Many big actresses, musicians, and celebrities have used the Tracy Anderson Method to shed pounds and get into fantastic shape. Gwyneth Paltrow likes her stuff so much that she's become a business partner. According to Tracy Anderson, here method is based on scientific research and many years of experience. She says her workout and diet plan reshapes the body, tones the muscles, and "defies genetics" to drop weight rapidly.
The most unique thing about the Anderson Method is that it focuses on working the small stabilizer or "accessory" muscles, instead of the big major muscle groups (like the quadriceps and bicep muscles). According to Anderson doing this create a longer, leaner, more balanced look and not the bulked-up look woman apparently want to avoid.
The problem with that is that it's kind of BS. It's very easy for women to avoid getting big "bulky"-looking muscles. You don't have to focus on small stabilizer muscles. Compound, multi-joint exercises that work major muscle groups -- like squats, lunges, pull-ups, and push-ups -- are proven to burn fat, build sexy lean muscle mass, and give you faster results than single-joint exercises (like bicep curls).
Many reviews of the Tracy Anderson Method are not so great. Some claim it leaves you starving and nearly "blacking out" from hunger! Several fitness expert reviews are more negative than positive. Still though, millions of people -- including dozens of A-list celebs -- love Tracy's weight loss method... so it can't be all bad!
We way: What's wrong with a girl have some real muscle and definition?? We LOVE all those fit, buff, sexy fitness models. The Tracy Anderson Method might be OK if you want the "soft dancer" look but we hope most ladies stick to free weights and Crossfit workouts! :)

What's wrong with having real muscle and definition? Nothing, if you're not trying to work as a professional dancer. It may be an obstacle if you are, since dancers have needs that aren't met by standard gym workouts. There have been an awful lot of posts by people comparing this method to the usual weights and cardio, which is like comparing applies and oranges. I would be interested in seeing a comparison between her method and other former dancers' methods as far as effectiveness, safety and just plain enjoyability. There are lots of dance based workouts out there and have been since long before she came on the scene, such as Jennifer Kries, Karen Voight, Core Fusion, Physique 57, Tracy Mallett, and the list goes on. And they all focus on small muscles.
ReplyDeleteHow about a review from someone comparing these kinds of programs. Thank you.
