I don`t know if the techniques in this book are meant to work immediately, but my mother has been suffering from leg and hip problems for several years now and her problems have never been properly diagnosed. In short the doctors don`t know whats wrong with her and she is generally in alot of pain! When I brought this book my mother read and performed the first warmup excercises and stood in the first position for about five minutes before she went to bed. When she woke up the next day she said to me that that was the first time in two years that she has slept for 4 hours without being woken by her pain. That was enough to sell it to me and I hope you buy, read and find help in this book like my Mum.

Really, really excellent. This is a *zero impact* (ie: no wear and tear on your joints or muscles) exercise, which is REAL exercise. If you think you can stand still with your arms held in front of you for more than a minute or two without breaking a sweat and hitting an aerobic state, you're probably wrong :)
I did this style to the accompanying video "Stand Still, Be Fit" which is also highly recommended! It resulted in a huge increase in energy for me, more flexibility and the loss of a belt size from my waist - it's serious exercise!
if Tai Chi is too complicated or distracting for you, imagine doing it while standing still... great for meditation, great for exercise: in short, it's just great.
Haven't found a better style anywhere on the market.

I can't describe how glad i am that i bought this book. I began studying it nine months ago and I've kept it going everyday since. It has given me so much energy, calmed me down and got rid of my sinus problem (which i'd had operations and all sorts for).
The concept of 'Chi' probably sounds outlandish to the western mind but whatever these exercises do they make you feel good. Ive heard scientific explanations which sound reasonable - that it is increased nerve activity and better circulation. Again whatever it is, it works!
I went to see Master Lam for a private class and i was really impressed. He's a very earthy, friendly man and the advice he gave me was well worth trekking down to London for.
If you have any problems with lethargy, stiffness, poor health - definitely give this book a try.

Truly an excellent introduction
Many exercise manuals spend a great deal of time seeling the ideas behind the exercise style and devote little space to "how" the exercise regime applies. Read more
