Catchy and creative title, right?
I know, I’m crazy clever.
So, I really love health & fitness posts on other blogs,
like MASS…
and I got to thinking,
“Hey, I might have something to add.”
And while I’m no expert, I definitely know what I like.
And I’m finally starting to figure out what seems to work for me.
At the moment.
Because if you know me,
you know I get bored and I like to switch things up.
But right now,
I am TOTALLY digging the Tracy Anderson Method.
It just seems to be the kind of workout that suits me and my body.
Plus, I kinda wouldn’t mind looking like that…
Okay, so now you’re thinking….
“I might be interested…tell me what I should do.”
And I’m thinking,
“OKAY! I will!”
{If I sound delirious, know I am fighting off the flu. Again. I blame any bad writing on that.}
Okay…actually,
what might be easier is if I just tell you what I’ve been doing or plan to do in the weeks beyond.
{Always at nap time….}
Week 1:
Start with Post Pregnancy DVD and follow up with Dance Cardio.
Week 2:
Start with Dance Cardio and follow up with Post Pregnancy DVD, using ankle weights for the leg portion and the moving them to my arms for the weightless arm portion.
Week 3:
Start with Mat Workout and follow up with Dance Cardio
Week 4:
Start with Dance Cardio and follow up with Mat Workout

Week 6:
Start with Dance Cardio II, and follow up with all three webisodes
Week 7:

Week 8:
Start with Dance Cardio II and follow up with PD I
Week 9:
Start with PD II and follow up with Dance Cardio
Are you seeing a pattern here?
And then start all over.
That’s what’s so great about these workouts,
there’s enough out there that it lasts two months or MORE,
and then you can start back at the beginning.
This mixing things up helps so you continue muscle confusion,
which is essential so that you don’t plateau.
Very important.
Also, if you find after 2 weeks using the same video that you are still kinda feeling challenged,
I would think it’s safe to say,
{in my non professional opinion}
go one more week and then switch it up.
But when it starts to get easy,
it’s most def time to move on!
One more thing….besides all her videos and webisodes,
you can find a TON of things online and on YouTube to add in for variety.
I posted an arm workout here…
she also has a fun lil treadmill workout,
and a trampoline routine…
just to name a few.
Her Facebook page has a plethora of ideas and information if you take time to read through the posts.
And I have all the free online webisodes along with other workouts of hers in one place here.
And I have all the free online webisodes along with other workouts of hers in one place here.
Tracy recommends that you do her method 5-6 times a week,
and I actually do at least 5.
But then again, I LOVE to workout.
Or at least I love to do her workouts.
You’re worried about the time commitment, right?
I know.
But listen…
I have three kids,
and here’s how I do it:
I put my two youngest down for a nap,
my oldest gets quiet time,
and mama gets her workout.
If something is super important you CAN find the time.
Tomorrow, I’ll write about food tips that have seemed to help me…
in case you want to know that too.
=)
Look at me…
next up I’ll be doing seminars.
Ha!
Tracy, I’m available for hire.
{believe it or not, I was not paid or given free things for this post, although, I wouldn’t mind doing so in the future.
Ahem.}

sounds like a great plan! i love the sound of a dance cardio video- i love workouts that don’t really feel like workouts, so i’ll have to check it out!
She has such a rockin bod!! I’ve been waiting for this post and can’t wait to try her workouts!!
Look at you go!!
I agree – there is ALWAYS time if you make it. I have three kiddos and I just have to figure out how to make time for… wait… anything important 😉
I have to find something that really works for me in the workout department…
Ok yeah I’d love to look like that! Sign me up lol:-)
Go girl, and keep us posted!
Great plan… I should map out a plan for myself for my cross training… I’m so much more committed when I have a plan and a schedule. Otherwise I’m all over the map!
My personal fave workout DVDs are the Billy Blanks Tae-Bo workouts… I LOVE them!!
Looking forward to your food tips 🙂
xoxo J
I want to hear how it goes! 🙂
Awesome. I need to check her out. Jillian is boring me to death!
Do you have all of these in a collection or did you pick them up individually?
She looks great and sounds great, thanks for letting us know about these fab videos!
I’ve seen her vids online and loved how different they were, but I’ve never actually done them. Going to check out the links…thanks 🙂
