- Tracy Anderson - Metamorphosis by Tracy - Abcentric - 4 DVD Set

I got the CD's but I never got an email with links for the other information I was supposed to get, ie.meal plans, calendar... Update: I received links and was able to download them. The CD's were delivered quickly and I have already started the workout, day four today. The workout is a bit of a challenge getting used to the moves, but I do notice tight areas already loosening up. Weird. It's like a Qigong workout. So far I would recommend the set as well as seller.

I really have this my best shot but today I will list it on EBay.I agree with other reviewers that her lack of instruction makes it so hard to follow along and I am familiar with her Method.Not only that,but my Abs look awful since using this program-I remember someone saying they had "donut abs" since doing her program and that's what mine look like- squishy on the sides and flatter in the middle-not encouraging.Plus my knees hurt from being on all fours-I even bought a thicker mat and it didn't help.I'm an advanced excerciser and highly recommend the Tonique dvd's by Sylwia Weisenberg.She has moves similar to Tracy's but with much better cueing.I do like many of Tracy's workouts,just not MetamorphisiS.I love Mat,Perfect Design,Precision Toning and her new Method Express.I feel that Metamorphisis was a lot of hype and overpriced for the lack of instruction and dread factor.I know some people got great results from this but I did not.I personally get much better results using my Classic strength workouts-I know Tracy does not believe in heavier weights but I find that less concentrated Abs work and lifting weights 3-4times a week is what hollows out my Abs.I am 48 with 3 kids and I also tried Hipcentric,which by the way seems almost identical to Abcentric

DVDs arrived way before the expected delivery date. Very happy about that! I also got the links to meal plans, calendar and even a weekly grocery shopping list. Loved that! I lost 8 pounds in the first 10 days. I love the muscular workouts and I've gotten to really enjoy the cardio now. I'm doing the omnicentric but bought the abcentric to try later. I followed the meal plan and it has taught me to really watch what I eat. Tracy Anderson is the best method to get into great shape!

This version only has the DVDs and none of the diet plan and measuring tape additions to it. You can look up the recipes online and use your own tape but don't think you're getting a deal on the full set. The diet is rough. Eating mush for a week will make you cranky but I sucked it up and looked forward to my week of solids. I don't really get the week of mush because I do chew my food and it ends up in the same state when I swallow it. However, solids week is your 600-700 calorie week so its more of a starvation crankiness. I didn't lose any weight despite the major calorie deficit I'm guessing because my body was in starvation mode. Unfortunately when I had to stop the workout and I went back to eating normally (vegan, no junk food, less than 1700/day) I ended up gaining weight since my body thought it needed to hoard calories. So that blows. As far as the exercise portion, I haven't gotten past level 3 in this because I'm scared to death of restarting it and injuring myself again. First, I did not do the cardio because its essentially jumping up and down the entire time which isn't my cup of tea due to lower back issues so I did my own that's not as rough on the spine. The bulk of each session are leg lifts. HUNDREDS of leg lifts a day. I wasn't really sure how this was going to help my abs but I went with it and very quickly noticed a change in my butt but not my stomach just yet. By the third set of lessons the leg lifts incorporate more of a side bend as you are on hands and knees and when you lift your leg to the side you bring your knee to your shoulder. This is what led to my injury. It only took reaching for something on a shelf for me to have an excruciating pain rip across the side of my ribcage and under my shoulder blade making it hard to breathe. It was one of the most painful experiences I have ever had in my life and had I not been able reach my boyfriend on his phone I was going to have to call 911 (no idea what i would've done if my phone hadn't been in my pocket). I spent 2 hours writhing and screaming in pain before he was able to pull me up off the floor to take me to the ER. The Dr determined it was a muscle spasm and my arm was in a sling for several days. It took nearly 2 months for me to even consider working out again and when I tried one of those knee to shoulder leg lifts I could feel exactly where the spasm shot across my side. I do yoga and am generally pretty flexible so that injury really surprised me. I don't feel like that rigorous a workout, 6 days a week is just not good for somebody who isn't already in top athletic shape (and why would you need this if you were?). While I enjoyed the rearview results I will never again attempt to do this routine in its diet plan and exercise schedule entirety. I *MIGHT* attempt the training part again because it really did show results but I'll switch to every other day and not do the full movements to the side. Be VERY careful with this routine, Tracy warns you not to modify or leave something out but I can tell you its not worth injuring yourself. If you want to do it (I do not deny it brings results) listen to your body, eat healthy food in smaller portions, and lighten up on the routines if you need to.

Love the workout so far. I’m excited about sticking to the routine and to see the final results. Consistency is the key for all workout routines.

Very pleased with the product and price. If you subscribe to Tracy Anderson online it will cost $100/month. She does great things but for this dvd set you save so much money and get the very same thing. Anxious to get started. Service was excellent. Packaging was great and delivery very fast. I can recommend this seller.

I was very much so looking forward to receiving my new Tracy Anderson set and was very let down to see the DVDs only. Going back and checking the fine print i see it listed, but VERY misleading. All of the reviews are about the content of the program, NOT that this seller is skimping on the full package. They offered to email, but without a printer you are screwed. DOUBLE CHECK before ordering if you want the full set, diet plan, tape measure, etc.
