A Tracy Anderson question thread...
I didn't click with Tracy back in the day. The only one I still have is her Mat Workout. I need to pull that one out again. I think I remember it as being actually relaxing.
I'm looking for a high-rep program to finish out the year. I'm looking at TA or maybe Callanetics or maybe barre. Or, I dunno! What do you like about her workouts? Do you do them regularly or just once in a while? Here are the VF Reviews for some of her workouts: Tracy Anderson Let's discuss!

I hardly know anything about her. I saw a recent article about how she charged people $900 a month to hold a spot in class. Then, I read somewhere to just google her name followed by the word fraud, controversy, lies, or lawsuits and tons of stuff came up. I also found it odd that she doesn’t hold one fitness certification. Needless to say, I never felt compelled to do her workouts after that…..
I also read this article: http://http://www.indianapolismonthly.com/longform/getting-ripped-tracy-anderson/

Okay I’ll risk getting flamed.
So I jumped on the TA bandwagon when she released Meta / Continuity. I got the best results of my life. I completed 2 years of continuity then branched out. I’m back on TA because my 62 year old pudge is not making me happy. Meta is a 90 day program (9 workouts, repeat each 10 times, take one day off a week). After Meta you switch to continuity, the same set up. She created 4 centrics (hip/glute/ab/omni). The arm and ab sections are the same for each, the lower body segments differ but there is some overlap. After 2 years, the workouts are the same for all centrics. I started with hip – completed 2 years. Then I tried glute but my low back couldn’t deal with it. The plan is 10 days on each workout, take off one day a week. Add on cardio after each workout. I would alternate her cardio days with low impact days. Lots of people report good results without using her cardio. someone posted 2 years worth (I think it's hip centric) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlFJ...ZMFDZDWlfoltqN Mat is probably my favorite of hers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ii3i5tJMi8. The music, pace, set all great IMO. Perfect Design is a 3 dvd set. I think it was meant to be a 90 day program, each dvd for 30 days. But you could just split them up for the weeks left in the year. I’ve never even attempted PD 3 – too scary but I love PD 1 for travel – all you need is a mat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHv8jF8Zc_0 Right now there is quite a bit of her current content (from her subscription) on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@baddieworkout not sure it will stay there for too long as it looks like someone is posting what they are playing from her pay site. I have no desire to even try the advanced ones LOL. Here’s my youtube tracy playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...beTFOpXAP-74o_ I could go on and on but… |

Of the 2 links, which one is the mat workout you're referring to? The Tracy Anderson Method Mat Workout: In a room with French doors behind her and to the left, chairs and small tables; she's wearing black top and black pants, black shoes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ii3i5tJMi8 TA Mat Workout for Beginners: Dark set with lights in the baseboards, she's wearing black top with red pants and red shoes. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...JTysSvfMd4fY5x

the other one; (https://www.youtube.com/playlistist=...JTysSvfMd4fY5x) is part a dvd that includes 3 beginner workouts each around 25 minutes. The third one she labels as intermediate. The second one is all standing and it's a favorite of mine, particularly when traveling. kittybug - results: I was a size 4 in pretty much everything -- Express editor pants for work for instance. Stayed in that range for a long time. Now 8 and 10 are uncomfortably tight. sigh. |
