Tai Chi Fit: Over 50 Beginner Exercises with David-Dorian Ross - Perfect Tai Chi Dvd for Any Age - Follow Along with Nothing to Memorize *DDR Taijifit Bestseller*

I don't like exercise at this age!! I'm 71 healthy but arthritis, 3 hip surgeries w/muscle issues with 30 extra lbs have made exercise challenging. I was thrilled w/this dvd. WHY? This dvd makes it seem effortless. It flows for 30 min. No stop and starts. I don't have time or patience to wait for an instructor to explain this and that. You can do a lot of it sitting in a chair if needed. You just follow along watching David. There is really no right or wrong way to do the moves as long as your do them. Your working your body and brain which almost seems effortless. I've done Tai Chi in classes. I also have the Tai Cheng program which is too time consuming and expensive. Tai Chi Fit Over 50 you put on DVD and your doing it. Easy and effective. Best is the affordable price. $13.75. A lunch costs more than this. I found this on The Great Courses Plus was so impressed I got the DVD in case I cancel GC Plus. After a week I muted the sound and put on relaxing instrumental music and just followed along. Order this, do it for a few times and you will feel a difference , your body will thank you. You do it to your ability and as you progress your movements get better and your getting healthier. Win Win.

My daughter encouraged me to try this DVD. I have Alzheimer's and am in my 70's, and my daughter is in her 50's, and is not the most coordinated person. Because this DVD goes at a slow pace, and has you mirror the instructor, it is very easy to follow along. We have tried other DVDs, and this is by far the best for us. If you do Zumba or Jazzercize or other dance related routines, this will probably be too slow for you, but it was perfect for us. It is a 40 minute workout that can easily be stopped after about 23 minutes if you aren't up for the whole thing straight away. The other nice thing about this DVD is that you don't have to have tons of space in order to do the work out. My daughter and I can do it together on an 8' by 10' area rug with her in the front and me in the back, and we don't ever bump into each other. It you are doing it by yourself you wouldn't even need that much space. It is nice to finally have a DVD that doesn't assume you already know what you are doing. We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase. Even with my mental confusion, I am able to follow the instructor on this DVD. The instructor and the soft background music are very soothing to listen to.

I exercise with this tape 5 to 7 days per week. It is nice and slow which makes it is easy on the old joints! I enjoy the movement and I do work up a sweat. I recommend this cd to anyone of any age!

Played this for the first time today. I enjoyed the exercises and the way he explained them. The quality was not perfect but that could have been my player will continue to use this I also want to look for any others that he has

Not sure I can actually review this properly because shortly after buying it, I had a shoulder injury and have not been able to get back to my regular exercise routine. I did try it once or twice and it seems easy to follow and I am anxious to give it a try once I’m healed

This DVD is for 'over 50', but anyone can benefit from the exercises. Perfect for seniors or anyone with limited mobility. I have had five back surgeries and I have two implanted spinal cord stimulators. So I definitely was looking for some gentle do-able exercises. The entire lesson takes only 10 minutes, is easy to do. The DVD is filmed in a mirror view, so you do not have to learn the moves, just follow the instructor as he moves. Can't get any easier than that! After only a few days you'll notice (as I did), a difference. Not so stiff, can bend easier, walking and balance is improved. Your general well-being will be improved. Wish I knew about Tai Chi a long time ago. So, easy to follow exercises, 10 minute exercises, Improves walking and balance. What's not to love? Buy it, you need it, and I am so happy to recommend this DVD to you.

This is a great video! I never had done Tai Chi but wanted to get started as part of preventing osteoporosis. I bought this video as it sounded useful for beginners - and it is. I loved that multiple people are doing the movements, so one can see how to slightly adapt the moves based on body size and capability. The instructor speaks very clearly and I had no problem picking up what to do after the 2nd time through. The primary Over 50 workout is just the right length - doable within 30 min but you still feel it - and feel great afterwards - all that deep breathing! ! My husband also enjoys it even though he has taken other Tai Chi classes - so it is not too simplistic. I highly recommend!

Love this Tai Chi program, clear, calming instructions, very, relaxing. Been having a problem with very painful hip bursitis/arthritis and most exercise, some Yoga exacerbates symptoms (in particular floor poses), and wasn't sure if I would be able to do Tai Chi as one leg does not take weight well. Everything is standing and the movement is more simple swaying from one leg to another and very gentle . You could use a chair in front of you if you were unstable, but I did not have to. Started using this in the morning for about 15 minutes ( program is much longer) and it worked wonders at loosening up stiffness and cranky hip. Then I tried it for another 15 minutes before bed after sitting watching TV for too long (not smart with Bursitis/arthritis.) Was amazed at how quickly it relieved the sore stiffness and I slept like a baby). People in normal clothes, moving in a natural fashion, good clear instruction. Well made DVD, my favorite and I wasted money on about 5 Tai Chi DVD's some of which were so Kung Fooey who over twenty would even try them?

Loved it, bought my sister one and then ordered the Balance tape. Very easy to follow

Excelente, David Dorian-Ross es un excelente maestro, respetando todos los principios del Taichi, esta es una rutina suave pero completisima, movimiento continuo en total armonía. Puede ser incluso un inicio para seguir despues ya con las formas del Taichi-chuan. Todos pueden con esta rutina, Algunos de los movimientos del Taichi estan incluidos de manera muy armoniosa.

Excellent video even got my husband hooked on it and he is starting to feel the benefit especially in his neck. Relaxed video very clear instructions no jumping around.

I'm very fit and over 50 & found this to be a great introduction for people (fit or not so fit) who are 50+ yr. old. David explains well and that lady who does it with him in the video is impressive, so I thought it'd be good for 2 female friends who are approx. 68 & 86 - I gave them each one of the dvds and they've benefited from it.

I'm 67 and starting to stiffen up with a few aches and pains so thought I'd give Tai Chi a go as it is gentle. I bought this over a year ago, this one is for a friend who was so impressed by the difference it has made to me he decided to start. For something so gentle and on the face of it fairly undemanding it has improved my suppleness and balance and no more achy hips. I am delighted. It is just long enough and the instructions are so clear and easy to follow as you don't have to worry about right and left just copy what's on the screen . It took me a few goes to get the moves right but now I can do it like a pro. After a year of using this I have now bought the Tai Chi strength dvd to take it further. Thoroughly recommend it.
