DVD Reviews of David Carradine's AM & PM Tai Chi Workout for Beginners

DVD Review: Great for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars

I have lost several inches off my waist and went down a whole pant size in just two weeks of doing both routines everyday. My eating has not changed, and I am pleased with the results. I find it challenging as I put my all into it. Great for those not wanting a change in exercise options.

DVD Review: Tai Chi
Summary: 5 Stars

The tape is easier to follow than I expected. Following David Carradine's voice is very soothing. My doctors have recommended Tai Chi for my arthritis, to help movement but also for the breathing and relaxing capabilites. Don't get me wrong Tai Chi is difficult to learn because itself is very complex, but the tape is easier to follow than others I have seen. I am anxious to accomplish this tape and get some of David's other tapes.

DVD Review: Could have been better
Summary: 3 Stars

I picked this video from a shelf of several Tai Chi exercise videos because of the familiar face and the mystique surrounding David Carradine. He seems stiff, and not confident in (or very familiar with) the motions.
I keep trying to watch Arnold Tayam behind David because his movement is so beautiful, but I get frustrated whenever the camera isn't pointed at him. Arnold also does a beautiful sequence of movement at the end of the video filled with exercises that are not covered in the instruction.
I was hoping to be introduced to the philosophy and symbolism involved with Tai Chi, but it wasn't covered here.
I agree with another reviewers comment about difficult camera angles some times making it hard to follow, but you can eventually get it.
Still its nice to exercise to, and I feel pretty good when I do. I am going to read reviews of as many Tai Chi, taijiquan, qigong videos as I can to find some that will work better for me.

DVD Review: Good workout DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

From someone who has never done Tai Chi before this DVD is quite easy to do. Some of the directions are a little hard to follow sometimes, but again that may just be me. (I am not the most coordinated person). All in all I am very happy with this purchase

DVD Review: You'll need plenty of floor space.
Summary: 3 Stars

I think David Carradine's workout is really great, and the outfits aren't so silly in this video. However the one thing I find disappointing is the floor space required once you put all the moves together. Obviously, they practice in quite a large studio space, where ample floor space provides plenty of room to move around. I only have a small space in my living-room, and I quickly find myself running into furniture. The workout itself left me wanting a little more than was offered, but is more than adequate for beginners provided you have plenty of room in your workout area. I also think all the bonus extras of his life story in film & television, and his music is unnecessary and a bit self-involved. All that said, its still a pretty good buy, and I use it regularly.
