Summary: relaxing and refreshing
Comment: I'd purchased this dvd because of back pain and the exercises are easy to do, relaxing, and effective. There is ample demonstration of how to do each exercise. This is a great way to start the day, especially for people with arthritis. Middle-aged and older people can benefit as well as younger people. These exercises helped with neck pain as well - a very peaceful, gentle way to exercise.

Summary: Slow to Start, Hard to Follow
Comment: The way this video is broken up it is an instructional video, NOT a workout set video. You dont just learn as you run through a set and by the time you actually get to the set parts youve already forgotten how to do the stuff you did an hour ago. Its hard to get into and it turns you around as you try and do the moves so you cannot see the video. You go through each move in 4 or 5 different views each but still its hard to translate into movement. You stand on one foot waiting for him to stop talking about what you should be doing and showing a close up.
This video definately has value but if your looking for something to quickly dive into and follow for a workout this might not be the one. If you follow it long enough im sure you would learn enough to make up your own work out. But sometimes you just wanna have something to learn and do right then so you can get moving.

Summary: Tai Chi For Beginners Really Is--
Comment: If you have had trouble with other self-improvement, self-taught videos, forget about those problems and go with Dr. Lam. This video provides a gradiated approach to Tai Chi exercises and a basic set of forms that can be understood and performed by anyone with ambulatory capability, i.e., if you can stand up, sit down, and walk around without assistance you have all that it takes to get started here. After a few months of practice, you will want to move on to the "24 Forms" video.

Summary: A Review of Tai Chi for Beginners
Comment: Excellent! Very patient, very thorough and paced exactly right for me at age 70 (I'm pretty fit, though).
Customer Rating:
Summary: Marvellous for beginners
Comment: Easy to follow, educational, instructive...this is good stuff for those wanting to take up Tai Chi and were too busy to visit a class. However, a few classes before beginning would make the learning easier.
