Tracie Long Functional Foundations and Functional Core

WRITER

Cathlete
I've seen these workouts mentioned in various posts here and on other websites. The feedback seems overall positive. I finally looked at Tracie Long's website, and there's not a lot of information about these workouts. Are these advanced workouts, comparable in intensity to Cathe? Is the production quality good? Do you have to buy the "band" she lists as necessary equipment separately? I did not like Strong Bear -- if that's so, will I not like these? I will appreciate any input into these workouts. Thanks -- always looking for variety!!
 
I haven't been on Cathe for a few days, so I had to search for my post. Clare, I take it you don't like these workouts? I've recently read some things about poor production quality. Is that your take?
 
RE: Tracie Long Functional Foundations and Functional C...

No, completely and truthfully, they are just not my style of workout at all.

I'm a straight up, no nonsense kind of person and a few people on these boards may have guesssed this about me already. I am not a big proponent of circuit style workouts (apart from Circuit max, love that one!) or workouts that have you stopping and starting different exercises at what I perceive to be all over the place. That's why I could never play tennis. Too much stopping to collect and pick up balls! And that's why I loved running when younger: you start and you keep going til you're done!! One size activity fits all. Or, fits me!

I am not a big fan of "superficial innovation" i.e. using paper plates for my core workout or medicine balls because they are the latest fitness gadget.

Just give me leaner Legs and Step Blast every time!

So, that's why these workouts are for sale: my whole personality screams: NO!!!!!!

And now I've really sold them to you, huh?!?!?!

Ha!

Well, as a huge fan of LL, SB, and CM -- I'm following your lead and leaning away from TLP! Actually, I like many circuit workouts, but I also want Terminator, and I'm thinking of going in that direction instead of TLP. I did see that there are several folks on the video exchange list at video fitness who are looking for some Tracie Longs -- if you want to try the trading route. Thanks for your response!
