![]() Her criticisms also revolves around the fact that she likes to use snobbishly unobtainable and expensive ingredients (yacon syrup?). It is no secret that some people believe Tracy promotes unhealthy, low-cal diets, but I see them as more of guideline than anything else. Recipes and food guidelines: I almost considered this a con, but I am not going to pan Tracy Anderson for her controversial meal plans. Schedule tracker: I'd be lying if I said I have been consistent with the program, but I have to admit, I do appreciate being able to track progress and what workouts are next on the queue. In her informational guide, she addressing these questions thoroughly and with clarity, answering questions from what time she recommends working out to what shoes to wear for her high impact cardio (I'm still going barefoot though). Going off of what I have seen on places like the forum on Video Fitness and her Facebook page, many fans don't know where to begin or what order to do the MS and the cardio. More informational material included with the set: as much as I have loved Tracy's past work, she always seems to cause confusion in what she says and what she expects from her fans. Going along with the nice ambient music, Tracy, who does a voice over instead of talking while instructing, remains pretty restraint, leaving the viewer to concentrate on the workout. Not a lot of chatter: Tracy has never been known to be a chatty Cathy, so it should come as no surprise that she continues with her minimalist approach. With the exception of one workout (I'm looking at you, Omni Meta workout 2!), the music definitely helped me get through the burning sensation in my ass. Definitely known for her tastes in trance, techno, and ambient-based music, Tracy hits another home run. Good music: Tracy's taste in music has always been a selling point for me. ![]() My heartrate sure did shoot up fairly quickly, and towards the end of the workout, I was sweating buckets. Cardio effect: as I mentioned previously with this being the first time a Tracy Anderson workout has made me sore, this was also the first time her work gave me the cardio effect. Plus, planks seem to be the respected, go-to ab exercise lately since the recent advent of the anti-crunch movement. Lots of plank work: since you spend most of the lower segments on all fours (I know what you are thinking, you filthy pig!), you get the added bonus of working you abs as well. ![]() My saddlebags were on fire for two or three days! This is definitely the most intense lower body work she has ever produced, and for the first time ever, I was sore after using a TA workout. I believe she averages 6 moves on each leg and maxes out for a total of 40 repetitions each move. Killer lower body work: despite the shorter running time, Tracy knows how to pack a punch in 30 min. 30 minute format: I can't reiterate how much this makes me happy! Let me first start by making a list of what I think are the pros of the program: Omnicentric=total body tragedy.looks like I have a winner! The program offers 4 different sets to choose from based on your body type and your aesthetically-driven fitness goals. You mean I can get a Tracy Anderson workout done in an hour (59 minutes depending on which MS you are using)? Well, sign me up! It's a 90 day program, with each MS workout to be used for a 10 day period before moving on to the next one. It also comes with a 30-minute follow-along cardio workout to accompany the muscular structure work. Well lo and behold, Tracy answers to her critics with Metamorphosis, a program that comes with 9 muscular structure workouts at 30 minutes a piece. While for some people, that length of time is no hair off their back, I'm pretty sure the consensus among the average person is "Who the hell has time to workout for 2 hours?!" Although I will not waste my time discussing every little incident and faux pas that has made her a polarizing personality in the fitness world, one of the biggest criticisms of her method is the length of time she requires to do her workouts (90min-2hr, depending on who you ask). Now that the smoke has subsided and the chatter has died down, I think I can now give an objective review of Metamorphosis.Īs many of you know (or don't), Tracy Anderson is no stranger to controversy. At the time, I was overcome by hype that I must have spoken nonstop about Tracy Anderson. Over a month ago, I pledged not to speak of Tracy Anderson or any of her products because of all the hoopla surrounding the release of her newest program, Metamorphosis.
