Tracy Anderson Quotes

There is no quick easy way to the body you want... commit yourself now to your workout and get started.

If you want a dancer's body, dance. Dance aerobics is my favourite cardio. It's very frustrating if people think you have to become a dancer to do it - you don't.

No woman should ever lift more than 3lbs

You need to be dedicated to your workout, whatever you choose.

Do you need to train two hours a day? Probably not. The reason why my celebrity clients have to train two hours a day is because their endurance level is so strong. For Madonna to get results and keep results, it's like a professional athlete training - she has to push harder.

It's not just the light weights that give a long toned look with the Tracy Anderson Method, it's using the body in different rotations while contracting and releasing the muscle, causing it to stretch and lengthen.

I tell people to be thankful that Madonna is showing that it's possible to be ageless - people should applaud and celebrate that. Anybody who criticises her is just jealous!

Oftentimes, heavy weights can tear the muscle fiber causing it to bulk, but using a lighter weight for a longer duration and allowing your body to move in many different ways to target all of the muscles will lengthen them without tearing.

The people who can connect and perform during their workout get results way above and beyond the people who are just going through the motions.

I really wanted to make it as a ballet dancer to make my mom proud. But it didnt happen.

All my clients eat. Madonna has a very healthy appetite. She doesn't eat processed food, she's very conscious of the quality of the things she eats but she has treats - she loves cupcakes.

I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.

I hate diets and I love eating.

I think it's very important to feed the body what it craves and not be in your head about it, panicking, carrying around some calorie-counting wheel in your bag or something equally absurd. I'm really not a fan of that at all.

When you feel your best, you're more confident in bed. It's not lights-out, under-the-covers sex. It's more like, "Take a look at this!"

A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing.

Madonna is an athlete; she has to be treated like a professional athlete. She doesn't work out for six hours a day, though, like some of the press says. She never works out for more than two hours a day, and then only when she has the time.
