A friend sent me this video today asking about cardio, and my jaw dropped. Look at him! Is Richard Simmons doing chi kung!? His movements seem to clearly express six harmonies movement and he is full of.. vitality.
I have seen lots of people in the park and even many indoor qigong/taichi classes which do the same kind of motion as this.
Fascinating.

Is highly obvious. You cannot see? Strong proof you must train more.

Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.

The easiest way to have harmony in one’s movements is to go at the same time every morning and eat lots of Fibre. 
On the other hand, Richard Simmons did inspire a lot of people to put down their bags of chips [at least momentarily] and get moving… which is never a bad thing. The last few years of his life have been rather sad if I remember correctly from various media reports; not that media reports always report reality as opposed to ‘what sells”.

Michael! A bag of chips is an entirely different proposition in the UK.
