Description

This course offers 5 different 13 - 17 minute stretch and strengthen videos. These exercises have been designed for the absolute beginner who is looking to get back in touch with their bodies. If you feel intimidated by other more complicated exercise routines, if you are fearful of putting too much pressure on your joints or if you are in recovery from injury and want to start exercising with something light these videos are perfect for you.

The classes have been designed for you to be able to do in your own home, with a limited amount of space. They do not require any special equipment. Each class includes a full body experience and focuses on large muscle groups, joint mobility and core strength. The videos can be completed in any order and they have been kept short to encourage students to do these exercises daily.

These Starter Series #1 Videos work as warm ups or cool downs, they can be done to get your blood flowing after sitting for a long period or first thing in the morning to start the day fresh.

They also act as a warm up for my tai chi classes. Choose the level most appropriate to you and do these quick body warm up and condition exercises before engaging with the Tai Chi Course you are following. Once these videos no longer feel challenging, progress to the Start Series #2.
