Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Hi , I bought the book about SuperSlow last summer before I hurt myself. It's more for professionals helping lay people. After I read it, I did buy some weights and found a bench and was going to start incorporating it into my lifestyle. I had heard so many good things about it, but after my injury I was never able to even start with it. I can hardly chop veggies or write for very long without causing headache and pain in my neck, down my shoulder and arm into my hand. I'm on weight restriction, so the weights and bench are collecting dust in the basement. Ken H. has some good articles on the site defining exercise, that'll make you think twice about what it really is. Have you read them or his book? In the book he mentions Tai Chi as being the closest thing to Superslow, so there is another option without purchasing all the weight equipment. Be well, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchins' book is basically directed at pros rather than lay people, but I still found it helpful. They also have a series of videos, and while the videos demonstrate using actual SuperSlow equipment, they're still useful for learning how to do the exercises at home or on regular gym equipment. There's also a wide variety of literature on the net, and Doug McGruff has his own book and video out at http://www.ultimate-exercise.com/. I haven't bought either, but the articles on his site are excellent. >I can hardly >chop veggies or write for very long without causing headache and pain in >my neck, down my shoulder and arm into my hand. This definitely sounds like you'd need the advice of a qualified, skilled professional before doing anything. You definitely don't want to injure yourself further, and even a low-impact system like SuperSlow could do harm when there's a preexisting condition. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 What's wrong with being impatient, buggin people, telling the world what you want!!!!??? Unattractive trait?!! Argh!! You don't want millions in 5 years, you want it NOW!! Don't fool yourself. Of all the billionaires and 100millionaire ( " rich " people) I've met, although they were of somewhat sober mind, PATIENCE was a weird teetering quality.(But don't mistaken my feelings for being an annoying intimidating bastard....i believe in persistence, not persuasion). Then again, boy, Dr. D and his little tidbit about how i can't control my catecholamines.......oh boy how true!!!! jb > Thanks Ham Bone, for explaining the philosophy and backround for me.
