The Tracy Anderson Method - Dance Cardio Workout - DVD

Content: When the big stars times with smaller or larger problem zones to fight, then e gives his wife, to whom they turn with confidence: Tracy Anderson! The personal trainer has hit the mark with her very personal fitness method not only with the Hollywood stars. But while stars such as Shakira, Gwyneth Paltrow or Madonna can of course be trained privately by Tracy Anderson, other fitness enthusiasts have no choice but to go to one of Anderson's exclusive studios. And for those who aren't lucky enough to live in a city where there is such a studio, the American fitness icon has already recorded several DVDs with her various programs, with the help of which the Tracy Anderson Method can also be practiced in the living room at home.

Now two new Dance Cardio Workout DVDs have been released. The first is aimed primarily at beginners, the second at advanced exercisers. According to Anderson, the exercises serve as the perfect complement to all of her muscle structure workouts. This is because Dance Cardio workouts constantly challenge the muscles with new movements, which prevents certain muscle groups from being overused.

While the advanced DVD builds on already familiar exercises, the beginner DVD is actually suitable for anyone interested, whether already familiar with other Tracy Anderson Method workouts or not. After a short introduction and a 5-minute warm-up, a total of four different choreographies start. These can be viewed first with precise instructions from Tracy Anderson. Step by step, each of the exercises is demonstrated in an easy to follow manner. Who then feels confident enough to perform the exercises even without specific instructions, which can then watch only variant accompanied by music.

The advanced DVD also starts with a brief introduction, in which Anderson makes it clear how the following exercises are based on her other programs. After that, seven choreographies start, which again can be viewed first with step-by-step instructions and then as a complete program. Since I did not undergo any self-experimentation here, it cannot be evaluated at this point how effective these exercises actually are. But it is a fact that everyone who appreciates the Tracy Anderson method or just wants to get to know it can safely take a look at these DVDs. For fans of dance aerobics and fitness videos definitely recommended!

Picture + Sound: Really, the technical aspects are not important in a workout DVD. The picture is clean and sharp, so that purely visually every step of the exercises can be followed without problems. The same can be said for the sound. Tracy Anderson's instructions are clearly mixed in both the original version and the German voice-over audio, and the underlying music doesn't drown the whole thing out, but is powerful enough to provide the right amount of momentum. Good!

Extras: Both DVDs have in the bonus material to offer the same short interview with Tracy Anderson, in which she tells how she came up with the idea to develop their own workout method (about 3 min.). The beginner DVD also has three bonus workouts from other Tracy Anderson DVDs to offer, as well as some trailers. The advanced disc offers only two bonus workouts and three trailers due to its already longer running time.

Conclusion:The Tracy Anderson Method - Dance Cardio Workout for Beginners and Advanced is another chapter in the Tracy Anderson success story. Not only stars like Shakira, Gwyneth Paltrow or Sarah Jessica Parker swear by the training concepts of the fitness trainer. In addition to easy-to-follow exercises for beginners and advanced exercisers, the two DVDs offer some bonus workouts from earlier Tray Anderson DVDs, giving fitness enthusiasts the opportunity to try out the other programs.
