Tai Cheng DVD Workout with Advanced Balance Deluxe Kit

This is a great set.... I purchased this to do Tai Chi with my father who is dealing with Parkinsons disease... we tried an actual class, but he was self conscious and he felt they were rushing him through as they shoe-horned the Tai Chi class between two regular Aikido classes......My dad likes the rate of speed they run through on these dvd's and enjoys Dr. Cheng's teaching style. He feels it explains enough without feeling patronized. He really enjoys certain portions of the Neural Reboots like the foam rolling.We typically only do these twice a week as I have to travel 40 minutes to him to get these in on a regular basis... We do the daily section we happen to be on and then to the entire Qi-Gong disc with all 8 brocades. I am sure he says he likes this just to humor me, but he is willing and ready to do the exercises when I show up, so I'm going to keep after it.I would have given this 5 stars except for the fact that I detest all the "Beachbody" ads and pills being shoved down your throat.... too bad Dr. Cheng felt like he had to use Beachbody as a delivery vehicle.I would also have loved to have the Qi-Gong disc have the Brocade overviewed without all the explanatory (run through it 3 times before we do it with the breathing....) examples.... kind of like the 18 movements overview disc.What I use: the foam rollers (smooth one for my father and the rumble roller for me), and the discs... all the other stuff is pointless and a waste of shipping......

I LOVE this work out program. The mobility drills alone make this a bargain. I have done all of the P90X workouts, Body beast, Combat 45, Hammer and Chisel, Piyo and the Tony Horton One on One workouts. I like the extreme workouts but I have to say that Tai Cheng is my favorite! The work out is extremely low impact but I have more mobility and flexibility than ever. My posture has improved and my core strength and balance is phenomenal!If you are an athlete, professional or amateur, this work out will help you get to the next level, no matter what sports or activities that you do. And it will help you recover or in some cases avoid injuries. I constantly sing this workout's praises at my job. My coworkers joke that I should get paid for my endorsement, lol. It's just that good.

If you need everything broken down to the most basic level, this program is for you. Each move is completely broken down which is why it takes so long to get to the complete sequence. I think this is great for people who do not do any exercise or have any sort of limitation of movement. I did see the infomercial for this program and it seems to be marketed to mature people. If you are a very active person, it may seem slow going. The warm up routine is more strenuous than the tai chi sequence and is repeated every day before the movements are taught. The option to perform the entire sequence at various speeds is a good option. All in all a good choice for me to learn tai chi.

never buy workout stuff on tv but this looked good. guy did a good job making it and has some real helpful unique ideas on building muscle memory which has helped a ton with my nerve pain and problems from such a technologically filled lifestyle, this is good if you spend too much time in a chair or behind a monitor/tv and dont spend as much time in reality, you can get your eye hand coordination built up real quickly and easily with his little tricks like the tape trick you will see. good for nerds that never quite grew into their bodies, coming from one.

I have not tried the program yet as my current schedule is quite hectic right now. I am looking forward to getting into this within the next few days. I will post a review after using this program for awhile.

Very good product my only concern was having to buy mats separately in order to avenue putting tape lines on my living room floor. Mats should be included

A little confusing in some parts and very slow instructions in the other parts

This program has definitely alleviated some of my back pain. Four stars because it is a bit repetitive. I don't really mind but I suspect many people will have problems seeing the program through because of the repetition.

I bought the deluxe version. I am not convinced it was worth it for the few added items.

I’ve had the opportunity to use the workout program for 12 days so far and at this point it’s well worth the money. An excellent low impact program that helps develop your balance and flexibility while increasing your fitness all packaged in an informative and effective style.

So far so good ...
