When I Saw the Beauty of It…
I Had to Know More
When I Saw That It Could
Drastically Improve
My Health…
I Knew It Was My Destiny.
Dear Health Conscious Reader,
I was a young man, recently out of the marines.
Like many other young men, I was in search of my destiny. What I discovered was something that changed my whole life.
I believe it could change your life as well, so I hope you’ll allow me to tell you the rest of my story.
I’d been training in traditional Japanese karate in the 1970’s. I did enjoy it, but while it kept me in shape, it was grueling. You had to battle other students and do regimens of exercise that were excruciating.
Then, one day I stumbled by a shop window and I saw a group of men and women of all ages moving gracefully as they were following a nimble elderly Chinese man. I could see it resembled a martial art, but it looked nothing like I’d been doing.
It was soft and fluid. The group participating wasn’t a group of frenzied young men. It was a mixture of men and women, spanning from late teens to senior citizens.
That’s when I stuck my head in
and my life was changed.
I will tell you exactly what I discovered and give you every detail in just one moment.
But first, I want to ask you something.
If I was to tell you that I knew of an amazing ancient fitness system that was over 2500 years old that could do all of the following:
- Lower your blood pressure
- Reduce your cholesterol
- Give you ripped arms and legs
- Increase your lung capacity
- Burn off as many calories as doing surfing or downhill skiing
- And many other amazing health benefits
And, if I were to tell you that I could prove to you with hard scientific facts that this system can do all of this…and…it will bring you all of these benefits in less than half an hour a day…would you be interested?
If the answer is yes, then you may want to fasten your seat belt because we’re going to move very fast.
I’m going to tell you about an extraordinary secret that most people don’t know about. I’m going to share this system with you that can do all of the above…that has changed my life and will change yours too.
So, let’s get back to my story.
A Soft and Easy Art That Brings Big Results
I entered the shop and watched. I was fascinated by the graceful movements. But, I was stunned (and I don’t use this word lightly) by the mobility and flexibility of the senior citizens in the class.
These men and women were lean with taut muscle. They might not have been kids, but they were filled with an obvious vigor and vitality. I could see their strength and confidence emanating from them.
I immediately signed up for classes. And, that was how I got my start studying an art…a total fitness system that I’ve been involved in for approximately the last thirty years.
Okay, so by now you must be dying to know what in the world is this system?
It’s called Tai Chi.
What’s so fascinating about Tai Chi is that it was originally created as a martial art. But, it’s now mostly practiced for it’s health benefits.
Practiced for more than 2,500 years, it is a form of exercise and calisthenics that incorporates elements of the martial arts, dance and Eastern mysticism.
Tai chi is an effortless and rhythmic art that stresses slow breathing, balanced and relaxed postures and absolute calmness of mind. It requires no equipment and no special place to practice.
Practitioners of tai chi concentrate on maintaining perfect balance while flexing their muscles and shifting from one stylized position to another. The movements are fluid and circular and are often inspired by animals such as cranes, praying mantises and monkeys.
I’m going to give you all the proof of the health benefits I promised before, but first please allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Robert Gugino.
I’ve been practicing Tai Chi for over 25 years and I’ve been teaching it for the last fifteen.
Tai Chi is a major part of my life. I’ve competed in both International and domestic competitions and I’ve taught thousands of classes.
How Tai Chi
Makes You So Healthy
When you practice these Tai Chi movements many things happen at once.
Your muscles are strengthened by the repeated movements. Your arms will become more defined as your biceps, triceps and shoulders all work together to do the free flowing movements.
And you legs will really benefit. When you look at me, I seem pretty fit, but boy are people surprised when they find out just how powerful Tai Chi has made me.
Quite often I’ve had enormous weight lifting types show up for a class. When they see how easy the movements look, they usually think that they are more than strong enough to do it.
But, surprise….surprise…those thick looking powerful tree trunk legs they have start to shake and collapse after just a few brief moments.
You see, you don’t need or want these huge, bulky inefficient muscles. What you want is lean, efficient and powerful muscles.
That’s what Tai Chi will bring you.
Want to Burn Some Calories?
Well, good news. You’re not going to need to go to the gym and do endless hours on a treadmill or exercise bicycle.
Besides being exhausting, it’s so boring!
And, who has the time to waste? Think about this: If you go to a gym and do cardio exercise for an hour a day -- even five days a week, that’s 260 hours a year! Next, let’s imagine that you keep it up for eight years. That equals 2080 hours gone.
Let’s put that in perspective. To earn a four year college degree a person spends about 1800 hours in the classroom.
In other words the with the time you can save doing Tai Chi as compared to a typical cardio program I described, you’d have enough spare to time to pick up an extra four year college degree!
Perhaps you’re thinking, but will I really burn calories with Tai Chi?
Well, the answer is a definitive YES!
Tai chi's gentle, low impact movements burn more calories than surfing and nearly as many as downhill skiing.(2)
If you know anything about either of those activities, you know that they are both highly demanding sports that burn an enormous amount of calories.
That’s why Tai Chi is so fantastic. You can burn off calories and do it so efficiently you could be picking up an extra college degree (or anything else that requires the same amount of time) while these other folks are toiling away at gyms.
Tai Chi Can Lower Your Cholesterol!
Most people these days have heard about the risks of having high cholesterol.
Why Cholesterol Is Bad
When too much LDL (bad) cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Together with other substances, it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can narrow the arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, heart attack or stroke can result. (3)
Naturally, a healthy diet is one way to try and keep your cholesterol level in
check.
But, virtually all medical professionals suggest that regular physical activity is
very important.
Well, when you practice the art of Tai Chi you’ll know you’re doing something that has been proven to actually reduce high cholesterol levels.
Tai chi, along with other healthy habits, has reduced levels of LDLs (bad cholesterol) 20–26 milligrams when practiced for 12–14 weeks. (4)
Reduce Joint Pain
Let’s face facts. We’re all getting older. One of the realities is that as our bodies age, we can be more prone to various joint problems, arthritis and other ailments.
But, that doesn’t mean we have to stop living life how we want to!
If you’ve ever go to China and go to the parks you’ll see an amazing sight. You’ll see hordes of elderly men moving fluidly as they practice Tai Chi.
Some of these men might be in their eighties
or even their nineties! Yet, they move like cats
and are filled with vigor and life.
This is why Western science has become so enthusiastic about Tai Chi. It really can reduce your pain.
A research study led found that Tai Chi (compared to regular stretching) showed the ability to greatly reduce pain and improve overall physical and mental health in people over 60 with severe osteoarthritis of the knee.(5)
You Can Feel Like Your Flying in the Clouds
As I’m sure is obvious, I’m really a cheerleader when it comes to Tai Chi.
I mean as the kids would say, “duh.” I’ve been practicing it so much of my life and it has brought me great pleasure.
Having said all that, I want to take a moment to speak to you directly from my heart to yours.
That’s why Tai Chi is so fantastic. You can burn off calories and do it so efficiently you could be picking up an extra college degree (or anything else that requires the same amount of time) while these other folks are toiling away at gyms.
All of the health benefits I’ve been telling you about are very important. And, believe me I’ve just barely touched on the surface. In just a minute I’m going to show you a few more that are going to really knock your socks off.
But, I also wanted to try and convey to you what I consider to be one of the most important benefits of practicing Tai Chi.
I’m sure at some time in your life you’ve seen a movie or television show where a character was portrayed that practiced an ancient Asian martial art that seemed to have a serenity or tranquility that most people in our society could only dream of having.
I have that inner happiness.
I don’t have it because I’m a huge financial success.
I don’t have it because I’m famous.
I have it because of the magic of Tai Chi.
If you want to feel more complete…If you want to feel more energized… If you want to feel like someone has given you an endless supply of “happy pills”…the kind that are good for your health and you can take as often as you want…
Then, you must try Tai Chi.
I wouldn’t be telling you all of this if it was only me.
There is science behind how Tai Chi can give you this tremendous inner feeling of happiness and tranquility.
According to the Journal of Psychosomatic Research:
“There have also been indications that tai chi might have some effect on noradrenaline and cortisol production with an effect on mood and heart rate.”
Even More Health Benefits of Tai Chi!
Researchers have found that intensive tai chi practice shows some favorable effects on the promotion of balance control, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness and reduced the risk of falls in both healthy elderly patients,(6) and those recovering from chronic stroke,(7) , heart failure, high blood pressure, heart attacks, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's.(8)
In a study in Oregon researchers found that participants improved sleep quality and length. And another study done by UCLA also confirmed the health benefits. These benefits are similar to those gained through taking powerful drugs.(9)
Have you ever heard of Shingles? It’s a viral disease that causes a painful skin rash and blisters. In a study supported by the NIA and NCCAM, researchers found that Tai Chi helped create immunity levels that were double those that didn’t use Tai Chi.(9)
Using Tai Chi Is So Easy and Fun
That’s what is probably just as important as all of the great health benefits.
After all, if it’s hard to do or takes too much time, the reality is that a lot of people just won’t get it done.
But, the good news is that Tai Chi is really easy and fun to do.
Once you know how to do the basics you can get a great workout in ten or fifteen minutes. Compare that to spending hours killing yourself in a gym.
The movements are soft. That’s why even people who are out of shape or have joint problems can even participate. Plus, you can do it virtually anywhere you have just a few feet of room.
In the office and feeling stressed out? No problem. Shut the door, do a Tai Chi routine, get some exercise and pick up your mood.
Maybe a rainy day is keeping the joggers inside, but it won’t be a problem for you. Just choose a few feet of space in your living room or bedroom and get your invigorating workout done.
It Will Be Like I’m Working Out With You
Knowing how much I love Tai Chi, I’m sure it’s not hard to imagine how excited I was when I was offered the chance to create an instructional Tai Chi DVD.
I would like to present “Tai Chi Made Easy.”
Because I’m a veteran with over fifteen years of teaching experience I know exactly what people need to learn. And I know just how to teach it to them.
In the first section of the DVD I will teach you all of the basic movements and exercises you’ll need to know to get started. When you’re first starting out these alone might be enough for a beginner or someone who’s out of shape.
As you get accustomed to them they will become easy and pleasurable to do.
Then, in the next sections I will show you several levels of routines for you to do that will incorporate the skills you learned in the first section.
I take it nice and slowly just like if I was giving you a personal private lesson. You’re going to be amazed when you start putting together some of these movements. You’re going to feel like some kind of martial arts master.
Believe me when you show some friends or loved ones what you’ve learned, they’re going to really be impressed too.
But, the most important thing is all of the health benefits and personal fulfillment that practicing Tai Chi is going to give you.
How Much Is Your
Health and Happiness Worth?
The reality is that everyone knows that having good health is priceless.
So, I can’t really put a price on that. But, I can tell you that I charge fifty dollars an hour for private lessons.
For me to teach you one-on-one all of the material that’s in this one DVD I’d say that an average person would require about five private lessons. So, you’re going to be getting $250 worth of value.
But don’t worry. I want to make sure that everyone that wants to practice Tai Chi can, so I’ve made sure that my publisher will be giving you a deal that anyone can afford. I’ll get to the specifics in one moment.
First, I want to give you some more good news.
You Will Have Zero Risk!
Listen, I know how amazing Tai Chi is and I know you’re going to be thrilled with my DVD. So, I’m going to take away any reason for you not to give it a try.
Here’s the deal: I want you to go ahead and begin using my Tai Chi Made Easy DVD in your own living room for a full 30 days. If for any reason you are unsatisfied you can send it back to the address on the product and you’ll get a full refund.
But, that’s not going to happen. What is going to happen is that you’re going become so much healthier your only concern is going to be how you didn’t start doing this earlier.
You’re going see a difference in your body.
- Your arms, legs and abdominals are going to become firm and hard.
- Your lungs are going to feel stronger as you find yourself with greatly increased wind and stamina.
- Your balance and mobility are going to drastically increase.
- Your aches and pains are going to either be greatly reduced or disappear altogether.
- Your energy level will shoot up.
- Your tranquility and contentedness will leave you feeling happier than ever.
Okay, so I promised to get to the price to get all of these benefits. Now, considering that I’ve shown you that it would likely cost you at least $250 to learn everything I’ll be teaching you in your DVD, I think a price of $79 would certainly be reasonable.
But, I really want to make sure that there’s nobody that can’t afford to learn Tai Chi if they want to. So, I haggled with the publisher and got them to agree to this amazingly low price.
$79
Only $29!
I should make something clear. The publisher has not promised to keep the price this low forever. So, I can’t guarantee that this amazing introductory price is going to be available for too long.
So, if you want to change your life and join me in getting all the benefits of Tai Chi, then you should act right away as the price may double very soon.
Sincerely,
Robert Gugino
_____Yes, Robert! I want to begin enjoying all of the amazing health benefits of Tai Chi using your Tai Chi Made Easy DVD right in the comfort of my own living room. I understand that I will have no risk because there is a full 30 day money back guarantee.
