Tracy Anderson is the hottest fitness guru who is shaping up the Hollywood’s A-list right now. She has helped 33-year-old mom of two, Gwyneth Paltrow shed her baby belly and Madonna transform her body into that of a professional dancer-thin, long and lean. She claims that her clients lose about nine inches from the stomach and thighs in the first ten sessions, and that’s a good number, really! Her work out called ‘Dancer’s Workout’ is a combination of the Pilates techniques, diet and aerobics. If you are someone who believes that the shape of your body is in your genes and you can’t do anything about it, then Tracy will be glad to prove it all wrong. She says that she can transform a woman with any body shape into that of a professional dancer. She has designed her own version of the Pilates machine called the Hybrid Body Reformer, which has a moving pulley system that hits the muscles from different angles and these allow umpteen numbers of positions, all of which mimic dancing movements. What is Tracy’s approach? She believes that waking up the muscles that are weak is the key to shaping up. Instead of building up the major muscle groups in the abs, she focuses on muscles around them. She says: When the accessory muscles are properly developed, they pull in the larger ones, creating a tinier body structure. In this way you can reshape your body. She charges $30-$40 /session and recommends a minimum of three months of training and that’s not a big amount to get that great body. Not all of us can afford to have her as our personal trainer or her Pilates machine, so she plans to come up with a fitness DVD that’ll take you through her fitness route. If you are impatient like me, and can’t wait to start off, check out some of the moves designed by her for a lifestyle magazine and get that fabulous body you’ve been dreaming of. Source
