Tracie Long Stronger Longer Volume Two - Thoughts

Stronger Longer Volume Two is a 50 minute workout.  Tracie tells you in the introduction that this workout was designed to improve mobility.
The chapters on this DVD are:
1. Warm up
2. Overhead Snatch, Biceps, and Push ups
3. Single Leg Hops and Skaters
4. Side lunges, triceps, and Single Arm Rows
5. Split Lunge and Bird Dog Core
6. Touchdown jump and burpees
7.  Goblet Squats and lunges
8.  Windmills
9.  Posture Exercises
10.Thoracic Mobility Exercise
11. Stretch

I did not like the warm up at all. Tracie does tell you that "the warm is a little bit different". I didn't feel properly warm for some of the exercise. It was a slow warm up. In fact the whole work can be characterized as slow and controlled movements.  Most of the warm is floor based.  There is stretching with isolation moves.
After the warm up you move into the workout.  Tracie uses dumbbells and a med ball, although the med ball in this workout wasn't really used for cardio. The med ball was mostly used as a prop.  Like Volume One, Volume Two is more resistance work than cardio. The resistance work include functional and body weight exercises.

I like this workout a little bit better than Volume One.
3 & 1/4 stars
