Tracie Long's Reboot: Volume 1 |
 This one deserves 5 and 1/2 stars |
| If the Longevities were 5 stars, Reboot deserves an extra 1/2 star. A typical Tracie workout--it covers almost everything, has unique moves, doesn't have overkill with repetitions and keeps it interesting. Plus, several of the production problems on some of the Longevities has improved. I liked the music more and the volume was perfect. Also the camera showed her entire body more and not looking as if it was shot from the other end of a football field. - posted by RuthNYC on 5/3/2012 |

| Great for small space |
| I really enjoyed this video. It is a tough, but fun workout. Yes, it is really great if there is limited space available. - posted by Mary on 3/24/2012 |

| Perfect for solid and high intermediates! |
| Years ago I was in great shape. I routinely did Cathe Friedrich, Anna Benson's Firms and other advanced workouts. But life happened and I fell off the workout wagon (under it really). Fast forward three years to me slowly getting back into shape. I was steadily rebuilding cardio with Leslie Sansone and other beginner workouts. But I wasn't really a beginner. I was more of a "re-beginner." I was getting bored with just walking and knee lifts. I wanted more creative and challenging compound moves and wanted to build back in some strength work. I had a lot of knowledge and experience with tougher workouts but not yet enough strength or cardio endurance to take them on. That's when I tried ReBoot and loved every moment! Tracie gives a base move for each move and then builds on it in a way that let me grow in strength and cardio capacity with the workout. Every muscle felt worked and I could push myself as hard as I wanted to. Plus, the original music is great. (Unlike the Mario Kart tunes that have taken over Cathe's latest workouts.) Each segment has it's own song. I look forward to doing this workout and feel it was time well spent each time. I've already seen serious changes in my thighs, butt and back. Can't wait to grab ReBoot 2! - posted by Mimi on 3/6/2012 |

| Liked it much better the second time! |
| I enjoyed this workout once I realized it includes stretches in between each interval and to enjoy each move, not wonder why it was not intense enough. I love Tracie and the second time I did this I gave this workout a better chance to sink in, and it was great! It is different, but that's OK, I get bored doing the same type of workout. This allows you to take it a little easier, but the cardio moves are enjoyable even though short, and the weight work is good. I felt great afterward! Looking forward to doing it again and to trying the second Reboot volume! - posted by Cheryl on 3/1/2012 |

 Well constructed workout that didn't engage me |
| This workout by Tracie Long is the first in a new series. It is very structured workout that has 75 seconds of cardio work followed by 45 seconds of a recovery move followed by a strength move and then finished with some kind of stretch/recovery. The cardio is comprised of all basic moves, some low impact and some high. It is easy to modify the impact, if you want. You can do the entire workout or you can choose the chapters you want:
Play All
Warm Up (5 mins)
Hamstrings & Butt (8 mins)
Lunges & Shoulders (8 mins)
Weighted Push Ups & Rows
Squats & Biceps (8 mins)
Weighted Core (5 mins)
Stretch (5 mins)
Two sets of dumbbells are used, one set of light and one set that is heavier. One of the things that I like about Tracie is that she lists appropriate weights for the two sets and suggests that you can go heavier than the stereotypical workout does these days. She is by herself in this workout and stands on a raised platform. If you don't have much space to work out, you would be okay with this workout.
Parts of this workout were fun for me. Overall though, I just wasn't engaged. I'm not sure that the disconnect was for me because the workout was well constructed. I guess it seemed to be well done, but without an ultimate point or purpose for me to focus on. There seemed to be a lack of overall purpose or reason or motivation or something to the workout. - posted by Laura on 2/25/2012 |

| not impressed |
| Ms. Long just doesn't offer enough reps to be effective and she so often comes across very robotic - she might as well still be with the Firm - posted by Caroline on 2/6/2012 |

| Another great one by Tracie Long |
| Tracie Long's new video ReBoot is great intermediate workout with lots of options to boost or lower the intensity. In the weights section, you can go lighter or heavier to tweak the intensity and the plyometric work can be done with less or more impact. Tracie puts a unique twist on each exercise and her cueing is great. ReBoot is a winner and I'm looking forward to more in this series. - posted by Sally on 1/23/2012 |

| Not bad... |
| This workout is OK but her other workouts were much better. I understand a comment from Nancy which said that Tracie's personality is not there in this one...and I also understand a comment from Shannon that says give the girl a break. However, even thou Tracie Long has excellent workouts out there, I really find a lack of personality in her workouts, meaning, she doesn't smile a lot, you can be a professional without being too serious and not smile. A lot of other DVD workouts with other instructor have both, example of this, take Kathy Smith for instance, she is VERY professional but always has a smile on her face, its nice and pleasant for whomever is doing the workout..... - posted by Linda on 1/19/2012 |

| Solid Intermediate Workout |
| This is a good workout - a nice blend of weights and aerobic bursts, and Tracie's cueing and instructions are excellent. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I felt it could be a little more challenging - I wanted the cardio segments to be a little longer. There was also a lot of standing around while Tracie explains what is going to happen next. I do use this workout regularly because I like it and it's fun, but it is more of a "light day" workout for me. - posted by Jane on 1/19/2012 |
