Master trainer Lee Holden presents a stress-relieving exercise program in which participants can challenge themselves to perform a seven-minute qi gong routine for 30 days. Holden emphasizes flowing and stretching movements designed to energize the body, calm the mind, and promote relaxation. He developed this challenge for time-strapped individuals, who can simply select the day’s set of exercises from the DVD menu. As Holden performs each exercise, he describes the purpose and benefit of each movement, stressing the importance of maintaining consistency for the best results and noting that the routines can be performed any time of the day. The daily exercises are occasionally repeated on other days—sometimes with variations—enabling participants to gain competency and familiarity as the month progresses. Taken together, the routines equal over three hours of exercises that will help relieve tension in the head, neck, shoulders, and back, as well as improve range of motion, strength, and flexibility, while restoring vital energy to the body. The picturesque California coast background adds a relaxed atmosphere for exercising. Recommended. Aud: P. (T. Root)
