Here is a great article I wrote about 13 years ago on how T’ai Chi Chih can assist your fitness program.

I created Supreme Ultimate Fitness, which means T’ai Chi (or Yin Yang) Fitness to balance the hard or external with the soft or internal. The key word here is BALANCE! Check out the T’ai Chi Chih for Fitness.
Stay tuned for more articles to come, including one featured in The Washington Post in Jan 2002
