David Carradine's Tai Chi for the Mind

A healthy mind provides the key to a healthy body, actor David Carradine advises as a preface to this workout in which he and three other demonstrators complete a regime designed to relax mind and body through Tai Chi movements. Built around the premise that the mind clears through stretching, breathing, and slow muscle movements, this straightforward workout/exercise program will help viewers banish tension and fatigue and settle the emotions. The movements are relaxing (and some, such as rotating an imaginary ball of energy, look like fun) and, while providing exercise, don't seem overly strenuous. Easy to follow, this video offers a milder alternative for people who want to exercise or meditate but don't feel up to the rigors of yoga.
