Time graph for Squeeze: Stronger with Tracy Effinger

High reps, minimal rest and maximum commitment — it’s a super-tough program that will challenge your entire body. One-on-one with Tracy, you’ll see each muscle flex as she precisely cues every exercise (it’s obvious she knows — and does — what she’s talking about). Each body area is systematically worked to the max. For example: the biceps — this single muscle gets three sets of three different exercises (plus some even-harder options on the later sets). The moves are mostly “old school” classics with some newer Pilates-style exercises for variety. Film-quality production with multi-angle camerawork. Requires 3 to 10 lb. dumbbells; she also uses a workout dowel and a volleyball (a broomstick and pillow would work). ©2008. Not available in stores. DVD has: 2 premixes (36 and 40 min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Squeeze: Stronger with Tracy Effinger
Good addition to my collection
I have Squeeze and while I liked it, I didn't find it that challenging. This was more intense and the abs section was WAY better. I love the stretching in between. Tracy does an excellent job explaining what's coming and insuring proper form. I really felt the burn. - posted by Melissa on 11/5/2009

Great Workout!
Loved this workout. I've been mainly using Jari Love and Cathe Fredrick dvds and was looking for something new and different but challenging. This workout was great. I usually use 8 lb to 15 lb for chest work but even the 3 lbs dumbbells were too much for these moves. Tracy doesn't use weights for the leg workout but my legs were screaming. I had to keep stopping. The exercises are different but do a great job working the muscles. I strength train 3 times per week and kickbox 2 times per week, but this workout really challenged me. - posted by Brenda on 11/4/2009

Fan Freakin' Tastic!!!
Killer workout. I love Cathy and Amy and various other instructors and I consider myself pretty advanced. I've recently introduced barre work and KB's to my fitness routine. Tracy brings a wonderful mix of strength & barre & body weight work. The floor work had my thighs screaming! I loved the innovative ab work/core work. Well, I loved everything about this DVD. I like the way it was filmed. I thought the instruction was perfection, showing you the proper way to do the move once or twice slowly before going at the regular pace. I'm hoping for Squeeze Stronger 2 in the near future!!! - posted by Angela on 10/5/2009

wow!
I love this video. The side waist bends are killer. You will not be disappointed. Buy this video. You will be sore, but it is the good kind of sore. You will feel muscles that you didn't know you had. I have done her original Squeeze video and love both of them. This one is just the next level. I consider myself and advanced person and this is a great video to add to your routine. - posted by maria on 9/25/2009

Programming Incorrect
Solid programme. Issues with programming within the dvd. Good enough tape for a change of pace. - posted by luli on 9/9/2009

Killer
I am a fairly advanced exerciser and loved this DVD, except the dead lift issue that other viewers had mentioned. I can get past that though because I loved that this dvd is quite different than most it really pushes you and makes it difficult to "phone it in". I love the variety and the intensity. - posted by Sydnee on 8/17/2009

Not a fan
This will be the first DVD I've ever sent back. The filming was too Hollywood and some of the exercises were done at too fast a pace which is something I usually don't think twice about. The leg workout was weak and the arm workout was not much better. I'd rather do my Cathe's Bootcamp or Muscle Endurance or something on my own. I also did not like how long she would talk before some of the moves, just get to the exercise already! Not a fan. - posted by julie on 8/11/2009

Overall excellence, but dvd formatting is lousy!
A challenging workout when done in it's entirety, but I'm sending it back, because when I wanted to pick and choose, the formatting was a pain in the neck - at least on MY dvd player. Sigh. Older exercisers (50+) like me should especially watch their form and progress wisely! - posted by Angelique on 8/8/2009

Who Knew 5 Pound Weights Could Hurt So Badly?
I am advanced, avid Cathe user and I see a trainer once a week. This video worked my body in so many different ways and I felt pain many days afterward. She doesn't use heavy weights, and you don't need them either. I like her personality and the diversity of the exercises. My only complaint is the menu screen is very slow-they need to work on that. I will buy more of her advanced videos when they come out! - posted by Jeannine on 8/3/2009

OMG!!!
i love love love this workout ...i've been working out since i was 16 years old (wont tell u how many years ago that was) so i am pretty advanced but this tape just blew me away. it hurt and felt good all at the same same. i like the creativeness and the burn and the cuing. i have a huge variety of tapes ranging from old school jane fonda & ada janklowicz to billy blanks bootcamp to kelly coffey-meyer to cory everson, weights, yoga, pilates, step, circuit...the lists goes on and on. i'm always searching for a new challenge, a new twist. anything to keep me working hard and sweating lots. i love this workout and look forward to trying Tracy's other "Squeeze" tapes - posted by Nicole on 7/25/2009

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Muscle Toning

Definition: Slow, controlled movements working against resistance (e.g. dumbbells, a band or just your own body weight). Includes Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: Builds lean muscles. Increases your metabolism. Makes everyday activities easier.
