I am 64. yesterday I found this video and I did this exercise today. It is good and an energetic exercise, and also short, I hope I do it regulerly.
62 years old. Obese. 100+ pounds overweight. Started bicycle commuting and changing my diet two months ago. Been looking for an additional exercise that I can add to my daily routine. I belive Tai Chi is it!

Good for you taking charge of your health! Tai chi or qigong would be great to add in for balance and flexible joints. Keep me posted on your progress.
I’m not a senior, but I aspire to be one day. Exercises like this are a safe way for anyone to improve functional balance and agility in unexpected ways. I see how it can prevent injury in more vigorous workouts to include these very mild movements in a fitness routine. Thank you.
Thank you SO much Cindy!! I put this on every morning and have gradually extended the number of times I do each move by pausing. You’ve been a revelation 🙏🙏💖💖💖💖
Coming out of a pinched nerve at 7 th cervical. Doing pt exercises . Your exercises that don’t put weight on hands and stress shoulders have been a blessing. Thank you!

Another fibromyalgia sufferer here, my Dr said to do Tai Chi every day. This is perfect to start with, if I over do any exercise the pain becomes worse. I need to pace myself if I want to do it longer I’ll repeat this Tai Chi. Thank you , I’m so glad I found you, I have subscribed, and I’m watching from down under, Australia 🇦🇺🐨
Mrs. Cindy, i wanna thank u for this! i am not a senior but in my late 30s with hip arthritis and this has really helped me along with another qigong workout i do! much love

Thank you Ms Cindy you are awesome I'm 30 but extremely close to my grandma (she's pretty much a mom to me) when we lived in California she did Tai Chi every morning now she's 80 (still Quite flexible for her age) and I Wana thank you for these gentle work outs I can do with her. Also you have such a smooth and relaxing speaking voice. Thank you and bless you 💝
I'm only 29 but this video helps my morning creaks out a lot and even tho you don't mention it helping this, I noticed it helps bowel movements for me. I wonder if anyone else has found it helpful for that too.
Awww, this was so nice! Hit everything that hurts and made it moveable. Feels good, thank you 🙏 ☺️

@@FitnessWithCindy no but my massage therapist is Mandarine and he doesn’t speak much English but when I hurt he just repeats Tai Chi, Tai Chi. So here I am. I have watched him practice and it’s so beautiful to watch him. It’s like watching someone in a dream who really knows how to slow dance. Beautiful. Also, being that he is older than I am and significantly more flexible tells me that I need to learn Tai Chi
Thanks ;I want to learn self defense too..

A friend of mine recently recommended to learn tai chi online with The tai chi academy from Chris Davis, with Discover Taiji from Adam Mizner or taijiacademy from Liang de Hua in the next lock down period What do you think?

The fact she calls this Tai Chi tells us she doesn't do Tai Chi. No point in asking her opinion. But in general, if you have no prior experience, learning online is not the best option, unless you're recording yourself and getting feedback. The fact you're watching this and then seeking her opinion on Tai Chi 😖 suggests you should learn in person from a legit practitioner.

Nice exercises but not really Tai Chi. Thank you tho.
Why is it these Beginner or for Seniors videos go so fast with the movements?? IF this is to be effective, should you not speak slowly and not rush us through the moves?. Even if it is a 6 min wake up.. mind body and soul movements should feel rushed through No?

Good question. Exercise is such a personal journey .You have to go with what works for you. If I go too slow, the joints lock and the synovial fluid does not move through my joints. For myself, I suffer when I hold a position too long. However, many Yoga students find many benefits in holding their poses. Seek out what works for you. My daughter loves Yoga with Adrienne so you might check out her very helpful videos. Not every exercise is right for everyone. So keep up your search but mostly feel well! Input is so helpful, so thank you!

you can actually adjust the speed of the video by hitting the three dots in the upper right corner and where it says playback speed hit that and it gives you 0.5 etc. that’s how I learned how to do Zorba’s dance 😎
No Tai Chi here.
Why is this "branded" as Tai Chi? There is no authentic tai chi here. (I am not denying the possible effectiveness of the movements, just the hijacking of the name.)
