Tracie Long Metabolic Strength Vol 5 & Volume 6 - Thoughts

Image
  The  two workouts in Metabolic Strength are Rock Solid which is your Volume 5 and Volume 6 is Heat It Up . Both workouts clock in at around 30 minutes.  The workouts are a combination of compound strength moves and functional cardio. There is no cool down. In both workouts, the workout ends abruptly.  I like the length of the workouts. I did not care for the cardio in Heat it Up, but I like the weight and strength exercises in both workouts. See table to list of exercises.   Rock Solid - 3 & 3/4 stars Heat it Up - 3 & 1/4 stars

Tracie Long Core Movements Volume 5 & 6 - Thoughts

Image
Core Movements Vol 5 & Vol 6 contains two 30-minute workouts. The two workouts are Bottoms Up and Push Back .  The DVD cover has Vol 5 as Bottoms Up and Vol 6 as Push Back. When you bring up the DVD menu, it is opposite. Push Back is listed  as Vol 5 and Bottoms Up as Vol 6. These two workouts feature intense exercises for the core and lower body. Tracie throws in posture, balance and mobility work as well. I really liked both of these workouts.  See table for list of exercises. Bottoms Up - 4 stars  Push Back - 3 & 3/4 stars
