Certified instructor description: This is "Abcentric," one of four very similar Metamorphosis sets. It's dance-oriented and mostly "cuing free" — you'll just follow Tracy's movements as you listen to the music. The freestyle cardio program combines bouncy dance steps with varied arm patterns. The toning series is a 90-day progression — every ten days, you'll advance to a faster, more challenging workout. Each program features a short, standing upper-body segment followed by abs and lower-body floorwork (while this series is "abcentric," it's not "abs only" — a significant portion of the workout targets other body parts). The core-focused moves include lots of planks and side-lying leg lifts (always integrating diverse position and range-of-motion variations). Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. This complete "infomercial" set has four DVDs, a tape measure, fitness guide, food plan and workout tracker. ©2010. DVD has: Music only option, Spanish subtitle option.

Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis - Abcentric

Best Workout Ever!!

I have used the Firm, Jullian Michaels and other DVDs but I always would become bored and so I never stuck with it. I saw this advertised on TV and it interested me because every 10 days the routine changes and I liked the fact that the moves were more dance like than your typical arm workout so I gave it a try. I also like that you can mute the dvd and play your own music in the background. In the year I have been doing this workout I had went from a size 10 to a size 2. I didn't follow her diet because I am a foodie so I just controlled my portions and ate what I wanted in moderation. I just started Year 2 continuity today and plan to keep it up as long as Tracy keeps making them. She is amazing and truly changed my life and more importantly my lifestyle! - posted by Melissa on 4/25/2013

Love it or hate it.

I love this workout. It truly works. It is hard and has many reps, but my body has changed for the first time in 2 years of working out 6 times a week. You have to get used to the movements, but if you can motivate yourself to stick with it, you will see results. I've done it 25 times, and my husband is amazed at the results so far. - posted by Sue on 4/6/2013

Are you kidding me?

Totally unsuitable for older adults who want to lose belly fat. No cuing, jumping up and down, planking and knee extensions. Too difficult. - posted by Lynn on 3/20/2013

My knees were killing me!

I was not crazy about this workout. Not what I expected. My knees were absolutely killing me. If you have weak knees, don't buy this. - posted by Jackie on 3/12/2013

It works!

I have done Jari Love- Cathe- Jillian Michaels- Jackie Warner-Chris Freytag- so far this is the only work out that I have seen a change in my body-I have a bad apple shape-and so far Tracy is the only one that has changed my body shape-it's hard-lots of reps and my knees were starting to hurt-had to put towel under knee for support! I do not like the cardio (dancing and bouncing is no fun) I like HIIT (Chris Freytags!!) - posted by Miss M on 3/10/2013

Not bad.

I really don't know this instructor and saw that she came out with a lot of workouts all at the same time. I figured I am going to try one. I have to say, it is a very different workout, moves, etc...I wasn't crazy about it but felt pretty worked out when done. - posted by Tanya on 3/5/2013

Comments:

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.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
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.

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).

Spanish subtitle option

This video is instructed in English, but you can also choose to see Spanish subtitles.

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.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

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.

Aerobics & Toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
