Tracy Anderson - Perfect Design Series: Sequence I, II, III [repost]

The first of its kind from Tracy Anderson, the Perfect Design Series 3 Disk Set allows the viewer the unique opportunity to progress through three levels of muscular structure training. A must have for anyone who owned the Tracy Anderson Mat DVD. DVD's are 60 minutes each. No Special Equipment is needed. This 3 disk set allows women of all backgrounds to achieve their own perfection.

First, it starts with her typical warm-up, then you do floor work all on your LEFT leg, but Tracy in voice over cues RIGHT. This is the reason for only four stars as this should have been caught in editing as this is one of the better produced exercise DVDs out there. After your LEFT side is done and you want to yell at the television, but you're too tired - you start your RIGHT side which is cued incorrectly again.

Then onto abdomen / core work. No planks in this one, but it's a good section. For the "standing abs" Tracy does not cue much at all, less than she does in her original Mat video, but it is something you can pick up on with time. Her arm sequence this time does NOT include weights, but what's cool is she flows into a balance sequence next which I like a lot because it does challenge you. Then she does a little more arm / stretching moves and down to the floor on all fours again to finish off your behind Tracy is evil (in a good way).

You do a little more arm work on your knees using the floor to cue which I enjoyed. However, she gets a little funky and is in child's pose doing arm work WITHOUT CUEING …. so you can't see what she's doing. Again, you can memorize it and she ends the workout with a final stretch. Again, I don't like the fact that she took the time to do voice over and yet cued the wrong sides 99% of the time (there is one point where she says right and you are ACTUALLY on the right during the first lower body section / last exercise), but you would think that little thing could have been caught in editing.

Again the music is great and Tracy is encouraging. All the form pointers for the Tracy Anderson Method are throughout the workout, you just have to do it a few times to get it. There is no equipment except for a mat needed for this workout and if you have sensitive knees make sure it's a thick one, I don't have that problem but I have heard a few fans do and use knee pads.
