Slow, fast, and transitional stances used in Cardio Tai Chi Program. Exercise intensity is moderated by varying the number of intervals of fast pace (two Tai Chi movements) that are interleaved by slow pace movements (one Tai Chi movement), with transitional motion (two Tai Chi movements). The high-intensity movement of each stance is progressively moving the body from moderate speed to higher speed within 90 s in each section.
