i mentioned in this post that i'm doing a thirty day challenge so i thought i would share some of my favorite moves with you that i've learned from my tracy anderson dvd's...
- great for thighs and butt -
get on all fours, take your leg out to the side and then cross it over your opposite leg - do at least thirty-five reps on each leg
- great for butt, thighs and side abs -
grab a chair while on all fours with one hand on the chair and the other on the ground. lift the opposite leg from the arm that is holding the chair and lift straight back, bend that leg forward at a diagonal while bringing the chair forward - do at least thirty-five reps on each leg
- my favorite ab move -
lay with legs and arms outstretched while holding no more than three pound weights (i use two), bring your arms out towards your legs while pulling your legs in a frog like position - repeat at least forty times never letting your legs touch the ground
these are just a few of my favorite moves - let me know if you try any
remember, don't use more than three pound weights!
i use two pounds...

have any of you tried TA's method?
what do you think?

OMG! You are hilarious!!! Love the moves..;-)
yay! Keep it up cutie! That looks intense. My problem with working out is that I get bored. I have to constantly find new ways to work out. I think that's why I loved dance classes so much. Fun and always different. You look great!

I take it your power is back on..
Thanks for sharing your workouts and meals - I love seeing what people are doing when it comes to health and fitness - it's motivating! Keep up the good work - you look great!
I've never tried Tracy Anderson's moves but it looks pretty strenuous (a good thing) - I'm actually doing a daily Mitch Gaylord routine (will be blogging about it soon). I am a new follower from Follow Me Chickadee! http://cakeblast.com
Hi Kassi! I actually just started one of her videos after seeing an article about how she trains Gwyneth paltrow. And love it because it works you out but it is still gentle, which is something I need. I am already a follower but have a new blog about my train up for a marathon now that I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism! Check if out when you get a chance at http://262tothefinishline.blogspot.com/

This is awesome! I really need to start doing some workouts now, but I'm having a hard time finding time with everything! I'm heading over to check out the blog with the 30 day fitness challenge!
P.S. - I LOVE your Toms shoes!! My husband was just groomsman in a wedding where the entire wedding party wore Toms shoes. I thought it was so adorable!
I'd love for you to stop by my blog!

i'm sad the video link isn't working :(. maybe you can e-mail it to me some time. i'm super excited to try out these moves! thanks for sharing friend!
xo. thanks.
Ummm...how do you survive on crackers for lunch? I would wither away and not have any energy for workouts if I ate like you! Make sure you are getting enough protein and stuff...crazy girl! Love you!
Hey Kass-
I finally got around to doing these yesterday and they were pretty challenging! That last ab one was great! Thanks for sharing!!
