Here are some photos of Tracy Anderson on vacation in Miami two weekend ago. While she has a nice, athletic figure, I tend to think that she doesn’t know how to dress for her body? Even her bikinis are ill-fitting. The bikini tops are too small and too low-cut for her… bolt-ons. Anyway, as we’ve long documented, Tracy has an extensive history of trashing her clients, trashing every form of exercise other than her “method,” and trashing the people who find enjoyment in yoga, cycling, elliptical, running or walking. She is, I believe, a smug piece of work and it never fails to make me happy to think that Gwyneth Paltrow is in business with her and that at some point, that sh-t is going to blow up in both of their faces. So what’s Tracy’s smugness this week? She doesn’t think people should work out at any other time other than the morning. WTF?

Working out in the morning: “I like [working out] first thing in the morning, and I like it every morning, and I like it to be the thing you really protect. You can take on anything during the day and any stressors that happen. There’s so much more to working out than having a great butt or perfect abs — it has to do with our mental health, our attitude, our ability to fight disease and stress. So it’s really important.”

Why people should avoid night workouts: While the Tracy Anderson Method creator says it’s better to work out at night than not at all, she explains that later sweat sessions can prevent us from getting the sleep we need. “Sleep is incredibly important,” she says. “I wish people would go to bed earlier and get up earlier in the morning, because what happens when you [work out] in the evening is your adrenaline kicks in, and then it keeps you up later.”

She’d rather you do 15 minutes as opposed to nothing: “I’m an advocate for experts,” she says. “Go do something strategic, even if it’s 15 minutes of a DVD.”

Don’t hit the snooze button: “If you hit snooze, then you’re settling for less. Get up and get out of bed. I want to hit snooze too! [But] No one needs to feel defeated if they can’t get it in every morning. For women, identifying when your cycle is, you may want to hit snooze, and it’s important we recognize that. There are times when it’s okay to hit snooze because that’s what our bodies need — as long as it’s not a regular habit or it keeps you from owning your best self.”

I work out between four and five times a week, and it’s only on the weekends when I manage to get to the gym before noon. And I don’t find that it’s really different for my body than my usual afternoon workouts during the week. The difference might be that I’m actually more tired for the rest of the day the earlier I work out. I do think Tracy still loves to generalize and mock anything that isn’t part of her “method” – plenty of people work out in the afternoon, early evening or late evening and that’s what works for them. While there’s an adrenaline kick, isn’t it true that your body will also flood your system with endorphins, and that after your workout, you may become very tired and calm, because endorphins are nature’s opiate? Meaning that I bet a lot of people feel like crashing after a night workout.
