Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Tracy Anderson Mat Workout Comment: Very good workout. A little more explanation for the movements would be helpful - I think you should be familiar with this type of workout to get the most out of it. Customer Rating: Summary: Some innovative exercises, but instructor not great Comment: I was really excited to receive this DVD but was very disappointed in the instructor. While there are some great innovative exercises that will tire your arms and legs quickly, I fault the DVD in that the instructor does not elaborate much (or talk very much at all for the entire HOUR the DVD runs!) on the exercises. She really only offers a few tips here and there for a few exercises she does, and fails to deliver on giving tips to improve form, efficiency, and otherwise "coach" during the workout. I would suggest to anyone purchasing this DVD to be prepared to be BORED quickly and feel somewhat disappointed for spending $30 in a DVD when you it would be much better spent on either a monthly membership at a gym or two other DVD's where the instructor actually conducts the video in a "class" format. I felt more like this DVD was a session of Tracy working out on her own, rather than catering to the viewer. I will say on the positive side, that this DVD has good lighting. Otherwise, it is a waste of money. Customer Rating: Summary: Full body workout in one hour Comment: I am a fan of body weight exercises. You do not need heavy weights to get into shape. Tracey Anderson's workout uses subtle positions to work areas you don't realize you are working. I have been doing this 5 days a week for 3 weeks and already feel a big change. Before this workout, I always had areas I could not improve. Now, I feel I can finally tighten up those difficult locations. Great DVD! Customer Rating: Summary: Good and bad Comment: I am an intermediate to advance exerciser. It has good things and bad things. The good ones, the music is very cool, the set is clean and crisp and the workout itself is like dance-callanetics. The bad ones, the instruction is almost non-existent (watch me and do as I do), she pouts and moves a bit too sexy for my taste and she talks about "reengineering muscular structure" and "teeny, tiny arms" in a way that makes me cringe a little. She wants you to commit to doing her workout 4-6 times a week to get results. The dvd is chaptered but there are only these sections: mat intro, mat routine, Gwyneth interview and Tracy's interview. During the workout itself, you cannot jump to the arm series but have to FF. The workout clocks at 57:20 min divided into a gentle warm-up 5:48, a series of leg lifts using a chair for balance 15:12, followed by a series of rib-cage isolations 4:00. Next come two different arm series: one without weights 7:11, and one using light weights (3 lbs or less.) 8:10. Then you lay on your mat for leg and butt work 6:35, and finally a floor ab-series with straight legs 5:25, and a cool down 3:35. It would be too boring for me just to do this workout, but I try doing it once or twice a week. Customer Rating: Summary: what a disappointment! Comment: It took Tracy 8 years to put together the research for her "Method" and this is what she came up with?? I don't even know where to begin. It's not an instruction video, because she doesn't give any instruction! you have to watch her every second, but here's the trick: sometimes you can't see what she's doing, either because she's behind a chair or because she's in a contorted position on the ground with her legs behind her. Couldn't they have worked the cameras to show the exercises from more than one angle? This is a terrible video, and if I could return it, I would. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: After working for 10 years to develop my method, I have turned down every opportunity to have it reach the masses - until now. I have figured out an effective way to take everyone on the life-changing journey that my method has to offer. This DVD will help you to get the kind of results that I know you never thought were possible.
