5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Workout for Any Woman, October 17, 2008

By

This review is from: The Tracy Anderson Method Presents Post-Pregnancy Workout DVD (DVD)

I know this DVD is aimed at post-natal women, but the way it targets common trouble areas like the abs, hips and outer-thighs makes it a wonderful workout for any woman. I did have a baby 16 months ago, and have had a terrible time getting back in shape and losing the baby weight. I keep buying new workout videos, looking for that magically inspirational workout that is going to help me get my body back, with no luck, until now. I am completely hooked on Tracy Anderson! Her DVDs are beautifully produced, the setting is elegant, the music on this DVD is classical and complements the tone of the workout very well. Tracy's demeanor is encouraging and kind, she explains the mechanisms of each move quite well, but she does not talk too much.

The workout itself is about 45 minutes long, and is composed of a brief warm-up, a lot of ab work, some side lying ab work, some leg and glute lifts and squeezes, and then two series of arm exercises, one without weights and one with light weights, and then it finishes with a cool down and stretch. The workout is definitely challenging, even for a more experienced student, but not overwhelmingly hard.

The greatest thing about both this post-natal workout and Tracy's Mat Workout is that they are fun - the time flies by - and they leave you feeling strong, a bit sore, but totally refreshed. I am actually disappointed if I can't find the time to workout - definitely no "dread-factor" here! Highly recommended - Thank You Tracy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A real workout, but no cardio, October 2, 2008

By 

MomOfTwo - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tracy Anderson Method Presents Post-Pregnancy Workout DVD (DVD)

I just got this video after seeing Tracy on Oprah. I had my 2nd baby 5 months ago and am trying to get back to my pre-1st baby weight.

Pluses:
- Great encouraging tone and instruction
- New ab, leg and arm exercised that I was not familiar with
- Seems like it is going to be effective (since I could feel my muscles while doing it)
- Classical music in the background rather than obnoxious techno or pop


What you need to know before purchasing:
- You need 3 lb weights. (I did it without them, but Tracy uses them on and off in the video)
- No cardio
- The actual workout (including warm-up and cool-down) is around 50 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough, fun workout!, October 6, 2008

I purchased this out of curiosity and am so glad I did. I really like Tracy Anderson, and this is my favorite right now of her DVD's. I haven't had a baby yet, but have always battled my belly. This DVD really focuses in on the abs and is great for anyone. I also see room for growth by perfecting form. There are a variety of ab exercises that hit every angle including crunches, pikes, and planks. The leg and arm series are shorter than her mat workout but just as tough. There are many things I love about this DVD:
-tough workout in 47 minutes
-classical background music adds a lovely vibe
-fun, I look forward to doing it
- minimal talking
The only thing I would add is chaptering so you could just do a specific section in a time crunch. I'll buy anything Tracy puts out. I'd love her to make a shorter DVD focusing on butt, hips, and legs. That being said, if you like ballet/barre type workouts this is unique and challenging. I'm an exercise DVD junkie and can't control myself from reaching for this one the most.
