5.0 out of 5 stars The Way of Walking: Eastern Strategies for Vitality, etc., June 30, 2000

By	Michael John Miller (Incline Village, NV, USA) - See all my reviews

Dr. Moramarco's book covers a wide range of topics related to wellness, and explains them in a way that laymen can understand.

I have studied martial arts and Tai Chi Chuan for the better part of a decade, often following my teachers through strange exercises and not knowing why. The Way of Walking explains why certain breathing exercises are vital to performance, and greatly aid in improving health. I learned more from this book than from many of my instructors.

While I took a lot of usefull information from this book, what really surprised me was my mother's reaction to it. Before I had finished reading it, my mother started flipping through it. After a few minutes she commandeered my copy and took it home. Now my mother couldn't care less about martial arts or Eastern philosophy. But she does care about her health. She read the entire book and high-lighted the sections having to do with nutrition and breathing exercises. She is already starting to implement some of the healthy sugestions in the book, and is even talking about starting Tai Chi.

I really can't express how good this book is, both for martial artist and couch potato looking to turn over a new (healthy) leaf. I can only recomend that you read it for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best exercise/fitness/health book Ive seen in 40 years, July 14, 2000

By	Norman R. (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews

I am an avid exercise enthusiast from California. I have seen just about every fitness fad and routine in my many years, with my thirst for information on this subject. This book has introduced me to principals and exercises unknown to me that I find incredibly interesting and health enhancing. I have abandoned my current exercise routine and have begun some of Dr. Moramarco's exercises---I feel great! Thank so much, Dr. Moramarco! Norman
