Maximum Body Shaping (aka Maximum Body Sculpting, Aka All-weights)

Tracie Long

Categories: Total Body Workouts


I finally broke down and borrowed this video from a friend, and after doing so decided it is a must have (well like the other 30+ videos). I have a few complaints, I wish it were longer, but for a 45 minute video it can be made very intense. I think that's why I love the classics, halfway through I maybe yelling at the TV but at least I get an excellent workout. I do love the section where you go from a lat row to a bicep curl, usually I wimp out and don't use heavy weights for my biceps but since there is really no break I can for this one. And I LOVE tall box climbs. I first started doing these in February from a magazine article and feel they really work the glutes. The push up section is a toughy, especially the three counts; but it doesn't bother me too much that Tracie isn't on her toes but that's only because I am too busy trying to do *some* on my toes. The biggest complaint I have about the later videos is where have ankle weights gone? They don't use them in BBB or here, and for me I don't feel I am working as hard without them; luckily I can pause to add them. One thing I like about the Firm is I can go down or up in weight, making videos tougher or easier everytime.

Instructor Comments:
Tracie is more personable in this video IMHO. As always she has excellent cueing and form.
