Tai chi is a gentle exercise that helps seniors improve balance and prevent falls. It consists of making slow, graceful movements while breathing deeply.

Studies have found that tai chi also improves leg strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, immune system, sleep, happiness, sense of self-worth, and the ability to concentrate and multitask during cognitive tests. We found 3 wonderful and free beginner tai chi videos for seniors that make it easy for your older adult to do these simple exercises at home.

The most important thing is for your older adult to stay safe while exercising. Another option is to stand for some exercises and sit for others.

Take a flexible approach and help your older adult make the exercises work for them. For each exercise, each person shows different modifications for different abilities. The suggestions help your older adult find ways to make these exercises work best for their own body.

And the voice over instructions reinforce this idea and emphasize safety and comfort above all. The video is split into two parts. The instructor prompts your older adult to choose to stop here or continue with more tai chi, depending on how they feel. At the same time, a second instructor demonstrates how to do the same movements while seated.
