Squeeze: Stronger with Tracy Effinger |
  Different, but effective |
| I have only done this workout one time and I am sure it will grow on me. I am an advanced workout "athlete" used to using heavy weights. I used a mere 5 lb and 3 lb dumbbell for the upper body and my muscles were screaming. I was surprised there were no weights used in the lower body section. My one negative comment that is really why I only gave this workout 3 stars is, there was essentially no warm up and the premixes were difficult to use as is. This is not Tracy's fault, but like others have mentioned the lack of good formatting is a big negative. The stretching was good, but when you work your muscles this deeply, there should be a decent warm up for both the upper body and lower body premixes. The entire workout is time consuming. The exercises were different enough that I know I will be very sore tomorrow. I had to be very mindful of some of the moves as I am older, and don't want an injury. This will have an occasional spot in my rotations. - posted by Karen on 3/14/2010 |

| Really Like This! |
| I own Squeeze and have recently added Squeeze Stronger to my collection. I really like being able to tone without using heavy weights. It's really not necessary to sling rocks around to build muscle. Work smarter, not harder. Tracy will show you how. I highly recommend these workouts. - posted by Steph on 2/14/2010 |

| Gets better the more you use it |
| This is one of those routines that gets better after several attempts. I first tried the upper body and lower body segments separately but found running through the complete routine much more effective (maybe it was just the dvd editing? I'm a long time intermediate exerciser (45 yr. old) and find the squeeze program changes things up and is good for the days I'm tired or sore from heavy weights, squats, lunges, etc. It also gives explicit instruction about your form & posture i.e. why bother exercising if you are going to slump? - posted by anne on 2/5/2010 |

| Beauty!! Brain!s!! Body!! |
| I do it all as far as excercise!!!! The Toughest, Cathe, Jari, I add pilates and yoga, and run at least 30 miles per week. HELLO!!!...this video is awesome. It is well structured hits all the muscle groups....if you are not sore after this one..something is wrong. Tracy, went to Princeton, her intelligence, shines through. She talks about posture, my mother always talked about posture...says a lot about how you feel about yourself, and how others perceive you, so very true in life. !!! This video is tops on my list and I see results! - posted by TED on 12/28/2009 |

| Not for me |
| I really, really wanted to like this and Tracy's other two workouts, but I just didn't. To me, the workouts are incredibly boring. I don't like the set, music or Tracy's personality. Additionally, the leg work was incredibly hard on my knees. The Lotte Burke style plies just killed them, no matter how I tried to modify. Unfortunately, I now own all three workouts. Maybe I'll dig them out again in a year or so, but there are too many workouts out there that keep me engaged and pain free, so I don't think I will. - posted by Deana on 12/26/2009 |

| 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 |
