Certified instructor description: 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 small inflatable ball and a workout dowel (a broomstick 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

Squeeze: Stronger - Great Workout!
I love this workout! After my first workout with this DVD I felt the burn the following day. I was doing a low impact workout and did a roll-up and my backside was sore. You feel your bi's tri's and abs in a major way after completing the Squeeze Stronger workout. It's workouts like this that keep me coming back for more! - posted by Judy on 9/28/2011
good for total body toning
I love a good weight training workout,esp. Cathe Friedrich, so I was a little worried at first that I had made a mistake with this purchase. My first impression was that this was just a fitness model showcasing shoot, but Tracy seemed ernest. There was no warm up, which felt lacking. I liked the arms segment. The pace was way too rapid and could cause injury, esp. the stick on the shoulders routine. there was no cardio. I felt pretty satisfied at the end, but not exhausted. the end stretch was nice. After the arms, it was all isometrics. I don't think I will try any more of hers, but will keep this one for a once in a while toner. - posted by Vena on 9/18/2011
Sorry, but I just couldn't get into this workout
I tried.. I don't get what everyone is talking about. I wouldn't rate this as advanced and I think the "squeeze" theme was a little overkill. I am a Cathe, Jari, Paul K. and Patrick G. fan and I really can't say that this compares to them at all. - posted by Sunshine on 7/22/2011
One of my Favs!
I really like this video. Tracy doesn't waste time by talking so much and I appreciate that. It's simple, intense and effective. - posted by Connie on 6/26/2011
Light weights using a more isometric approach
I really like this work out because it is so different. The weights are very light and used for just upper body; body weight and isometric exercise are used for the lower body. I agree that the "alarm" music is irritating but that is used, (fortunately), for the first 20 minutes or so and then goes away. Tracy is attractive and engaging and never irritating. Do be prepared to do the exercises at a very fast pace and there really is no warm up so you may have to do your own. The ab section is killer and I really feel like I worked my belly by the time I finish. The "seat work" kill my butt and I really feel my hip flexors by the time it is finished. A very good overall toner and not for the faint of heart! - posted by Nancy on 6/8/2011
Excellent Rotational Workout
I've been working out at home for over three years. I have bought several dvds to rotate through so my body doesn't get used to only one style of routine. This video is an excellent rotation between my traditional weight routines. Because she uses non-standard exercises with high reps, I find this dvd perfect to target muscle groups that tend to be under worked in standard routines. Additionally, she focuses on trouble areas that are unique to women. The routine presents a different type of challenge that keeps my interest and pushes my body to a higher level of fitness. - posted by Erika on 5/12/2011
Sorry, did not like it
I would definitely have returned this if it was possible. The DVD does not fit me. I find the warmup bad for cold muscles, and some of the moves are not good for the knees. The music is annoying, as it sounds like an alarm, and I am not particularly interested in the instructors belly. As I have to keep it, I will probably use the program for biceps and shoulders once in a while. Having read the recommendations, this was a great disappointment for me. - posted by Karin on 4/30/2011
Great!
No wasted fluff! Gets right to it! You feel it right away. Tracy's workouts deliver! - posted by Kathy on 4/7/2011
great dvd
I love tracy workouts i have worked out for years with cathe, jari, and amy tracy give great results that you can see I wish she did more workout. love them. - posted by kara on 4/3/2011
This one's a keeper!
I love this workout. Pros: it's original, effective, motivating, intense, comprehensive and low impact. Cons: although it does make me sweat, it's definitely not cardio to me. Also, I would categorize this for intermediate/advanced exercisers who are already familiar with proper form and who know how to make modifications for personal injuries/issues. I have knee pain & ITB problems so I modify a couple of the moves in this workout to accommodate my situation. That said, I highly recommend this workout. It's unlike anything else in my workout library. I'm 42, a former runner, and have been using home workouts for the past 25 years. For comparison, my other favorites are Tracie Long, Cathe Friedrich, Michelle Dozois, old & new Firm, and some Jari Love. Tracy Effinger is unlike any of these but has designed a focused, challenging and fun workout. I'm using it in my rotation with the other ones mentioned above and I always look forward to it and feel fatigues, but great, when I'm done. That's saying something. - posted by Bethany on 4/2/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
