I think cultures like pre-ww2 china had a good thing going (they kinda still do!) with outdoor tai-chi groups.
A slow healing exercise that exercises functional movement in the body, acts as meditation[1], acts as a source for human bodily contact (pushing hands exercise/sparring routines) and creates community ties with other practitioners. This last point also being important in staving off dementia-related diseases.
maybe in another 100 years well have gotten over this hurdle. Go humanity!

- C14L 8y agoThose groups are still everyehere, at least in all the cities I lived in or visited in China. Its not a hard thing to organize, just meet up in front of the building, play some music, and do some slow, syncronized dancing movements. Call it Tai Chi or whatever.
