flexible protects them from injury. It’s especially important if you spend all day in a chair or wear heels. Stretching also improves blood flow (all important to feed the brain) and helps release muscular tension, making it a great way to take a mental break and recharge.

- Muscular tension and pain
- Improve and maintain flexibility

Pilates
Pilates, a series of exercises designed to restore inner strength literally and figuratively, uses stretching, tiny movements, and breathing to develop core strength and mobility, and sculpt the body. While it concentrates on abs, glutes, lower back, hips, and the pelvic floor, it engages muscles from head to toe. It’s more intense than yoga; supplement it with aerobic exercise for fitness.
Improves:
- Core strength and muscle tone
- Range of motion
- Flexibility
- Posture
Relieves:
- Muscle tension and depression
- Lower back pain
- All ages and fitness levels
- Consult your doctor before starting if you suffer from back pain or a chronic illness such as diabetes or epilepsy

Qigong
Qigong (or chi kung) uses poses, breath control and visualisation to concentrate energy in mind, body, and spirit. It may be meditative, or active, incorporating movement. Both forms aim to achieve relaxation. Sound a bit like tai chi? That’s because tai chi is a form of qigong, which has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to relieve pain and chronic illness.
Improves:
• Cardiorespiratory fitness
• Cognition and memory
• Sleep quality
• Balance
Relieves:
• Depression and anxiety
- All ages and fitness levels Especially people who need to:
