DVD Reviews of Tai-chi Exercises for Seniors
DVD Review: Senior Tai-chi
Summary: 5 Stars
My doctor suggested I try Tai-chi for balance. I guess, as we age, our balance could be compromised. Due to a heavy work load, I could not join a class. This was the next best thing. So far, I am very pleased with the dvd and would encourage others to purchase this product.DVD Review: What a waste of $30 bucks!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this DVD along with 2 other similar titles by different authors for my 83 year old Mom who is taking up Tai Chi. The other Tai Chi related titles were really quite good. When we played 'Tai-chi Exercises for Seniors' I was appalled by how sub-amateur the video and audio quality was for a DVD priced at $29.95; what a.... umm... disappointment.
Once you get past the opening text that scrolls for what seems like an eternity, you're presented with the spectacle of an over-lit Mr. Klein speaking in monotone while standing in front of an ugly backdrop. The uninspired, drab "content" then proceeds to drag on for what seems like an eternity but is only 60 minutes.
I noticed the producer is listed as `Artistic Video'.... to say the name is a misnomer is more than an understatement!!!
DVD Review: VERY SLOW PACE
Summary: 3 Stars
I found this video very slow. I would rate myself below average on the mobility chart(a 4 on a scale of 1-10). For me this video was to slow paced. The content was good but just didn't have the challenge needed to keep me motivated. The instructor although very informative was also lacking any motivational skills. It seemed to me that he was very uncomfortable in front of a camera. I used this DVD a few times and opted to return to a beginners tape which was more interesting and more challenging. DVD Review: Excellent for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very helpful program for seniors interested in learning Tai-chi. First, it provides flexibility and warm-up exercises to prepare the body. Next there are chi-gung exercises to improve the flow of energy through the body. Next the Tai-chi movements are presented one at a time, as exercises so that you can get used to each movement. The basic principles of movement, proper breathing etc. are carefully explained. The last section is a short Tai-chi form, linking the movements that you just learned. I believe it is a great approach to teach Tai-chi. The video quality is also very clear.DVD Review: Poor picture quality, poor content
Summary: 1 Stars
The picture quality of this video is EXTREMELY poor, very grainy and obviously homemade with no production values. Content is thin and not well presented, there just isnt much here. If it was cheap it might be passable, but his price on this is way out of line. You'd be money ahead with a book.
