Well, that saves lots of time in my day! No carrying around my twin toddlers (about 54 pounds when holding both), no laundry baskets full of clothes for 9 people, no carrying groceries,no helping the children get their school books down, no vacuuming, etc. Although if I can't lift anything over 3 lbs. I might need my husbands help in putting on my bra in the morning. Oh well, I'm sure he won't mind.

It scares me that she has produced a pregnancy DVD

Hell, even little ole Pilates probably violates that edict. My *kitten* weighs more than 3LBS.

I will say that Tracy Anderson is a heavenly blessed beauty. But her awesomeness has a lot more to do with diet, genetics, and the overall care of herself than it does lifting.

And good photography, photoshop, makeup artists, lighting and probably a little plastic surgery.

dakotababy

My purse weighs more than that.

Yes!

i just watched the clip, and didn't hear her say that.

She said it in a clip they played as they were going or coming back from commercials.

I agree with the other commenter that said that her target audience is the Hollywood waif actress type... . How many actresses on Network TV shows out there have an ounce of visible muscle development?

The only one that comes to mind is Melissa Reeves from Days of our Lives:

Are there any more?

I'm thinking of the girl who plays Penny in The Big Bang Theory. She has beautiful arms, I read she's a tennis player.

celtbell3

That is an offensive remark. I realize you are qouting T. Anderson - very odd statement for someone to make.

Debbie_Ferr

Shopping for silk dainties Only, anything else would break your 3 lb limit. Oh and Dad carries the baby.

TRACY TIP: The use of ankle weights during the leg lift sections of your workouts will really make the most of your muscular structure workout. Particularly for the glutecentric clients, ankle weights will help lift and tone your bottom, giving your butt a boost. It's important to remember that if you are not strong enough to complete the total number leg lifts repetitions with perfect form yet, you should not be adding ankle weights. Form is SO key when using ankle weights, so be sure that you are hitting the correct angles as you use them.

How much do these ankle weights weigh?! Oh, right, no more than 3 lbs. Yup, sounds legit.

Yep. So for godsake, don't EVER lift your legs when you're wearing big shoes. You will become a MAN.

I wear steel toes... am I going to become a man?!

I reckon I'll no longer be lifting those five pound bags of sugar anymore. I'll just get some big strong mayun to come hep me.

I wish wearing heavy footwear really did bulk up your legs. I've been trying to bulk my calves for ages now. I managed to get them about a quarter of an inch bigger by eating at a surplus and doing some very heavy lifting. If only I'd known I can bulk them up good and proper by wearing heavier shoes and/or 3lb ankle weights. DOH!

Wow, super disturbing...

JenniBaby85

I see. So not only are my workouts pointless and an accident waiting to happen. But I CAN'T LIFT MY KIDS EITHER!?! :sad:

Man I'd love ot challenge that person to an arm wrestling match

Tiff050709

My kids "workout" with my 5lb weights that I don't use anymore.

Icoza87

That's hilarious. My step mother recently told me that I shouldn't help the boys lift heavy boxes and things because my uterus could fall out.

... dead freakin serious.
