I took Tai Chi classes decades ago and when my strength and balance started to wane due to a medical condition I thought this would be a good place to start. The routine isn't super difficult. There are challenging parts but they alternate with easy positions. A good place to start if you're looking to learn

I just started using David-Dorian Ross dvd's. I have several of his dvd's. The thing I like about these workouts is that they are relaxing to me and that the movements do not have to be exact like other older tai chi workouts would imply. I workout 5 days a week in the morning and have been using the tai chi dvd's at night. The only thing I don't care for is that Mr. Ross repeatedly says, "stay with me or us" when he brings in a new move. This is the reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5. Otherwise, I like Mr. Ross as an instructor and would continue to buy his dvd's. Also, it would be wonderful to have more workouts done outside.

Love, love, love this DVD. Don't be fooled that OVER 50 isn't going to give you a good workout. It really does, and he makes it so easy to follow along, explains the moves so well, and he makes it FUN! I'm new to tai chi, but I think I've found my new love when it comes to working out. Being in my 60s, but having worked out regularly for a good 30 years or more, I felt it was time to find a different avenue for keeping fit. I can't tell you how enjoyable this is to do, and I really feel like I'm not only doing good for my body, but my mind, balance, and so much more as well.

I have watched the video once and have completed it two times. I have other David-Dorian Ross CD's on Tai Chi for Daily practice which includes and a short form. This CD is good as it is 34 minutes in length and you never stop moving. No Tai Chi moves to learn. But after you stop I feel my body is more limber and my aches and pains have gone away. At least for a while. I would recommend for any individual who has limited movement for it works both upper and lower body. The constant movement, flow, warms up the Chi for the rest of the day. I've found any work out I do with Mr. Ross is useful in someway. I've done the lower body work out and have the 5 day fit CHI. I'm close to 60 now and not so limber. This CD is great. I also do the short form learned in Tai Chi Daily Practice. They all keep me moving. Enjoy them as I have

Just received it. I watched and followed it this morning-LOVE IT. I have spent years looking for a program to get back into the same movements and purpose I had studied about ten years ago here in Boulder. This is a wonderful fit for both my husband and myself. I have three videos from David-Dorian Ross but needed this first. I didn't realize there is a whole group on line I can be a part of.( see additional info on the DVD) My previous experience 10 years ago, I attended a martial arts school that taught Shao-Lin Kung Fu-( tai-chi chuan), martial
arts forms, pushing-hands and we sparred. I was injured during one of these events just as I entered my brown belt. I was 55 years old. I was unable to continue my classes and the school in Boulder closed. Now ; retired I intend to continue with my favorite exercise and this is a great video to do just that. I love the way David teaches his classes and explains so much. This is an excellent video for anyone just beginning or someone like myself getting back to what they enjoy!
