    It's entirely up to you I would count it myself. I've found that this type of log helps me to look at a broader range of what exercise means to me, that's what makes it valuable to me.

    I count walks, hikes, rides, indoor rides, tabata, power class, yoga, snow shoeing, and nordic skiing. I even count stretching if it's for at least 15 minutes.
    That pretty much covers anything I might do in the winter.

    It's been strongly expressed to me that it's really difficult to learn it properly from a DVD. There is a DVD on Amazon that is said to be an exception to that rule - Tai Chi for Arthritis. Apparently it breaks things down really well for a true beginner.

    I don't think it's the same one, but this one clearly states it's easy to follow and for beginners. It might not be totally real Tai Chi, but is led
    by a well known martial arts guy. The pictures were definitely older people! I am not looking to really master this discipline, just do something different.

    Cool, enjoy! My free class I attend is currently teaching a new form, I guess it will take some time to learn it. I think you will enjoy it and if you like the DVD send me the name 😎
