Product Description

Chi gung is a 3,000-year-old physical discipline that practitioners consider to be more essential to health than cardiovascular exercise. The ancient system, called the "internal martial arts," emphasizes improving the life force flow, chi, by opening the body's energy centers. These simple exercises derive their power from repetition. They are illustrated in more than 300 watercolors based on ancient Chinese scrolls and cave paintings. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

By Marco Siegel (boca raton, FL USA) - See all my reviews
I am a fitness fanatic who has tried everything. After reading the ancient way to keep fit i have become one with my body and mind. The training is different from that which you would do at a gym it is something deeper.This book was easily read and the pictures make preforming the exercises quite easy.This is a good book for anyone who wants to feel better mentally and physicaly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ancient Way to keep Fit, November 9, 2006
By corazon de arte (Friedberg, Hessen) - See all my reviews
I find this book recommendable for both beginners and advance practitioners with or without any practical experience in Tai chi, Chi Kung ,etc. There is a wide selection of methods and techniques to choose from.
The book gives a short description of the history of the various Methods and Techniques and informs the reader on the pupose of the exercises in enhancing health or as a preventive measure against certain ailments. The Illustrations are very clear, the presentation is well structured and the instructions are so simple and easy to follow. I really enjoy this book.
