Reader reviews of: Beyond Crunches Average Rating: 10.0 in 2 reviews Watch, Do, Get Strong Rated 10 out of 10 Beyond Crunches contains the same solid, proven, no-nonsense but highly unusual material we've come to expect from Pavel Tsatsouline. After owning the corresponding book, "Bullet-Proof Abs" for a few months, I wanted the video to answer a few questions about precisely how certain movements looked in motion, something a book can't do - and the video delivered. I now have a reputation for having a strong midsection and I owe it to Pavel. Anyone wishing strong, functional abs - to help with both life in general and any heaving lifting they do - would do very well to purchase either this video or the BPA book. Either will provide excellent guidance but one can gain the best understanding by owning and using them both.

tion time arrives, they become their worst nightmare. They get nervous and don't know how to channel this energy. The same is true in almost any endeavor. Knowing how to channel nervous energy is a skill, and so is keeping your body relaxed. Even while you're reading this message, I'm sure most of you are using muscles that don't need to be doing anything. I'm also sure that most of you aren't breathing as deeply as you could be or should be. One thing that I have greatly benefitted from over the years is the study of chi kung or deep breathing exercises. I have done these exercises while holding still postures and I have done them while moving. It doesn't matter which way you do them, all that matters is that you are moving the energy in your body while staying relaxed and focused. Recently I watched a NEW set of videotapes, produced by John DuCane, on what is called "Five Animal Frolics Chi Kung." I tried to watch the tapes first to get an idea of what was on them, but it didn't take long for me to stop watching and start participating. Watching how gracefully John moved from one position to the next, and how relaxed he was, really got me thinking about how I needed to improve upon this skill as well. I especially liked the set of movements based upon the bear and the monkey. Really awesome. These movements generate POWER, that's for sure. I highly recommend these tapes. You can read more about them at John's website, http://www.dragondoor.com. Go there today and find out how to relax, reduce stress, increase power and energy, eliminate aches and pains, increase circulation and so on." Matt Furey "John Du Cane has taken an ancient Chinese system, developed almost 2,000 years ago, and put together a practical and workable Qigong program for today's modern lifestyles. The Five Animals Frolics Qigong system is a series of exercises developed by ancient physicians that combines principles of Chinese medicine with shamanic healing systems. Its goal is to combine a wide range of movement, special breathing patterns, and visualization to awaken the internal power of self-healing. John Du Cane gives a strong demonstration of The Five Animals Frolics and clear instruction on each of these exercises that is beneficial to those beginning Qigong, as well as to seasoned practitioners."
