I AM ELLIOTT RODRIGUEZ.
LET'S START WITH A CHECK OF OUR
TRAVEL FORECAST WITH OUR
METEOROLOGIST.
ELLIOTT, ARE TUESDAY ACROSS
THE COUNTRY IS LOOKING PRETTY
SUMMERLIKE.
IT IS LOOKING KIND OF HOT
ACROSS MUCH OF THE NATION.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE WARM IN
THE UPPER 80s TO LOW 90s WITH
THE COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH
THE PLANES WITH A FEW SHOWER
STORMS AND OFF THE EAST COAST,
IS MARIA BRINGING SOME BIG SURF
AND SOME TROPICAL STORM FORCE
TO RESIST THEY ARE TO THE
CAROLINAS.
TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHEAST
ARE HOT AND 90s IN THE MIDWEST,
AND 88 IN CHICAGO, 91 IN ST.
LOUIS, BUT BEHIND THE BIG COLD
FRONT, 91 IN ST. LOUIS AND 69
IN KANSAS CITY.
IT IS ONLY 61 IN DENVER.
THAT IS A LOOK AT HER TRAVEL
WEATHER.
ELLIOTT?
NOW, WE KNOW HOW BUSY YOU
ARE AND HOW HARD IT CAN BE TO
FOCUS ON FITNESS ALL OF THE
TIME.
EVERY MONDAY ON CBS4, WE ARE
SHARING STORIES OF WHAT IS
MOVING YOU.
EUGENE RAMIREZ INTRODUCING US
TO A TAI CHI PROGRAM HAS PEOPLE
WORKING OUT THEIR BODIES AND
THEIR MINDS.
FOR TODAY'S FEATURED MOVING
YOU EXERCISE, WE ARE GOING
INDOORS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH
CHINESE CULTURE AND THE LIMITS
OF OUR BODIES.
IT IS A MARTIAL ART AND A
MEDITATIVE ART.
TAI CHI MAY NOT BE THE FIRST
THING YOU THINK OF WHEN
EXPLORING EXERCISE OPTIONS, BUT
THROUGH CBS4'S MOVING YOU
CAMPAIGN, I DISCOVERED THE
CHINESE PRACTICE IS MORE
CHALLENGING THAN IT LOOKS.
IT IS VERY MISLEADING.
HE HAS BEEN TEACHING TAI CHI
FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES.
HISTORY CLASS, SPONSORED BY
BAPTIST HEALTH, IS OFFERED
TWICE A WEEK IN SOUTHWEST MIAMI-
DADE.
'S CLASS BLENDS TRADITIONAL
TAI CHI MOVEMENTS WITH A MIX OF
STRETCHING, CARDIO, AND
STRENGTH TRAINING THAT HAD ME
WORKING UP A SWEAT IN NO TIME.
IT KEEPS ME HEALTHY, NICELY
GOOD, I DON'T TAKE ANY
MEDICATION, AND I MAKE A LOT OF
FRIENDS.
MY MIND IS SHARP, SO WHAT ELSE
DO YOU NEED?
THE WELL-ROUNDED CLASS
ATTRACTS STUDENTS OF ALL AGES
AND ABILITIES, SOME LIKE ROBERT
WILKINSON COME WITH THEIR
SPOUSES, BUT IT IS A VERY
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
SHE STAYS IN ONE CORNER, AND
I STAY IN THE OTHER.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THAT IS BECAUSE TAI CHI IS
ABOUT FOCUSING ON ONE'S OWN
MOVEMENT AND ENERGY.
MOVES WITH NAMES LIKE GRASP
THE SPARROWS CAME -- TAIL IS
ALL A PART OF THE LEARNING
CURVE THAT COMES WITH DOING TAI
CHI.
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, AND
THAT HELPS WITH THE ASPECT OF
THE EXERCISES.
IT IS HELPING THEM TO RETAIN
THE MOVEMENT.
IT IS DISCIPLINE, PLUS YOU
LEARN A LOT OF BALANCE AND YOUR
MIND FOCUSES.
MY BALANCE IS MUCH IMPROVED.
BALANCE AND FLEXIBILITY COME
WITH PRACTICE, BUT AN INCREASED
HEART RATE IS LIKELY TO COME
IMMEDIATELY.
AND, SO DO THE MEDITATIVE
BENEFITS. STUDENTS SAID THE
INSTRUCTOR KEEPS THINGS
INTERESTING WITH HIS SENSE OF
HUMOR AND BY KEEPING THEM
GUESSING.
WE DO IT, AND THAT HE WOULD
THROW SOMETHING ELSE, AND YOU
ARE LIKE WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT.
EUGENE RAMIREZ, CBS4 NEWS.
VERY RELAXING . SOME
STUDENTS HAVE REALLY GOTTEN
INTO TAI CHI.
SOME HAVE EVEN TRAVEL WITH HIM
TO CHINA FOR PROGRAMS THERE.
CBS4 WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IS
MOVING YOU, LET US KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING TO STAY HEALTHY
AND HAPPY.
EMAIL IS AT WWW.CBSMIAMI.COM.
THAT IS OUR NEWS BRIEF.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
