From national aerobic champion to a star in the iconic Abs of Steel video series, movement master Scott Cole shifted into softer and slower forms of exercise decades ago, creating the Discover Tai Chi series in 2002. Now 65, Cole says, “The proof is in the tai chi pudding. I feel flexible, strong, limber, mobile, and balanced. I have zero joint pain, and I want to share these easy-to-follow insights and exercises with everyone!” His\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eDiscover Tai Chi video series has sold over one million copies, and the single title of \u003ci\u003eDiscover Tai Chi for Balance and Mobility\u003c\/i\u003e video has been his top seller for the last 12 years. Cole spent several years in pain management, guiding people through movement protocols (and away from addictive pain meds) to improve their confidence and reclaim their balance and mobility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCole has been on \u003ci\u003eLive With Regis and Kelly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe View\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Early Show\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCNN Headline News\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSoap Talk\u003c\/i\u003e (teaching tai chi to Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway), \u003ci\u003eThe Other Half\u003c\/i\u003e, HGTV, and the Food Network; as a featured trainer on the show \u003ci\u003eWeighing In\u003c\/i\u003e; and even in a fun fitness spoof with Greg Kinnear on his 1990s show \u003ci\u003eLater With Greg Kinnear\u003c\/i\u003e.
