Getting in Shape

Getting in Shape My grandma was getting older. She had a hard time walking. One day, her friend suggested that she try Tai Chi. “ Tai Chi?” asked my grandmother. “ Is that a type of tea?” Her friend laughed and explained, “ It is a type of exercise that is very slow and easy on the body. " To help my grandma, our whole family decided to try it. We went with my grandmother to a class.

It looked easy…until I tried it. Even my older brother fell a few times trying to do the movements—and he is a soccer player! But my grandma liked Tai Chi. She continued going to the classes twice a week. A year later, Grandma was almost 80 years old and she had no trouble walking anymore. She proved that it is never too late to get in shape.
