Tracie Long Better Burn Better Buns - Thoughts







Better Burn Better Buns is a functional fitness workout that is 55 minutes in length and it is led by Tracie Long. The workout uses a rag or you can use a paper plate or gliding disc to work the lower body. There are about 4 sets of lower body work using the rag. There is also some standing single leg isolation work. The types of moves that you are doing are leg lifts, zig zags, single leg squats, push lunges, standing shootouts.. - all using the rag or your own body weights. No dumbbells are used.
The workout also has medicine ball cardio and core sets. I thought the medicine ball routines fun. However, they are repetitive . You are repeating the same group of moves about 8 time through but I find this is typical for a Tracie Long workout. The moves are simple , repetitive and allow for full execution and the majority of the time you have cool music that you’re performing the move to so the repetitiveness of it doesn’t bug me. Some of the cardio moves, are hurdlers, X marks the spot, and stir the pot.


Like the other Tracie Long Training workouts this workout has a beginner modifier and an advance modifier. In this workout, the beginner modifier is showing several moves performed with a balance stick or dowel or you can use a broom. Also Tracie and the advance modifier use this tool in the two core segments. One core segment at the beginning of the workout is a series of core moves and in this segment, you are using the dowel as a guide – moving your feet and hands over it. The other core segment is at the end of the workout and you are using the dowel as resistance and to increase the intensity and range during ab crunch work.

Better Body Better Burn is my favorite of the four Tracie Long Training (TLT) workouts.
