What is a Chi machine? Bob Anibal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Burnham" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 10:10 AM Subject: Re: Tai Chi A month ago I purchased a Chi Machine. We really like it. After a couple of sessions, Don thought he could walk better when he got up in the night. I'll know more after we have used it longer. I love it.
