I bought this dvd purely to tone up, and after reading glowing reviews I couldn't wait to see the results for myself. I wasn't disappointed. The dvd focuses on toning the classic trouble areas; legs, bum, arms and tum. Legs and bum are great, long sections and I saw results after just a couple of weeks with 4-6 uses a week. The arms section is a miracle! At first it seemed impossible but I gradually worked up strength and my arms have never looked better. The tummy section is good but this is the only part of the dvd that could be improved on; mainly because this is the area that I want to focus most on! However it certainly is effective, and I simply consolidate the abs work with another of her dvds, tracy anderson post pregnancy workout (which centres around ab work!) Tracy's methods are new and exciting, I've never seen anything like them but they certainly work! I've seen some reviews criticise the fact that Tracy doesn't talk a lot but for me this is a plus, I would find it distracting and annoying if she was talking the whole way through, and I found that after a week of doing the dvd I knew what I was doing and I didn't really need her to be explaining the whole time. I enjoy the music in the background too, inoffensive and relaxing.
