Editorial Reviews

A tough, extra-motivating video featuring orchestra and jazz-type music and The Firm's usual movie-quality production. Tracy Long's precise cuing and constantly-changing moves guarantees a shapely, well-defined body. A short, intense all-floorwork program with lots of tempo and movement variations. These classic routines are precision-targeted to those familiar "trouble spots": your abs, thighs and buttocks. There's a "choreographed" feel to this workout - Tracy makes it interesting by constantly alternating the exercises and varying the pace (e.g. fast, slow, pulsed; with and without weights). Requires 8 to 20 lb. dumbbells and 3 to 5 lb. ankle weights. Re-edited from The Firm's Tortoise and Hare. Formerly titled "Lie Down and Work Out." ©1996 (37 min.).

I love Tracie Long. She is one of the few people I can work out to at home. Her cuing is perfect, very seamless and she seems to intuitively know when it's time to move to the next position. If you listen to her, you're able to transition very easily from one position to the next. Her work-outs are also relatively low impact, so I can see why people with injuries would find her work-outs appealing. I have found the ab work-outs to be very effective. My belly area has always been my number one problem spot, and no amount of crunches ever did anything, but the different positions in this videa really do the trick for me. It doesn't concentrate on just one area, but the upper, lower, and sides so while I may not be destined for 6 pack greatness, it does give me definition in my waist. This work-out is all about working smarter, not harder, which I'm all about. It is true there are no chapters, but one, this is a straight copy from the original VHS, and two, it is so short, you really don't need chapters. Her other DVDs, including the ones where she has branched out on her own are just as excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, quick floor workout, June 2, 2007

When I really don't feel like working out, this is the DVD that I use. It's a 30-minute floor workout concentrating on abs and legs. The segments are pulled from The Firm's early videos "The Tortoise" and "The Hare," and are led by excellent instructor Tracie Long.

You get a nice basic workout that should leave you a little sore if you really put effort into each of the exercises. Great for the days when you just don't have the energy to do a more active workout.

Tracie Long is an excellent instructor. I owned this workout on VHS till it finally bit the dust. I replaced it right away! It's that good! Although the title doesn't state it, this workout also focuses heavily on your abs. It's a great abs and lower body workout done all on the floor using dumbbells and ankle weights. If you're new to weight training you could start off light or even no weights and get a great workout. If you're used to working out, going heavy gives you an awesome ab/hip and thigh workout. You feel and see results right away. It's a workout you'll pull out for years to come. I know I always manage to work it into my rotations and I've A HUGE collection of workout videos. BTW my 21 year old daughter loves this one too.
