Bulk is determined … Bulk is determined by genetics. Very very few women have that kind of genetic structure. I’ve been doing this for 12 years & I’ve trained more women that men. None of my females are bulky! I & many others in the industry have spent years trying to educate women that that is a myth & along comes Tracy Anderson saying the opposite just to promote her method. Many ways of trimming the body but she’s simply trying to be contrarian for publicity purposes. I just saw an ND do that w/adrenal fatigue.
it doesnt matter … it doesnt matter what you believe, it matters what research says. women do not bulk up easily. heck, the majority of men dont bulk up easily, and they actually try for it. women generally lack enough anabolic hormones to get “bulky”, and thats something you can believe in.
i can speak for … i can speak for tracy andersons workout regime.. it works!! i lost 7 lbs in just under 3 wks.. my arms are toned n defined and beautiful.. i believe heavy weights do bulk women up! ill stick with her routine for the long haul.. just saying
go to PubMed and … go to PubMed and read every peer-reviewed article on what kind of workout burns the most calories and sustains the most weight-loss and improvements in body composition. Then compare that workout with what Tracy Anderson does, and decide for yourself if she is qualified. Dont judge by what celebrities claim. Thats no more helpful than an infomercial, and they get paid millions to be fit as their job.
I totally agree … I totally agree with juiceknot, rtw2k and SebastianCrimson. I and other trainers have had the same criticisms of Tracy Anderson since I first encountered her “work” when I worked at sports club and she was brought in to do a boot camp for 25 women. We all wondered what her background was. What’s her actual training and certifications in fitness (not dance)? Trainers usually show this off (I know I do), but the only thing I see shown off as far as her background is her celebrity clientele.
Tracy Anderson is … Tracy Anderson is why women still think they’ll get bulky if they lift heavy. She is why females still do a million crunches thinking they’ll lose belly fat. This training style is laughable. I would really like to see her certifications. It’s upsetting to see props given to someone who has no idea what they’re talking about. Ladies do yourself a favor and don’t look elsewhere.
the way I feel … the way I feel about these exercises, is that they are for women who are already in reasonably good shape. I am quite fit looking but I know that there are many areas that lack tone and this is a good way to do it. Many of the exercises also remind me of dance warm-ups which release tension extremely well.
juiceknot is … juiceknot is correct. this is less of a workout than grocery shopping – literally. muscle doesnt tone, thats just a buzzword. and since 95% of women only have about 1/30th the testosterone that males do, they do not get bulky. tracy anderson is a trainer like dr. phil is a doctor
Great video! I do … Great video! I do not want to bulk up like what I have done to my body. I really appreciate her techniques. I wanna look like womanly not manly. I know she has some harder mat work outs but I think this better than contemplating…An easy workout is better than no work out…Thanks for sharing the video.
this joke of a … this joke of a trainer, tells women no to lift more than 3lbs because it will make you bulk up. WHAT!!? I guess women won’t be hugging or picking up their children any time soon. I’m sure Jillian Michaels lifts more than 3lbs. Listen to this joke if you want to stay fat. Why no invest in an adult ballet class if you want to do ballet. Much harder work and you’ll learn something.
Great women trainers out there. This is not one of them.
its great. I have … its great. I have been doing her program for about 6 months and its completely changed my body for the better
Also just in my everyday life, I feel light and strong and at ease in my body. Just bought her new download on Tracey Conect.
I am pretty sure … I am pretty sure eveyone knows tracy didn’t get her body by doing exercise and then cramming pizza in her gullet. Yes, some of her moves are pilates…does anyone really think jane fonda was ‘original’ please people. I think the majority of the snark is because she looks better than the people commenting. Deal. She looks better than me…but not for long. I have the balls to work at, stop whining and start working.
I disagree with … I disagree with your comment. Have you ever danced before? Probably not that’s why you don’t understand that the exercises she is demonstrating really do work and are difficult to do.
this chick is … this chick is clueless about everything related to exercise physiology. women would be better off to use the program from Alwyn Cosgrove’s book The New Rules of Lifting for Women, instead of wasting time trying to “tone” their muscles with this pilates ripoff
The woman who helped get Madonna in shape shows you how to do it, too!
