Tracie Long's Longevity: Leaning Out |
  Complete workout in a short amount of time. |
| Love Traci Long. She has been my favorite instructor since the Original Firm workouts. Traci's workouts aren't killers, but they are effective. She always uses new and original moves and I love her knowledge and enthusiasm about fitness. Looking forward to getting Staying Power and Reboot 2. - posted by Lita on 2/27/2012 |

| challenging and fun |
| I've been using fitness videos for 20 years, and Tracie Long's latest work ranks among my favorites. I favor weight work but wanted more functional and less traditional movements than Cathe or Jari's approaches (both of whom I appreciate.) Tracie works fast and very fluidly (you can see Yoga and dance influences in the weight/toning routines.) Instead of simply pumping your arms up in down in a traditional bicep curl, she'll demonstrate a technique that will extend the plane of motion. The high impact "cardio boosts" are easily modified for those of us who have joint issues. I also enjoyed the music and her teaching style. No annoying cheerleading or distracting "fitness patter". I just purchased two more of her recent DVDs on the strength on this one. Thanks Collage. - posted by leslie on 5/31/2011 |

| Creative and challenging! |
| I like Tracie's style. You do have to THINK during this workout because she moves quick and her sequencing is a bit unusual (i.e. she performs multiple exercises on one side before coming back to the other.) Definitely not boring, but not for a day you just want to go on auto-pilot- at least not til you learn the routine. I liked this the very first time I used it, which isn't always the case. I felt great at the end. Unique workout that was challenging but not killer. Recommend! - posted by Melissa on 5/24/2011 |

| loved it |
| Tracie's one of my favourite instructors and she does not disappoint in this one. I love the way she mixes up traditional weight work and functional fitness. Even the floorwork was fun (but the pushup section is seriously hard). She moves quickly, and even though I couldn't get all of the moves on the first attempt, her cuing was so good that I usually picked everything up pretty quickly and had a lot of fun trying. If you're an intermediate exerciser who's got some experience with the Firms, you'll probably really like this one. I can't wait to do it again. - posted by Cat on 5/12/2011 |

| So fun! |
| I've tried Tracie Long before but didn't click with her. I took a chance on this one and just loved it! It is definitely not boring. Tracie uses some unique moves that keep you thinking during the workout, i.e. tempo changes and more. There is a bit of a learning curve with this workout as I was not able to follow along perfectly the first time. I still got an excellent workout and of course you learn to anticipate what's next with repeated use. Sometimes I'm not so much a fan of that, simply wanting to work out and get it done, but I feel this one is worth it. I have many, many workouts, but this one will get plenty of use. I look forward to seeing more of Tracie! - posted by Melissa on 5/11/2011 |

| Too easy for advanced |
| I was not happy with this DVD. I expected a much harder workout. Tracy was pleasant and if you are at a beginner or intermediate level, this would be good. But, not for advanced! - posted by Shelley on 3/30/2011 |

| Great total body workout |
| I must say I really like this workout! Its a total body workout that flows wonderfully.I love the different moves its not your same old basic weight workout. If your looking for a total body workout with a great instructor don't pass this one up! - posted by TW on 3/21/2011 |

| Pretty good |
| I am a 47 year old intermediate to advanced exerciser who has looked for more challenging workouts in the past 4 months or so. That's led me to Cathe Friedrich's series, which I love. But, Tracie Long still remains my favorite. I love her direct but friendly manner, and she's the same in this video. I have a few things I didn't like about this one though. Her voice is, as one other reviewer said, muffled at times, or too quiet under the music. I too, didn't like the pushup section, but some might. I did find her cuing a bit late sometimes too; she'd be saying what to do AS she did it, instead of cuing ahead of time. I think I'm also learning that I like to do my cardio separately from weight training. These issues aside though, I think this is a unique workout with lots of variety and good energy. I worked up somewhat of a sweat, just not enough for me for a cardio workout, and not enough weight work to call it a weight workout. Definitely an intermediate workout. She remains my favorite instructor though. - posted by Marlene on 3/6/2011 |

| Pleasantly surprised! |
| I have the first four workouts in Tracie's Longevity series and like them all, but almost didn't order this one. Based on the description and breakdown, I didn't think I would like it. Happily, I was wrong! This is my favorite workout of the series so far. The music is great, the moves are fun and well sequenced, and the push-ups are so unique! I prefer my morning workouts to be close to an hour long, so I often repeat the cardio segment to make the workout 57-58 minutes long. - posted by Jane on 3/3/2011 |
