What
is Tao of Strength Training?
The Tao of Strength Training is a fitness philosophy
that integrates strength training workouts and meditation. It was
created by Taoist Minister, Tammy Wise, a Broadway dancer turned fitness
guru. Three BodyLogos workouts, set to original music, and progressing
in difficulty, are now available on video.
BodyLogos, holistic body sculpting, changes the repetitive nature
of strength training into an "active meditation." In focusing
your mental and physical attention, you'll come to understand your
own emotional blueprint -- the relationship between certain muscle
groups and specific feelings
Who developed Tao of Fitness and what are
her qualifications?
Tao of Fitness was developed by Broadway dancer, fitness guru and Taoist
Minister Tammy Wise. Her qualifications are a 15-year professional
dance career, various fitness certifications, five certifications
in the healing arts, and ordination as a Taoist Minister in 1995.
How long do the The Tao of Strength Training workouts take?
The three holistic body sculpting workouts on Tammy Wise's BodyLogos The Tao of Strength Training fitness video are 30 minutes each. The three workouts
progress in difficulty and can be done separately or combined. It
is best to alternate the workouts.
Each workout begins with a warm-up, includes an abdominal series,
three muscle group exercises with "active meditations,"
and a still meditation as a cool down.
How often do I have to do the BodyLogos
strength training workouts?
Three BodyLogos strength training workouts a week create change. Doing two BodyLogos workouts a week maintain your present condition. At
once a week you are always starting over. The three workouts Tammy
Wise leads on the video progress in difficulty and can be done separately
or combined.
How long until I feel results from
doing BodyLogos strength training workouts?
You will feel results immediately upon starting the BodyLogos strength
training workouts. You may, however, need to work your way up to doing
all of the repetitions in the exercises. Results depend on your time,
commitment, and genetics.
Is The Tao of Strength Training a full body strength
training program or do I still need machines and free weights?
The Tao of Strength Training is a full-body strength training program when you combine
all three workouts on the BodyLogos video. Each workout focuses on
different muscle groups; alternate workouts to challenge the entire
body.
What other exercise do I need to do
in addition to The Tao of Strength Training to achieve fitness?
Alternating the three Tammy Wise BodyLogos strength training workouts on the video with
cardiovascular activity would be a complete fitness program.
What equipment do I need to purchase
to do The Tao of Strength Training workout?
None. The BodyLogos holistic strength training workout video comes
with an instructional booklet and Dynaband. Everything you need to
do the BodyLogos workouts is included.
Can anyone at any level of fitness do
the BodyLogos strength training workout?
Yes. Each person can work at their own level. You may have to work
up to doing all the repetitions in the BodyLogos strength training video, but you can
work at your own level from day one.
What's on the The Tao of Strength Training video and how much
does it cost?
Tammy Wise's The Tao of Strength Training video has three 30-minute holistic strength
training workouts. Each routine begins with a warm-up, includes an
abdominal series, three muscle group exercises with "active meditations,"
and a still meditation as a cool down. In completing the three workouts,
you will have challenged the entire body. The BodyLogos video VHS
package is $29.95 and the DVD package is $34.95.
Do I do all three BodyLogos strength training workouts, just
one, or alternate?
Tammy Wise's BodyLogos fitness video has three different strength
training workouts that progress in difficulty. It is designed so they
can be done separately or combined.
How is Tao of Fitness different from traditional
strength training?
Traditional strength training focuses on developing strong muscles
while the focus of Tammy Wise's Tao of Fitness is strengthening one's connection
to the muscles. The BodyLogos fitness philosophy turns traditional
strength training into an "active meditation."
How is Tao of Fitness different from
yoga & Tai Chi?
In yoga you connect with the universe beyond you. In Tao of Fitness the
universe is within. Tai Chi? Tai Chi and Tammy Wise's Tao of FItness share
the same Taoist roots. Tai Chi develops balance and grace while BodyLogos' Tao of Fitness develops balance and strength.
