 Worth it July 21, 2010
stackityv
This dvd is worth the money if you are already fit and want to break up your normal work out routine. You need to be very warmed up beforehand or you will surely injure yourself. Some of her moves are awkward and she doesn't really count off sets for you. You pretty much need to just follow along and eventually memorize her moves. The positive part of this dvd is that you will be sore in places you are not used to and will shock your underused muscles and encourage muscle confusion. I would buy it if you are sick of the treadmill and squats and want to try something new.
Overall - good, unique workout July 18, 2010

You don't have to completely buy into Tracy's rationale of the "method" to enjoy it.
Pros:
- Easy to do in a small space
- Arm workout is particularly unique and effective. I've been doing a weekly weight-lifting class for the past 3 years. After doing Tracy's mat workout 3x a week for 3 weeks, I noticed in the old class that I was much stronger in my shoulders. And I mindlessly scratched my upper arm recently and actually felt more muscle tone. That was unexpected.
- Movements are unusual and nicely complement other workouts, like cardio
- Workouts are personal, so I'm not sure how valuable this comment will be, but I simply like the workout. Makes me stick with it. I'm surprised how much I like it.
Cons:
- Tracy's instruction is sparse, but if you do the workout at least a few times, it becomes nice not to hear the same narrative over and over.
- I don't mean this in a catty way, but I prefer she look ready to work out than ready to go clubbing. She has sexy hair in her face and it was hard to get used to at first.
- This is not for beginners. Be kind to yourself and don't feel defeated if you try it and it's hard.
- Take G. Paltrow's endorsement with a grain of salt. They are business partners. In fact, the DVD is shot in Paltrow's personal workout room. (Google the Oprah show of Tracy and GP.)
- Tracy's recommendation of doing it 4-6x a week along with her cardio workout isn't reasonable for a lot of people. I don't do it that often, but I think I'm seeing results
I'm sticking with it and will report back in a few months about its effectiveness. Cheers.
 love it... despite little issues July 18, 2010

I love this workout. My body has never been so sore after a first workout, and i workout hard. It is definately different from a lot of the things i have done. I love the arm exercises. They look simple until you've been doing them for a minute or two and then your shoulders are on fire.Overall I loved this dvd. The only problem was that she didn't give very much direction. She kind of went through certain sequences with changes without letting you know. It was annoying for the first few tries. But after doing it for a while you can catch on and remember the sequences.
What a burn! July 15, 2010

I've only been using this video for about two weeks and I can see and feel results already. Who knew using ones own body could create such a burn.
I would give this product five stars if there was more stretching at the end; I guess I could stretch on my own though.
Ladies if you want that burn without the weights, get this DVD!
Challenging and rewarding July 14, 2010

I really enjoy this workout and feel that I have accomplished something when I am done. I am already seeing results just after two weeks. I am OK with the minimal amount of talking and if you just watch what she is doing you will be fine.
