The Tracy Anderson Method Presents Mat Workout DVD

I read all of the reviews, so I knew that there wouldn't be a lot of direction from Tracy Anderson, but I bought it anyway. I also purchased 3lb weights--you need them for the video. It is a very hard workout. I go to the gym five days a week and do cardio and lift weights and this video killed me. I highly recommend it. After you do it a couple of times you catch on and know what she's going to do next. I actually liked that she didn't talk that much.

The video is more challenging than I expected, but I love it. The only negative is that she doesn't give a lot of direction so you have to watch closely to see what she's doing the first few times. That said, the positive outweighs the negative as its a really great strengthening workout and surpassed my expectation for the level of workout I'd get from a video.

I have done alot of workout DVDs, and this one is definitely tough - especially the arm workout. However, as some of the other reviews mention, there are literally no cues or explanations of how to properly do the exercises. This makes it difficult to follow which ultimately reduces the effectiveness of the workout and is very frustrating.
I also think it is unrealistic that in her interview she states "she really doesn't want you doing anything else" besides her mat and cardio workouts.

This is a video I will do over and over again. I like the music. The only problem is that you can't go exactly where you want to with the dvd. It isn't divided into chapters so if there is a particular body part that you want to work you have to fast forward through the whole dvd to get to it. Other than that, I like it. It's a little tough to do at first but it gets easier as you get stronger.

I think the product is worth buying and tracy's method is so unique that it also gives you unpredictable and unique results which you could've never imagined doing the other exercises. If you want a feminine look rather than an athletic body, then this is the right program for you... just go for it blindly..thanks a lot Tracy.
