Thanks for joining us for Week 7 of Move Your Way to Better Fitness! This class introduced Qigong—gentle, flowing movements rooted in Tai Chi—to support calm, focus, and inner strength. Together, we explored slow, mindful motions and breathing techniques to help relieve stress and restore energy.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Inspired by the Senior Games: The National Senior Games celebrate active adults age 50+ who find joy in movement. GetSetUp proudly sponsors athletes like Madonna (runner) and The Arch Rivals (volleyball team) to encourage others to stay active. Learn more about the Senior Games.
The Power of Breath: Deep abdominal breathing helps reduce stress hormones, increase oxygen flow, and calm the nervous system. This technique supports healing and boosts mental clarity.
Movements to Try Daily: Practice "Open and Close," "Cloud Hands," and gentle weight shifts while visualizing movement through water. Even a few mindful motions while waiting for tea to steep or standing in line count as Qigong!
Small Moments Matter: Integrate Qigong into daily routines—reaching for a coffee mug, standing at a stoplight, or brushing off stale energy with a “dry chi face wash.”
A Centering Practice: We closed with a peaceful movement meditation and poem to reconnect body and spirit—reminding us to stay grounded and grateful.

Keep Moving!
