On Health newsletter from Consumer Reports recommends tai chi for improving congnitive functioning.
Yes, indeed, consistent practice of tai chi helps your brain as well as your body. This article refers to a study from the University of Canberra, Australia, which demonstrated that exercise of many kinds is good for "cognitive function." A brisk walk of 30 minutes is great, especially if you can do that 5 times a week. AND--the study also found that tai chi, with its low-impact mindful movements is excellent for cognitive functioning too. So be good to your brain, take those walks and practice tai chi!!

Here's a great information source --The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi, by Peter M. Wayne, PhD, with Mark L. Fuerst, 2013.
The internet is full of tai chi videos--have fun exploring. Some people do their form with a martial flair, some are very elegant, and others are more straightforward.
But it's always fun to watch and to play along with someone online!!
