The Shaolin Workout Book review
|
28 Days to Transforming your body
and soul the Warrior's way
At first glance one might think
the Shaolin workout does not belong on a weight loss site; (see
the related article Martial arts and weight loss) continue to read
this book, and your eyes will be opened up to a new way of living.
The author, Shi Yan Ming, is in
his early forties and has the body of a very fit twenty something.
This way of life has created a presence for him that even crosses over
to his writing. Every thing about him exudes energy, enthusiasm, and
health.
This
book will take you through a 28 day regimen that could quite possibly
change your life forever. The exercises start basic and get more
demanding. You will learn movements which will challenge you all
the while increasing your speed, power and flexibility. The movements
are clearly explained and beautifully photographed. It is clear to see
that Shi Yan Ming is a master of his mind and his body. Reading this
book and viewing the photographs helped me to realize that most of the
so called limitations I have regarding my physical abilities are
simply beliefs that can be changed. This Shaolin philosophy can easily
be adapted to assist you in your weight loss goals.
The real value of this book for
someone struggling to lose weight is the transformation of the mind
that will take place as you read the book, do the exercises and
perform the meditations. You will begin your journey to mastery over
your mind and body. Do I believe that this book will give you complete
mastery over your mind and body? Absolutely not - but I do believe
that it will put you on a positive path and help open doors for future
self-mastery and weight loss.
The book is not about fighting or
self-defense. You will read about Buddhism and the warrior philosophy
in a way that is non-threatening no matter what religion you follow.
This book could:
 | Motivate you to find a local
martial arts instructor and begin a lifelong journey of self-mastery
which will lead to weight loss and health |
| Cause you to gain an interest
in meditation or "action meditation" which will help you to be more
mindful in all things thereby leading to weight loss and greater
health
|
| Cause you to be more in touch
with your body
|
| Expand your mind and destroy
mental limitations you have placed upon yourself |
The enthusiasm that Shi Yan Ming
communicates is contagious and will help you reach new levels in your
self-development. New levels of confidence, enthusiasm, and energy can
only help your weight loss efforts.
Will reading this book make you a
Kung Fu master? Not hardly - but it will expand your mind and help you
develop new beliefs about your body and what you are capable of
accomplishing.
I recommend this book for anyone
who is even remotely interested in the Martial Arts. If nothing else -
this book will help you to clarify some criteria in your selection of
a martial art before committing your money for lessons.
Wishing you the best of
health,
Bill
