Method for Beginners

Finally! TA made a DVD with instructions!
I have TA Mat DVD, MetaTeen, 2 dance DVDs, Post-Pregnancy, and one designer series DVD. Yes, I have a lot of them!
This is the FIRST one to really give you good instructions throughout! It is truly for the beginner! There are less reps with each exercise and she goes slowly AND talks to you the entire time! She is encouraging too. This may be too easy for the seasoned TA vet, but she really does emphasize position. It would be a good quick workout on days you don't have time for her longer DVDs. If it's not enough, then do both workouts! There are 2.
So here is why I gave it 4 starts instead of 5. I really thought as I was going through it, 'wow, this one is totally 5 stars!' Then I got to the end, which is cardio, and there was no cool down! Nada! I really would have liked a little something...anything! You have your heart pumping and then she's like, "Bye!" Other than that, I totally recommend this one! It's great to get you started!

Enjoying this Workout
I'm reviewing this after doing the second 30 minute workout on this dvd.

I have never done a Tracy Anderson workout until I got this one 2 days ago. I do own Omni but never tired it as I was working my way though another system. I really appreciate that Tracy explains each move as precisely as possible. She also uses great imagery to help you understand the positions i.e. pretend you are holding a basketball and don't want to drop it or pretend you're holding a pizza. You can see her excitement in sharing her method with others and I'm so glad the whole 3 lb thing was explained. The moves seem easy but you will feel the burn. I even had minor DOMs.

I would highly recommend to anyone interested in Tracy's method.

Great Introduction to the Tracy Anderson Method!
I am not new to Tracy Anderson and her Method and have actually been doing her workouts off and on since I purchased her original Mat dvd in 2009. I own almost every single dvd and program she has put out (Perfect Design, Metamorphosis, rebounder workouts, etc.) and I am still really pleased that I picked this up. Tracy comes across as very sincere and genuine as she guides you through the moves and explains her unique Method. She counts out reps evenly and explains how to get the most out of her workout, encouraging you to keep at it until you can do the same amount of reps or improve your range of motion. There are two 30 minute routines; the first one is a combination of toning and some beginner dance cardio work and the second is all toning. I have always had difficulty with her dance cardio and in this dvd she really breaks it down into something more manageable (much better than the Perfect Design series Beginner Cardio in terms of instruction). I do believe with practice that I...
