Longevity: Back Up

Back up is part of Tracie Long's Longevity series. I wanted to like it more than I did. It is a good total body cardio + strength workout. I finished it several hours ago and my shoulders and upper back are still feeling it. But so does my neck and not in a good way. … Continue reading Longevity: Back Up

Reboot: Real Evolution, Vol 1

Real Evolution Vol 1 is the first workout in Tracie Long's Reboot series and from what I see there are only 2 workouts in this series. I have not bought Vol 2 yet but I am going to now! Vol 1 is excellent! I loved this workout. The time flew by! This is a cardio … Continue reading Reboot: Real Evolution, Vol 1

Focus: Break Through

Break Through is also subtitled Volume 5. It is the last workout in Tracie Long's Focus Series. The other 4 workouts are Power Up, Lift Higher, Kickback and Reach Further. She created those 4 workouts first then apparently decided to add this one on to the series later. And I am glad! I really liked … Continue reading Focus: Break Through

Longevity: Leaning Out

Leaning Out is another fabulous total body strength workout in Tracie Long's Longevity series. This workout was tough but doable, so high intermediate level with the right weights. The only exercise I had any problems with were the modified dive bomber push ups and that was mostly due to my shoulder problem. I was able … Continue reading Longevity: Leaning Out

Look Better Naked is a DVD containing two workouts by Jessica Smith. The workouts are apparently a companion to the book Look Better Naked published by Women's Health Magazine (Rodale). There is a one minute introduction in which Jessica says the workouts are based on a 6 week program in which you do 4 workouts … Continue reading Look Better Naked

Walk On: 3 DVD Superset

As the title implies, this collection has 3 DVDs and each DVD has two 30 minute workouts, so you get 6 workouts. These are more excellent Jessica Smith cardio walks to add to my collection. One of the oddest things that cancer treatment has done for me is make me love the cardio walks that … Continue reading Walk On: 3 DVD Superset

Focus: Power Up

Power Up is another 30 minute workout from Tracie Long in her Focus series and I did not enjoy it at all. I actually found it a very odd workout and I don't really understand the point of her Focus series now. From what I can see online (and what I have checked out from … Continue reading Focus: Power Up

Longevity: Staying Power

Staying Power is a 52:30 minute cardio + strength/metabolic workout by Tracie Long. This workout is currently also available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and it's telling me it is free for Prime members though I have not tried to do it that way. This is the first time I noticed that. I checked … Continue reading Longevity: Staying Power

Stronger Longer Volume 1

Stronger Longer Volume 1 is an excellent workout by Tracie Long. This (and Volume 2) are what inspired me to start looking at Tracie Long workouts again. I checked out one of her workouts several years ago (Figure 30: Hips), hated it and never bothered with her again. Recently I was perusing the library's workout DVDs when I … Continue reading Stronger Longer Volume 1
