Congratulations Suzie!! Fantastic results!!
macska, I would try TA's free clips to see if you even like her wos and personality. rosepetals started a thread with a link to all her free wos. I've been doing TA's Meta and Continuity for a long time but they are add-ons to other wos.

I do her cardio everytime I do a MS workout. I usually do 20 minutes (either Teen meta or 20 minutes of the cardio on my current level). I sometimes do the 30 minutes of cardio, but if I do 30 minutes consistently, my body complains. It's too much for me. If I'm really strapped for time I just do 10 minutes from her book, but that doesn't happen more than about 1 time per month. Sometimes I'll substitute Tonique express cardio (13 minutes). |

Doing TA really made me less hungry to be honest. I think there's a thread about that somewhere. |

If you're looking to increase your fitness levels, I think TA's best results are endurance and coordination for the core and hips/butt. If you're doing other challenging workouts, I don't think you'll find TA's upper body or leg (quad, calves, hamstring) work to be particularly challenging when you get used to doing it. But if you're advanced, I do think you can get benefits from the butt/hips/core work. It's somewhat reminiscent, for me, of TRX -- at least when I took a TRX class, it reminded me of TA, and I was able to keep up really well thanks to having done a lot of TA. TA's cardio is int-adv to adv (by collage video standards, IMO). It is more varied than other types of cardio routines, though, so I find that doing TA's cardio doesn't negatively affect my flexibility like other forms of cardio do (e.g. running).
As for aesthetic results: thinner arms, flatter stomach and a particular type of definition (lines on each side, one down the middle, and "v" at the bottom - but no 4 or 6 pack, if that makes sense). Butt will likely lift (if there's enough mass there to be lifted), but TA's exercises won't generally add mass to your butt (but see: certain, later Continuity sequences that also use ankle weights). You won't see a ton of quad or calve definition - though you will see definition in your calves if you do her high impact cardio. BTW, Suzie, CONGRATS on your results. Those pics are amazing! You should feel so accomplished!

I did TA to a T (minus the diet). An hr MS work and hr DC. I got good results for sure, and my mommy tummy went down so much. At some point though I think I regressed in my results. Then I got pregnant again. I did her stuff all through my pregnancy and that was AMAZING. It worked all my transverse in my abs BEAUTIFULLY, and I literally didn't look pregnant the day after having him. I just looked fat lol. But I mean really, the transverse were so buff that it held in my belly as soon as he wasn't in it any more. I was doing continuity and meta by the way while pregnant. Then I did her postpartum work outs (both of them) a week after. I felt pretty good, but just honestly felt a little burnt out of her after doing it for three years. Also I felt like for all the work, I was "teeny-tiny" but wasn't as buff looking as I wanted. I wanted some guns to show for my work lol. Anyways, she really really does work, but I'm not sure each system of continuity is as good as others.

Anyone do TA with other cardio? I'm not very coordinated to do dance cardio I think. |
