Situated in front of ocean waves and scenic trees in Oahu, Hawaii, master teacher David-Dorian Ross here demonstrates 24 tai chi exercises, encouraging viewers to take their time, be attentive to breathing, and enjoy the slow flowing movements. Aimed at both beginners and those with some experience, Tai Chi Fit: 24 Form is divided into sections that include a short warm-up, a routine featuring all of the forms, four separate workouts designed to teach each form, and a cool down. Ross describes each form as he performs it, and he is accompanied by C. J. McPhee, who provides backup examples of the moves. Peaceful Hawaiian-tinged instrumental background music helps foster the slow and relaxed movements. An excellent guide to these ancient Chinese exercises that are beneficial to health and well-being, this is highly recommended. Aud: P. (T. Root)
