it depends on personaly likenes - but in general, tai chi is good for beginers, but must learn proper, best from skilled teacher. Tai chi is very complex form of chinese "healt gymnastics" with martial arts aspects, so self teaching from books etc. is not good. And if you want to be in good shape, must do regular exercises - no other way :)

Tai chi is very good. It teaches you how to breath and concentrate. If you are wondering how would Tai Chi help your workouts...it will help by teaching you how to eliminate most external problems and focus.
