what are the best total body workouts for seniors?

I teach Qi Gong at several senior centers in my area and speak at conferences on aging issues, giving Qi Gong demonstrations and I have found it to be extremely beneficial for seniors. It is less intensive and restrictive than Tai Chi, which often leaves seniors overtired and frustrated when they can’t “hit” the poses required. In Qi Gong, the emphasis is on breath and on moving only to your own ability. The cool think is that my classes range from younger, very able-bodied to individuals who need to stay seated for the exercises and they all can fully participate in the same class.
