I love this short and simple to follow Tai Chi DVD workout program. The workout is broken up into two 15-minute (approximately) segments. I am just middle-age, but I do have some significant, long-standing health issues involving fatigue and pain/muscle tightness and weakness, but I am able to do one 15-minute segment at a time, twice a week. I’m hoping that I will eventually be able to do the whole DVD at one time, and more often than just twice a week. Because the stretches included in the workout are manageable, it gives me hope that I might meet this goal. Great for gentle stretching & building balance. The instructor is very kind, taking a very loving and lighthearted approach to a fun to do workout. I also love the lady in this DVD! She gives her testimonial at the end of the DVD. She has a heart issue. So with a simple question about what she could do about it, her doctor advised her to exercise. A short time later she found a way that she can be active through exercise to improve her health by doing Tai chi. She seems very grateful to have found an instructor who has helped her with her health. If she can do it, so can I! She is an inspiration!My Mom now joins me in doing this workout twice a week. Over the years she has had hip replacement surgery, and rotator cuff surgery, as well as knee replacement surgery. And she likes it just as much as I do! I have recommended this DVD to other people in my family too. For just over $10 the price is a great value for a low impact, easy to follow, simple beginners tai chi video.Note: there is a review on Amazon that paints the instructor in a bad light for things that the reviewer claims he does. I do not see his actions the same way. So I would like to address this as well, because I almost did not buy the DVD based on that person’s review. The lady in the video does flinch, noticeably so, at the end of one of the workouts when the instructor touches her shoulder from behind. I think I would’ve reacted the same way she did, because I am very sensitive to any form of touch on my skin, especially when it is unexpected and in a sensitive part of my body. Also, the lady does appear a little aloof at certain times during the workout, and the instructor responds with some gentle encouragement, some humor, and the offer of a reward (a massage) for her joining him for the workout and doing such a good job. I do not see anything wrong with his behavior towards her. In fact I truly believe he cares about her wellbeing, has deep respect for her, and he is excellent at getting her to open up and enjoy the workout. I believe that the lady is nervous about making an instructional video. I know I would be nervous if I was in her position with cameras all around recording my every move! I’m glad I bought the DVD and did not rely on that one review!
