Hi/Lo Med Ball

As promised, here is more information about my favorite Fit by Tracey workouts that have been a part of my routine lately.

Okay, I admit I pre-ordered Hi/Lo Med Ball because I really wanted a med ball cardio workout. I guess I didn't read the description. ;-0 I wasn't working for Tracey when she filmed it, but I did write the back cover copy for it before it was released. So I had to preview the workout to know what to say. It took me a little while to get over my disappointment that it wasn't all med ball cardio. Actually, it took until I tried it the first time!

Why do I love it? It has a little bit of dance mixed in with a little bit of athletic cardio. I can feel the dance influence in the athletic parts, and I can feel the athletic influence in the dancier parts. The music drives the workout. It's just plain fun! Tracey and crew look like they're having fun; that probably helps. There's a little impact, but not so much that it just wears me out jumping around.

Then, there are the 2 med ball sections. I love a good standing core workout, and the first med ball section fits the bill. In fact, the entire workout works your core pretty well. To be honest, I usually move the final section to the end, after the cool down. But it's chaptered...so I can do that. ;-)

The cool down is fun. But, Tracey, seriously? Where did you develop that balance?? I have to tell you, I don't "shake it" while I'm standing on one foot, but if you can balance like Tracey, I guess that might be fun too.

I like to do that entire workout, but if I'm short on time, I can choose to do the dance premix or the athletic premix. More good options!

So, if you haven't tried Hi/Lo Med Ball, you can click on the links in this post and order it for 9.99 + shipping from now through Sunday, January 23. If you'd like to preview it first, just go to Tracey's DVD page, scroll down to Hi/Lo Med Ball, and click the cover.

Enjoy!
