Easy Tai Chi for Seniors

Easy Tai Chi for Seniors lets you practice slow, gentle tai chi at home, standing or sitting in a chair. A calm voice tells you each step while a drawing shows the move, so you always know what comes next. This is tai chi for seniors, for men and women over 60 who want low-impact movement at their own pace. It's free, with no subscription and no sign-up, and there's no quiz about your weight. Day 1 takes about 5 minutes. Your progress is saved on your phone. Two ways to practice Standing tai chi uses classic moves such as Wave Hands Like Clouds, Part the Wild Horse's Mane and White Crane Spreads Its Wings. For balance moves like Golden Rooster, you hold the back of a sturdy chair. Chair tai chi is for days when standing feels like too much, or if you'd just rather sit. Pick the chair plan and every move from Day 1 to Day 28 is done sitting down. You can switch plans any time on the Today screen. What's inside • 33 slow moves, 22 standing and 11 seated. Some are warm-ups and breathing, and a few come from qigong, like Lifting the Sky. • A 28-day plan in two versions. Sessions grow to about 10 minutes by Week 4, and every 7th day is a light rest-and-breathe day. • 8 ready-made sessions of 5 to 9 minutes, such as Morning Flow, Chair Tai Chi, Steady Balance, Tai Chi Walking and Evening Unwind. • In the Moves tab you can look up any of the tai chi exercises. Each one has step-by-step pictures and an easier version, and you can tap "Try it for 30 seconds" to give it a go. • Large text and big buttons. You can turn on a daily reminder if you like, and the app works on phones and tablets. How a session works The voice coach reads each step out loud, and the same words show on screen in big letters. During each rest you hear the name of the next move. Need a longer break? Tap +15 sec. If the app closes halfway through, it offers to pick up where you left off. There's no rush. In Settings you can slow the animation down and set 10 to 30 seconds of rest between moves. Longer rests add a few minutes to each session. The coach can speak at every step or only at key moments, and you can turn the voice off. The whole app is in English and Spanish. A few questions I've never done tai chi. Is this for me? Yes. It's tai chi for beginners: Week 1 covers the basics, and every move has an easier version. Do I need internet? No. The pictures and the voice are stored in the app, so sessions play offline. What does it cost? Nothing. It's free and supported by ads. You'll see ads on the main screens and after you finish a session, never while a session is playing. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions. Questions? Email [email protected]. This app is for general fitness.
