Tracie Long has some fantastic new dvds out! I had the pleasure of trying her Focus: Breakthrough workout and, as expected, she did not disappoint! I have been a fan of Tracie since her classic Firm days and am so happy to see new dvds from her! I CAN NOT wait to try her newest: Tracie Long’s Longevity: Defined Lines and Tracie Long’s Focus: Weightless !
Re view: Focus: Breakthrough, Vol. 5
Tracie Long, 2010
This is a 30 minute workout that is chaptered into one 20 min cardio medball workout (Have a Ball) and a 10 minute core workout (Whittle Your Middle). Tracie works out alone on a raised platform in a gym style set w/ brick walls. You will need a 2.5 to 6 lb medball for this workout.
Tracie does a great job of blending medball cardio with functional fitness moves to create a smooth flowing sweat fest! She utlizes the med ball in fun & unique ways to enhance both the cardio and functional exercises. She includes some great balance work and focuses on stopping/ starting moves.
E xercises include : After a nice warmup you move into: hip shift hops, jacks, plyo lunges, cross county skiing, ball weaves while walking forward & skating back, jumping heel clicks, figure 8′s, jump- side lunge, balance knee hops, crescent lunge w/ hops, squat- floor touch- overhead push, balance knee ball passes, shot puts, windmill, chops, knee pulls and ends with a quick stretch.
If you are a fan of Tracie and/or med ball workouts- this is a must have . I feel that she improved on (the much loved) TLT’s by adding more intensity and more cardio in this workout. She does an excellent job of blending the two (cardio & function fitness) genre’s into a well flowing cardio workout. Tracies cuing and form, as always, are impeccable. She does a fantastic job of creating fun, high energy workouts! I received this dvd to review. I rate this a solid intermediate workout. I received this dvd to review.
