DVD Reviews of ChiRunning DVD: A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless, Injury-free Running
DVD Review: Great companion with the Chi Running book
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read Danny Dreyer's book on Chi Running but I also wanted the DVD as a companion visual guide to my journey in improving my runs one day at a time. I like the principles I am learning from the DVD. My husband doesn't have the motivation to read the book so he watches the different sections of the DVD.DVD Review: Great information but......!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this DVD ChiRunning DVD: A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless, Injury-free Runningand related text about three years ago, and have been training using Chi techniques ever since. I originally tried this approach because I could no longer run. I had a long time Archilles tendon injury which had finally prevented me from training. The techniques taught in this DVD and the text allowed me to continue to train again, including running marathons and competing in Ironman competitions. However, I did overtrain my hamstring muscles leading to injury and ischium tuberosity pain.
One person wrote of a plantar faciitis problem. I don't know about that. But, after 3 years of running with this technique and using a running metronome while training I have had no problems in this area but, I do have high arches, if that makes any difference. Initially, I ran much slower albiet easier, then better and faster, and all the time with less effort and a more stable heart rate. I am a senior runner, being over 61 years-of-age. (But, I am still a runner!)
These techniques can get you back on your feet if you have had certain leg and knee injuries. But like all exercise, remember to warm up properly prior to training.
I do feel that the $40 cost for the DVD is a bit high.
DVD Review: Easy to follow instructions
Summary: 5 Stars
This is aimed at your average person who wants to run with better technique - which suited me perfectly. My shins were killing me and I needed to find some help. Adapting my running technique to ChiRunning has helped a lot! Although it is an inspiring DVD, I have to admit that I don't much love running any more than I did before. But at least I'm also not in the pain that I was in. I read the book after watching the DVD and much prefer just watching the DVD. You don't need both; the DVD is enough. DVD Review: horrrrrid
Summary: 1 Stars
The only thing worse than this product is the company that produces it. They will not supply their product to small stores and retailers because they want to corner the market on Amazon so they can charge $40 a DVD! Do people realize it only costs them $3-4 per DVD to manufacturer? Obscene! Don't buy this terrible DVD. these folks are crooks.DVD Review: Changed my life
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved running but hated the pain. This book and the method have completely changed my perception. Now running feels good again; like when you were a kid and would run with wild abandon and no effort. Fantastic. I'm 45 and loving it.
