The Tracy Anderson Method is one of the latest exercise regimes to get us into shape. It promises a ‘teeny tiny’ physique perhaps that of a dancer and anyone, regardless or their genetic background can achieve it.

As Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow’s personal trainer Tracy’s Method is proving rather popular.

Tracy Anderson Method Review - By Diets Today

Three workouts are available one of which is a post pregnancy workout to get you back into shape. Having tried the other two for the last 4 weeks dietstoday.com have the following tried and tested comments.
Tracy Anderson Method Dance Cardio Workout

If you are not used to dance or high energy cardio routines then this may come as a bit of a shock. Tracy’s boundless energy makes it look easy as she weightlessly dances across the screen. The workout consists of 8 individual dances and you can do as much or as little as you wish. Each dance routine is taught in slow motion and the workout itself can be viewed from behind Tracy which proves to be invaluable when attempting to follow the moves. This is a great energy burner.

Tips

Try learning at least one or two routines each week. You are unlikely to pick it all up in one session. Do not be disheartened if you cannot follow all the moves. You will pick it up eventually and if you don’t improvise a little. The key is to just keep moving and use up that energy.

Negatives

The routine requires space and you might find yourself having to rearrange the furniture a bit each time you do the workout (unless you have a large lounge area!)

Tracy Anderson Method Mat Workout

Definitely our favourite of the two workouts. Less space is needed so the coffee table can stay put! This series incorporates exercises to strengthen and tone arms, legs and abdomen. It is much less energetic than the cardio workout, but you have to work hard all the same. Some of the moves you will not have seen before and it is designed to get all the smaller muscle groups working, leaving you lean and toned. None of workout is particularly complicated, although a few of the floor leg stretches are a little tricky and require practice. It is recommended that you do the workout four to six times per week. Having tried it, it has definitely made a difference, legs especially feel more toned. Definitely worth a try.
