The Tracy Anderson Method Presents Post Pregnancy Workout 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.

If you want to get amazing abs by doing cardio, then this DVD is not for you. But if you want to target your belly, butt and arms then this DVD is for you and it is GREAT!!
I bought it because I always had problems with my tummy area ( and I never had a baby but I thought that this might help me) I am so glad I got it because after the work out I really did feel like I was working out muscles I've never worked out before (especially the next day).

I had my son 22 months ago and I'm STILL trying to lose the last bit of my baby weight! I gained 50 pounds and lost 40 doing crazy cardio but I am having a really hard time losing the last 10 pounds including the extra skin that just hangs on my stomach! I just finished the Post Natal Video and it definately felt like I was working out muscles I've never worked out before. All you need is a mat and two 3lb weights! There is no cardio but she does have the Aerobic Dance Video that I'm going to purchase right now!

I am interested in purchasing this Post Natal video, but have a few questions. Does it include both cardio and toning, or just one or the other? How long is the video's run time? If it does include both cardio and toning, then how long is each segment? Also, what kind of special equipment is required? Bands, weights, what? If someone who has done the video could please help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch!

I saw Oprah's show with guest Gwyneth Paltrow, training with you. I'm 5'2" and have NEVER felt like I could target key areas in my small frame. I almost feel like I've gotten bulkier and "Fatter" after joining the gym. I just had a baby girl 8 months ago and I'm at my wit's end. I used to be so petite, lost 35 pounds breastfeeding..but want to tone tone tone! I'm goin to try your DVD, but felt like I could relate with you on a couple levels! Looking forward to doing this DVD! Just wanted to say ALOHA from Hawaii!!
