Fitness Friday Tai Ji, not Tai Chi

You've heard of Tai Chi, but what about Tai Ji? They're both martial arts meant to create a calm focus and balance, but there is a difference.

This week's Fitness Friday focuses on how a corporate guy traded in suits for sweats and learned how to relax.

"I'm from jersey and I'm diagnosed as (having) a double plus personality, so seated meditation wasn't going to work for me," said Gary Matteucci.
