Certified instructor description: A unique “hip focused” program that includes a varied mix of creative exercises. It’s designed to open the hips and strengthen their surrounding muscles while also increasing your body’s overall flexibility and balance. Your hips are constantly in motion through fast-changing planes, angles and positions (e.g. “lunge, lunge back, high hurdle, two quick presses and end with a scissors jump”). You'll target all sides of the hips (moving in and out, as well as forward and backward). Includes both standing and floorwork. Requires ankle weights, gliding discs and a workout dowel; paper plates and a chair would work. ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Tracie Long's Figure 30: Hips

2nd viewing didn't help
Did this workout twice before commenting. The description may say "unique" moves - - odd is more like it. 2nd time around didn't help it. Some moves are just awkward - and don't see what they will accomplish. Didn't work up a sweat, and some of the stretch moves were awkward also. I also like Tracie - however, it is like she is trying too hard to be "different". - posted by Dotti on 2/11/2012
Hips
I was extremely disappointed, Too fast - posted by Bridie on 2/4/2012
Love this workout
I have been using video workouts for 25 years, now in my 40's. Tracie Long is my current favourite. This workout absolutely works every part of your hip joint. I agree the sequencing is hard to anticipate, but she gets around to evening up both sides, so I try to chill and know we'll do the other side at some point! I like her straight forward style and fast pace. Gets a lot covered in 30 minutes. The stretch is unique. There's nothing else I've seen quite like this with its mix of balance and muscular toning all done at once. Love it! - posted by Lucy, AUSTRALIA on 2/4/2012
She lost me
Totally agree with Cheryl. Too complicated choreograpy--I just ended up standing there scratching my head. The moves could have had such potential if she cued better and gave you a chance to learn them. I also found the 10 minute strength part to be disappointingly ineffective. - posted by Lucy on 1/31/2012
Just OK for me...
Did not enjoy this workout as much as I thought I would since it's with Tracie Long. I found this one boring and Tracie is way too serious in her demeanor....Sorry! - posted by Nadia on 1/19/2012
Pleasantly Surprised
The only reason I bought this workout is because it's by Tracie Long - she is one of my favorite instructors. I would buy a lower body workout in a heartbeat but a "hips" workout that is rated beg/int just sounded too easy and barre-like for me. Happily, I found that this is just challenging enough. There are enough exercises and reps to work your hip area without going overboard. There are even some aerobic bursts in the first segment that get your heartrate up. Overall, this is a fun, effective workout. - posted by Jane on 1/19/2012
Very cool video!
Tracie Long combines innovative moves in her unique style to make an interesting and fun workout that focuses on the hip area. This isn't the run-of-the-mill lower-body workout with endless squats and lunges. There are combinations of balance moves, hurdle exercises and leg lifts. It's a lot of fun and clocking in at 30 minutes, it's great for the days when you're short on time. Love it! - posted by Sally on 1/15/2012
Dissapointed
I like Tracie Long but I was really disappointed with this workout. It's not up to par to her other workouts...I will return this one. - posted by Carla on 1/12/2012
So-so
You wouldn't think you could rate a toning workout by choreography, but this one is hard to follow! I'd rate it complex choreography! Tracie keeps changing the moves, with very little warning. She has you changing it up frequently, without knowing when to lunge forward or back or sideways or changing sides, and by the time you get it, she has already moved on. For example, she does one exercise just twice, then switches to another. It's so complicated that you can't even remember what she did on the other side when she changes sides, and she doesn't cue well. She uses a balancing stick for some of the moves, but she should use it earlier, because she has a lot of balance moves that are difficult without the stick, yet she doesn't offer or warn you that all of a sudden you are into balance moves. Her cuing was not good enough for all the short routines and quick changes. There are also times (as I've noticed with some of Tracie's other workouts) where the camera is focusing on a close-up of one part of her body, when you really need to see the whole view to get it. The moves were pretty good, just wish the choreography was easier to follow! - posted by Cheryl on 1/12/2012
Good hip workout
I think the level beg/int is right. There are a lot of interesting moves to target your hips and outer thighs. The main part are the 2 10 minute sections. There is a lot of balance and range of motion moves. Then there is a sort of ballet/Squeeze sort of section. It is very focused, like it says, on the hips. I felt nice and warm in that area and like that you could use it as an add on for 10 or 20 min, or 30 with the warm up and final stretch. Not too hard but good. - posted by Denise on 1/2/2012
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
