This 4 dvd set FOCUSes on the areas most affected by the aging process – flabby arms, sagging butt, slow metabolism and stiff joints. These anti-aging workouts create upper body definition, tighter butts, limber joints and increased metabolism.Find your focus. Make the time. Do it for YOU. Lift Higher A no-nonsense workout that tones your lower body with a diverse series of well-sequenced movements. Tracie’s attention to detail is exceptionally motivating and effective (e.g. a plié with your toes, buttocks and pelvis precisely positioned is simply more effective than a “sloppy” version). The first section uses subtly intensified standing exercises (e.g. with dumbbells and zero momentum). The second segment features skating-style movements with your feet sliding on a towel (you’ll need paper plates for carpet). The last, all-floorwork series includes bridges, hydrants and more sliding exercises. Requires 3 to 10 lb. dumbbells. ©2010Kick Back A kickbox-style program that works your upper and lower body as it blasts calories. Like the original “The Firm” videos, it’s an intense mix of high-energy cardio and dumbbell toning. The first section uses light weights to make classic jabs and punches more challenging (with less momentum). The second segment sculpts your lower body with near-aerobic-paced lunges, squats and kicks. The third section features varied floorwork exercises that target your upper body and core. Easy-to-follow cuing with excellent between-move transitions. Requires two sets of dumbbells (e.g. 3 lb. and 5 lb.). ©2010. Power UpA wide variety of moves in a compact, very challenging program. Similar in intensity to the early “The Firm” step workouts, it’s a diverse blend of aerobics and toning (Tracie was an original Firm Master instructor). The first section burns calories with powerful, high-impact jumps (up on the step, and then off). The second segment intermixes step aerobics with wide-ranging, off-step movements. The last section features a medley of equally-intense body-sculpting exercises (e.g. on-step, “plyometric push-ups” are tough!). Straight-forward, one-on-one cuing. ©2010. Reach Further A rhythmic blend of yoga, Pilates and modern dance. Designed to improve strength, balance and flexibility, it’s unusually energizing and fluid (no lengthly, static stretches). You’ll start with an extended “warm-up” — gently flowing reaching and opening moves. That’s followed by yoga/Pilates floorwork that includes lots of deep stretches plus a short ab toning series. It all ends with standing yoga postures that will lengthen and strengthen your entire body. Note: The workout is intermediate level, but it does include some challenging balance positions. ©2010.Level: Inter/Advan
