Hi!
I'm so glad to see people are out there still using TAM Meta. I bought the DVD's FOREVER ago. Tried it, didn't like it at the time. (and I also didn't really give it much time before giving up)
I'm starting over again because I need to do some kind of strength training. Figured the muscular structure would be good for that. Her Cardio HURTS my feet and knees. I think I will try that once i get some pounds off. I have a lot to lose, and currently walking on treadmill/incline for cardio. Which I do like a lot. :-)
Did anyone do any kind of modified version of the structure DVD's? I'm worried that I will need to do some kind of modified and still won't be able to do the whole thing by the time Day 10 rolls around and you have to change workouts.
Anyone with thoughts on sticking with the Day 1-10 workout for longer than 10 days? I can't see any real harm in it...especially if starting out very slow. Maybe do 15 day intervals vs 10? Any advice is appreciated.
You all are awesome!

I asked a similar question on the TAM site and while it's totally up to you, they suggested not going more than a day or 2 extra on any level because the key is the progression. I've never been able to complete all of the leg excercises, and I may add an extra day or 2, but I move on to the next set of excercises. It's designed that way and I think you'll see faster results - I know I'm def toning up!

Good luck!

Ok thanks! On my way. Right now, 10 workouts seems far away :laugh:

Yes, as stated it's 10 days of actually doing the workout. I try not to go more than a few days without doing a workout either, but it happens. 10 workouts can be completed in less than 2 weeks - no time at all! You'll find that once you get to day 7/8 you'll want to get the 10 days done so you can move on to the next set of excercises!

I started Meta yesterday! Whoop whoop!
Here are some first impressions:
First of all, I have been doing the MAT for a while and with the added reps I had it extended to nearly 1+1/2 hr, so the muscular structure of Meta felt quite short. I finished the exercises and I was like ''Was that it? Seriously?''.. However it def kicked my butt! I was sweating like hell, put loads of effort and out of the 6 legs exercises, I managed to do all the 40 reps on just the 4, the other 2 just 20-25. Today my thighs, buttocks, lower abs and legs are a bit sore, but so is the top of my shoulders since they carry a major part of my weight when I am on all fours doing the legs exercises (dunno if that's normal btw or my posture is all wrong). I must admit that I could only manage 10 mins of her dance cardio after the muscular structure workout but I hope I will be able to increase my endurance day by day till I reach the full 30 mins of her cardio as well as all of the 40 reps per leg exercise by the end of day 10. All in all quite challenging therefore it owes to be effective. I would also like to note that I believe my experience with MAT helped me loads in delivering the Meta (or as much as I could deliver), I wouldn't like to know how it would be if I hadn't done that. I will be keeping you guys updated as the days go by and I am looking forward to hearing to some of your progress with Tracy. x x x

I also find the arms and abs do-able but the lower body so hard ... ive just been building up the reps and progressing each day.
Im glad im not the only one who felt this way :-)
Much Love
xoxo
