Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 9, 2011 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2011 This photo was taken in Tampines, Singapore at around 7am in the morning.These elderly ladies are practising what is known as "Tai-ji fan exercises.It is interesting to hear the group of ladies flip the fan open together. The sound is like a "thunderous sound" of a platoon of soldiers standing at an attention!Why do the wrist exercise?Based on the Five Elements concept; flexing the wrist(s) is said to help improve one's liver and gall bladder.Usually, the exercise begins with the Five-element position and there is suppose to be two sets of routines each with six different stances.Did you see some of the ladies holding a fan?
