Thanks for this workout! I had trouble sleeping last night so was feeling grumpy and lethargic but wanted to work out. Couldn't find something I wanted to do, but my husband suggested tai chi because I had done some tai chi walking videos previously. I searched YouTube and was thrilled to find your tai chi workout. You two make me smile and I love your interactions together. I really feel much more cheerful and ready to face the day now! 😁

Hi April. Ever since I suffered a mild stroke 20 years ago, I have had a balance problem walking & cursive writing. Otherwise, I do not suffer anything else. My cognition, speech, memory, are all excellent. In fact, after my stroke, I returned to University and completed a double major in Mathematic & Economics; I graduated with an A+, 4.3 GPA. I would like to improve my balance. Will Tai Chi improve it? Thanks, April. I think I am older than your mother. J'ai quatre
vingtquatre .I felt strain on my knees
How lovely❤
This is great! I noticed a big change from doing this after two days. I feel more steady and stronger. Thanks! It must also retrain the brain. Walking backwards is much more challenging than walking forwards. I was sweating!
Thank you for always helping me 😊
Very gud video,for Senior citizens.👍💜⭐

Can these be done effectively with bare feet, or do you need to be wearing shoes. I am barefoot most of the time at home.
Wonderful, thanks
