Tracy Anderson - The Method For Beginners

Tracy's first-ever "beginner" workouts — fast-paced toning moves that emphasize precise form and controlled body placement. Unlike some of Tracy's other programs, these are fully cued with rep counts and technique tips (the perfect "introduction" to her unique exercise method). The first workout begins with a chair-based warm-up that incorporates pliés, stretches and side-bends. That's followed by toning sequences that range from classic chest presses to muscle-focused grapevines. The second workout also features an intense warm-up and dancer-style body-sculpting. The moves include balance exercises, standing abwork and lower-body routines (often with a subtle Tracy-specific tweak). Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells; ankle weights and wrist weights are optional
