This just in: this stuff works!

I've been doing the Tiger Moves more or less each day for the last 10 days or so. Try to do 2 sets per day, some days more successfully than others. The first few days what really got me was the High Reach. First of all, at moderate to high intensity they really work ya! Second, I was getting some discomfort in my left shoulder, little clicks and pops. This goes back to dumping a 2-wheeled motorized vehicle while in Jamaica some 18 years ago. I think it is called an impingement. Anyway, just had to be careful to get it loosened up. I've noticed the last few days that there have been no problems in that shoulder during the High Reach: sweet!

Also, my pecs definitely feel a touch bigger and flat out stronger. Walking with better posture, as well. i would attribute this to the mind-body connection that is at the core of the exercises, and probably an increased sense of confidence.

Now these are certainly not mind-blowing results (yet), but what really hit me was: my goodness, if I am already noticing these improvements after such a short period of time, and I have not been doing it as much as I would like (i.e. I'd rather do 3 full sets every day, and mix in Furey squats as well), then this is really promising for the long term. If (and when) I really step it up, and keep on doing this, and keep on... then I can really accomplish the plan I set out for myself for 2009.

Bottom line: if you are on the fence about the techniques/exercises outlined by the authors on this forum, then I'd say don't hold back any more! Be your own gym, and secure the level of fitness and health that was intended for you.

onward....

alan, not only that,but you will keep improving in more ways than physically. Tiger Moves are not only building your body,but your mind as well. They are DVR/VRT type execises which are derived from the martial arts and yoga. The head of the Shaolin Temple calls them "moving meditation". They are strengthening you mind and emotions as well. Keep yourself open for the fact that you will start to think more positively and approach problems more creatively. You will be empowered in every part of life. It is really fun and exciting to experience the transformation.

Hi Alan,

Congratulations on your progress with the Tiger Moves. They are one of my favorites. I use them as warm-ups as well as recovery sets between sets of push-ups.

All the Best!

Hey Alan,

Congratulations my friend. You have now experienced and given yourself what no one else can either give to you or adequately explain. It is something that comes about as the direct result of experience alone.

As you now know, what both Andy62 and B38 have stated is right on the mark, but the truth is that it is not until one applies themselves and experiences the benefits of these methods for themselves that it all 'falls into place' and the light goes on. In fact, you have just experienced what Alois P Swoboda referred to as "Muscle Control" which was and is the 'Physiological Exercise' component of his "Conscious Evolution Training System" whereby mind and body are brought to higher and higher levels of excellence as a direct response to self induced S-T-R-E-S-S. Physiologically speaking Swoboda taught that no form of Physiological exercise is even remotely as good, efficient, or productive as mind induced antagonistic muscle action and re-action where one group muscles literally creates and provides the resistance for it's opposite in order to create and build both strength and physique . The same identical concept was promoted by Frank Rudolph Young in his many books.

In fact, I personally believe that if Swoboda were alive today and seeing what is happening economically and otherwise, and the fear that it is generating he'd be telling people that this is literally the opportunity of a lifetime to develop themselves to their highest possible potential. He'd literally tell them that a life of too much ease is the ultimate enemy of true success and not the result of it.

yep the Tiger Moves really are that great, I think there a perfect stand alone routine that does it all, they heal, rejuvinate, strengthen, energize, correct muscle imbalances and increase your mental and emotional states, also I cant express how much more they enhance your reflexes and muscle speed its really aweing. but I think your results are fairly mind blowing if you think about it.
