Instant Health: The Shaolin Qigong Workout For Longevity Review: Easy-to-follow instructions and good information about Qigong - I just completed my first workout following the instructions in the book. I first read it all the way through. While it's far too early to say how Qigong will be of value to my health, if at all, I can say that the warm-up, stretches and the workout made me feel exceptionally good and quite relaxed. I was somewhat anxious before the workout. It did take my blood pressure down. The workout didn't take long. Admittedly, I'm sure I didn't do it in any professional manner. I just followed the instructions as best I could, as instructed in the book. The feeling after the workout can best be described as total relaxation in mind and body. I generally have problems following exercise instructions in books but found these instructions to be quite good. Now, there are two ways to apply the workout. One is for health and longevity. The other is in conjunction with Kung Fu. When you use it with a martial art, it is somewhat different in many ways and that's not what I want. I do resistance exercise and don't need to add Kung Fu to the mix. But for health and relaxation, it's a wonderful addition to your workouts. The book is an easy read. Lots of big, colorful pictures, large type and nice paper. Lots of luscious photos taken in China. Makes you want to go there. You can read it in a couple of sittings. Of course, it takes many times to even get close to perfecting the complete workout. But it's a workout anyone can do. At least, most anyone. If you are able to walk and move, you can do it. The author gives a good deal of science to back up what he says. There were a few statements he made that wasn't backed by any science in the book. That concerned me somewhat. But, there was enough science that I felt comfortable doing the workout and feeling it would be helpful to me. The author is not a native English speaker, of course. If you watch his DVDs, you'll find it hard to understand him. I think he had help in the writing as it sounds British. The book is divided into three parts . . . Part One: The Art of Science of Shaolin Temple Longevity Part Two: The Fundamentals of Shaolin Qigong Part Three: The Qigong Workout for Longevity Each part is divided into a number of short chapters. In one chapter, the author talks about himself and his own experiences, how he got into Qigong. "I am not a great martial artist which is why I'm always training and always learning. I am not the greatest teacher but I try to give a taste of what Shaolin really is. It's not a dream or a fantasy like it is sometimes made out to be, but the art and science of true health and happiness", he says. He adds, "I believe there are no bad students: there are just bad teachers, and if you choose to study from my books then you become my student and I hope I will teach you well." Of his series of books he says it is "a culmination of my twenty years experience of martial arts and the wisdom that I have learned under the instruction of many great masters. Any errors made are not those of my masters or the Shaolin Temple, but my own", he acknowledges. I must tell you, I didn't know if I would like the book or not when I ordered it. I've read many books on martial arts and none of them really met my needs. This book, however, is quite different. Perhaps it's because I was able to quickly apply it and do the workout with some ease. I'm quite fit and far more flexible than I was a decade ago before working out regularly. I think that makes a difference. But, as I said earlier, I can't imagine anyone not being able to find deep relaxation doing this workout if they got nothing else from it. Highly recommended. -- Susanna K. Hutcheson Review: Make It A Habit - Shi Yan Lei gives clear and easy to follow instructions. His pictorials are like a slideshow of each step of the form. His perfect poses and beautiful environment are demonstrative, motivational, and awe inspiring. The photos were taken on location at the Shaolin Temple, Yellow Mountain, the Shaolin Village, and the Canton region. Shifu says, you do not necessarily have to go to a secluded, natural location. You can do the Shaolin workout/practices in your own living room. Warm up, stretches, the Five Fundamental Shaolin Stances, the Eight Treasures form, some Ch'an philosophy as a background context. If you do not do martial arts, you can do whatever type of cardio exercise you want and then do the Shaolin Qi Gong. You do not have to be a Buddhist to do his practices. The accessibility of Shi Yan Lei's workout, his sincerity, the beautiful photography, his sculpted physique have certainly motivated this student to make the Shaolin workout a habit. I highly recommend this book and Shi Yan Lei's upcoming book, Instant Fitness: the Shaolin Kung Fu Workout, his DVDs, and his other merchandise. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,280,211 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #786 in Tai Chi & Qi Gong #2,320 in Martial Arts (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (421) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 0.6 x 9.75 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0956310109 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0956310101 | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 232 pages | | Publication date | November 9, 2009 | | Publisher | Yan Lei Press | ## Images ![Instant Health: The Shaolin Qigong Workout For Longevity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Xb2ccIe0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy-to-follow instructions and good information about Qigong *by A***M on March 24, 2011* I just completed my first workout following the instructions in the book.

He does a great job at simplifying the Health Workout routine to just four simple groups---"Warm up, Stretching, Qigong, and Self-Massage"---and illustrates them extremely well with step-by-step full-color photographs throughout the entire book, carefully selecting the scenic Shaolin Temple grounds as a background for it breathtaking imagery and serene beauty. He also makes relevant references to his modern day readers who may be of any gender, age group, and physical agility, sounding out why practicing Qigong can help to relieve stress, improve health, and even counteract the ageing process. The text is well spaced and large enough for comfortable reading, as one should feel when reading about an ancient healing art. I especially love the inspirational quotes and images inserted at the beginning of each chapter; they not only serve as interweaving for the chapters but also make me feel connected to the spiritual underpinnings of Qigong. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2772784-instant-health-the-shaolin-qigong-workout-for-longevity](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2772784-instant-health-the-shaolin-qigong-workout-for-longevity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
