What I really should do is find one of my super fat pictures from collage and one from now lol. I wasn't always a "skinny girl" that's for sure. And speaking about "advanced work outs" I can still do them just fine. I can do Cathe's terminator with no problem. I do her Hiit work outs as ad ons just fine. I can do the gym style, STS, and all hers with no problems thank you very much. I can jump in and do P90x with my husband as a second work out. I'm in fine shape, and still find TA kicks my butt way worse.

I'm not flabby either but I am now. That was my point. I had been doing doing barre since 1984. After following this program..... for me anyways it's not giving me the results I would have expected. When I looked back at my training journal I figured it was the lack of lowerbody work ....for me anyways. It's like training in a certain way then removing 3/4 of the exercise & expecting change.If I wanted to stick it out for a year to see if it would work, I could but I'd rather have no flab now!

Wow, as a clear beginner (since TA is not for the advanced), good thing I had never tried any advanced workouts in the past...like the rounds of STS, CLX, and TurboFire I have done over the last several years. Carrie ETA: and I am just not sure how I am losing this weight since her workouts don't burn a lot of calories. I guess I need a new HRM since mine says that in the 30 minutes of dance cardio, I burn about 500 calories. Must be a faulty gadget! |

I agree that every person is different and we can't assume anything about them. Some things work for others while other things don't. We also want to achieve different looks and our eating habits are different. The latter is a big part of our success. For me personally, I can't follow a TA rotation as is because I like to work out with different instructors. However, I will say that doing TA Abcentrics 2x a week has made me lose inches in my waist. I'm happy with that especially since I'm an apple.
But my best results for legs/butt was last year when I was doing 200 kb swings a day along with Tonique, barre, high reps/low weights workouts like SS, Jari, etc. So I was basically working my legs really hard (in terms of reps) every day. Since there are only so many hours in the day, I had to replace two of the leg workouts with Abcentrics. So even though I didn't gain any inches in my legs/butt, I don't think it looks as good as they did last year either. This was my results last month. I'm facing a different challenge this month (mostly trying to fit in exercise with my daughter's new school/dance schedule) and don't even want to take any measurements at the end of this month.

I have been doing Glute Centric for only 3 weeks so far ( I started it earlier this year but took the summer off to concentrate more on my mountain biking).This time I'm only doing 6 days of each 10 day cycle with one day off. I use cycling for my cardio or I use her cardio on the rebounder if I don't have time for a ride. Today I was really kind of shocked at how great my legs are looking as well as my arms and abs. So, I guess I'll keep at it.
Also, I have 3 lower disc bulges and I'm really concentrating on the moves (slow and methodical) and my back is feeling much better and stronger. I'm sure the on-all-fours is strengthening my core as well as my Glutes. But, really, if you feel you need more leg work. Why not just add it in? I'm pretty sure you won't get arrested. |

Annie, This is me even though I really don't lift super heavy, I really concentrate on form. When you focus and use your mind a really feel what your doing I don't think you need superheavy weight. Today For instance & the other day I'm doing Aerobox rotation, I just got 2# gloves and let me tell you there was no way the other day that I could even think about doing a kb or other uppebod weight workout. My arms are on FIRE!! I think TA for me really changed my abs so I was hoping it would do the same for my butt which was in good condition to start. Her fw is crazy & so different from anything I have done that I just wanted an even better, firmer, tighter butt! Dare to Dream
