Created for older adults who want to become more active without high-impact exercise, this practical guide combines seated Tai Chi, simple strengthening movements, breathing, mobility work, everyday activity, and sensible nutrition into a routine you can actually maintain. Rather than promising miracle belly-fat loss or dramatic overnight results, Adele Méabh focuses on what truly matters after 60: consistency, muscle preservation, balance, mobility, energy, and gradual progress.

Inside, you’ll learn how to perform foundational seated Tai Chi movements such as Cloud Hands, Parting the Wild Horse’s Mane, and Gathering and Pressing; improve posture, breathing, core control, leg strength, and flexibility; and follow safe warm-ups, cool-downs, and short routines for different times of day. You’ll also discover how simple food choices, portion awareness, protein, hydration, sleep, stress management, walking, and everyday movement can work alongside Chair Tai Chi to support sustainable weight loss.

A structured 4-week starter plan helps turn these ideas into action, while quick-reference routines make it easy to keep practicing even on busy or low-energy days.

Why This Book?

Because many weight-loss programs ask seniors to do too much, too fast—and then blame them when the routine becomes painful or impossible to maintain. This book takes the opposite approach. It meets you where you are, gives you clear and manageable steps, and helps you build physical capacity without treating age as a limitation or gentle exercise as meaningless.
