for Diabetes. Sadly, no one had yet tried it out so I researched it on the web.
I chose TaiChi as I have tried it once before at a health spa, many years ago (it was on a weekend break I won- in my fit and healthy days, lol). Sorry, I digress again. Back on course -
~~ What is TaiChi? ~~

Advantages: Easy to learn and understand. Disadvantages: None...
I found this dvd to be very informative and with over 7 hours of material on two dvds contains a lot of information regarding TaiChi. The dvds are also filmed live so the infomation is easily undertood with no voice overs.

I'm saying this, because if you are doing a movement incorrectly you won't have anyone telling you that you are doing it wrong....and beleive me, that is indispensable.
Finally, I wish to say that I really do recommend TaiChi. It is very benefitial both ...
