"These workouts are designed to help your body better or adquately/without injury perform the above activities. As a New Yorker who, pretty much daily, walks close to a mile, climbs up and down stairs, hauls a bag/purse, schleps groceries, reaches (for the bar in the subway), sits in front of a computer most of the day, I can appreciate how much surer and stronger I am at performing these activities since beginning these workouts about two months ago. These workouts have shifted my focus from working out simply to lose weight/look good to working out to be able to do what I need/have to do every day for years, and years, and years to come. Now that I've discovered these workouts, I won't do without them."
Wow Wow Wow!!!!!

"Amazing! I just ordered these a few weeks ago, but these DVDs are my new favorites-and so far I have only done 2 of them! (Strength in Movement and the Endurance one). Let me just say that I consider myself to be in pretty good shape but this workout definitely challenged me (I was dripping sweat!) and is a great change of pace.
There are many facets of these videos that I like, but I really enjoy the fact that most of the exercises are unique, compound (working 2 or more muscle groups at once), and really challenge your balance and stabilizer muscles. Like I said, I thought I was in good shape but I had such a hard time staying balanced during a lot of the moves that I realized how much work I have left to do! Also, many of these exercises are VERY unique and tough, and that is amazing considering how many exercise dvds are out there!
A couple of things-The moves are tough, and you may need to go through them a few times before you master them. You also need a variety of hand weights (3-10 lbs.) and a paper plate or rag (there are some sliding moves). Also-good form is CRUCIAL during this video-especially during the balance moves! I have pretty bad knees so I definitely had to keep checking my form because some of the moves go pretty fast. So work at your own pace, but always keep that weight in your heels ;-) All of the videos are over 50 mins. long so it is a nice long workout with a good combination of strength and cardio (at least in SIM and Endurance, I still haven't done the other two yet).
So overall-such an amazing investment! You will not be disappointed, trust me!!!

"I love Tracie. It's really nerdy I know, but everything she does is fantastic. I own many of the old firm, as well as the fitprime she's done. What i love most about the TLT is they are such different moves. They are more like sports drills than your standard lifting and box work. Finding your core took my belly muscles to a whole new level. I love the side plank work in bbbb. Everything is creative, and a great mix with your other work outs."
It's Amazing!

"I have been a fan of the Firm for many years and an even bigger fan of Tracie Long and Susan Harris. These workouts are cutting edge, comprehensive and kick your butt. I highly recommend the entire package."
