I've mentioned Dr. Robert Bates and his Fun With Qigong videos in the past. Now he has 2 of his videos from his latest DVD, Super Gentle Qigong, up on YouTube. This page from his blog explains what it is and what the movements on the DVD are.
When I bought this DVD he was selling it directly from his professional website, but I don't see it for sale there or on Amazon where I got another of his DVDs. Maybe that's why he posted these videos on-line?
This first one explains what qigong is, what the basic movements in this video set entail, what they're supposed to do for you, and how you're supposed to feel while doing them.
The second video assumes you now know how to do the movements and is a 14 minute run-through of the practice.
These are all VERY simple movements that can be done by anyone, at any level of fitness. They're perfect for people with limited movement because of age, illness or even body size. If you or anyone you know can benefit from even the smallest increase in movement, give this video a try.
As you progress and get more flexible and stronger, look into either more of Dr. Bate's videos, or those from Lee Holden, the ones I do the most now. The videos from this selection are those I use most frequently, and on this site you can find some of his on-line/streaming videos, including the 30 day 7 Minutes a Day program.
