DVD Reviews of Tai Chi for Arthritis (6 Languages Edition)

DVD Review: Not So Great...
Summary: 2 Stars

This DVD wasn't what I was looking for. I've taken Tai Chi classes for about a year now and wanted a DVD that I could use when I can't go to class (vacations, etc.). I wanted a 30-60 minute routine I could do along with the DVD. This is a very slow-moving DVD that shows (in very slow detail) the correct form for just the first 12 or so moves. It's only at the end that it goes through all the first 12 moves, but doesn't touch on all the rest of the moves. I guess I needed to purchase the next DVD up in the series... or something...

I would only want this DVD if I'd never done Tai Chi before and wanted detailed lessons on how to do the very beginning moves.

DVD Review: Great for Novice
Summary: 5 Stars

A Tai Chi teacher (who lives in another city) recommended this as a great introduction to Tai Chi. (You don't even have to have arthritis.)

Instructions are clear and shown from front and back.

DVD Review: BORING beyond belief
Summary: 1 Stars

I woke up about 3 am and couldn't fall back to sleep. So I thought I'd pop in the Tai Chi DVD I bought and watch it through before actually trying it.
I guess this guy is good, but good golly Miss Molly, it just couldn't move any slower and the folks in the video can't be any less than 70 or 75 years old. No need to watch this one through before trying it, it goes soooooo slowly that you can toss in laundry and cook Christmas dinner between the moves. I realize that one needs to be careful when doing any exercise, but one warning at the beginning is good, I don't need a warning every other sentence. I got to the point of the first move, and just couldn't watch any more.
And the warm up exercises, ARGH! The man who does them is VERY elderly and hard to understand and again with the warnings... OY! And somewhere I missed in the description that this tape is from Austalia, and they are have lovely accents, but hard to understand!
I think I'll tuck this one away and get it out when I'm 80. :)
Not worth the $$ I paid for this, in fact, I'm sending it back. This is for folks who are VERY elderly or VERY debilitated. I didn't realize it mean elderly, I know a lot of folks who aren't 75 but do have bad arthritis, but this is NOT NOT NOT geared to anyone under 75ish.
Obviously I am VERY dissapointed in this.

DVD Review: This one really works!
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this DVD because arthritis and a back/leg/nerve injury were leaving me with limited flexibility and a lot of pain. I alternate this DVD with 'Healing Yoga for Aches & Pains' (the Matkins), and have found that my flexibility, strength and posture have gradually improved and I experience less pain and need pain relievers less.

I really love this DVD because the class/instructors/demonstrators are normal, everyday people, older, with some stiffness of their own. It's encouraging to see them work through the poses, each with their own degree of perfection. Once you learn the routines, you can practice them along with Dr. Lamm- this is fun. On a good day, my body feels like it is floating through the routines! Dr. Lamm is very inspiring and his DVD is very helpful for arthritis stiffness and pain. It's just what my doctor ordered.

DVD Review: Tai Chi for Arthritis
Summary: 5 Stars

Dr. Lam does an excellant job in explaining and practicing each move front and back and then putting it into the pattern. Also gives good discription of alternatives to take into account one's individual joint problems; I am just sorry that the CD was not for the entire program for arthritis, but just the first third. This should have been explained that it was only a partial program.
