Customer Rating: Summary: Walking and health using the principles of Tai Chi as a guide. Comment: [ASIN:188696923X Tai Chi Walking: A Low-Impact Path to Better Health]]
Robert has been my Tai Chi teacher for a few years and his classes are like this book. Each chapter gave me a new understanding about the ways I could improve the way I move and also insights to finding a new more healthy and fulfilling journey in other parts of my life. Chapter 1 deals with some of the basic principles of Tai Chi. Chapter 2,3,4 and 5 explore the benefits of correct walking, alignment problems that can occur, dynamics of walking and ways to walk naturally using many of the Tai Chi principles that involve moving with awareness and mindfulness. Chapter 7 speaks about the diffferent ways of walking. Other chapters deal with vision, care of the feet, footwear, walking safely, etc. I and many of my friends have found his hints about, sunburn, poison ivy,dehydration,walking surfaces, etc. very helpful. I had back surgery in Feb 2007 and Robert's Tai Chi classes which begin with some of the stretching exercises described in this book and discovering a more healthy way to walk have helped me to live a normal active life. My feeling is that anybody who wants to explore a different, possibly a more rewarding way to live their life should read this book.
Customer Rating: Summary: Highly recommend Comment: This book covers a useful range topics all centered on walking and wellness. Customer Rating: Summary: Recommended reading for all students of the martial arts Comment: Tai Chi Walking: A Low-Impact Path To Better Health by Tai Chi Chuan expert Robert Chuckrow is a superbly presented, "user friendly", instructional compendium on the health benefits and practices of walking, employing Tai Chi principles for meditation and improved health at the same time. Readers will learn how to walk properly and naturally, why poor walking posture can actually damage physical health, and how proper walking can significantly increase longevity and vitality. Tai Chi Walking is confidently recommended reading for all students of the martial arts, physical fitness, and alternative health resources and practices. Customer Rating: Summary: Walking using taichi principles Comment: Dr. Chuckrow's book extends the principles of taichichuan to walking for exercise. It includes discussions on alignment, footwear, balance, etc. It follows on and repeats some of the material from his "Tai Chi Book." It is not a book for the general reader, requiring some familarity with taichichuan nor does it discuss the training exercise called tai chi walikng. I recommend it for the taichichuan novice as a thoughtful example of how to extend one's experience with the form to other areas.
