I had been lifting heavy weights for about 1 1/2 years and although I had lost a significant amount of weight I still had a nice layer of fat over my muscles. I decided to forgo the heavy weights and start doing Tracy. It was supposed to be a 6 week experiment.
Within one month my arms started looking more defined and they had shrunk by 3/4″. Additionaly, I lost 2″ in my hips. I was encouraged and continued. That was about 5 months ago and I have continued to notice positive changes. Muscle definition in places it did not exist previously. YES!!!
My current experiment: I am alternating Tracy’s Mat w/o with Physique 57′s Classic Workout.

10 hours a week of exercise=need to quit my full time job. No job, can’t afford $900! (well, ok, can’t afford that anyway…)
Now that Tracy Anderson and Madge have broken up, will you be more or less likely to workout at her studio?
How did Madge get so bulked up by NOT using weights, I wonder. She must be doing a lot of leg lifts (and arms and everything)!
