If you have made it to of the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Hipcentric program, give yourself a round of applause. The first ten days are notorious for their humbling nature—a brutal introduction to micro-movements, fatigue, and the unique burn that only Tracy can orchestrate. But now, you are entering the Intermediate Phase (Days 11-20). tracy anderson metamorphosis hipcentric day 11-20
Day 16 — Hip-Centric: Balance & Single-Leg Control
Data from a user with a heart rate monitor shows that doing Transform 1-10 immediately followed by 11-20 (likely because she combined them) resulted in a burn of roughly 200 calories over a 60-minute span, with an average heart rate of 114 and a peak of 145. This indicates that while the workout is challenging for the stabilizer muscles, it lives in the "fat-burning zone" rather than a high-intensity HIIT spike.

Absorb the impact through the balls of your feet, rolling down to the heels.
This phase strips away the last remnants of the "beginner's mind." It forces you to confront the tediousness of high-rep, low-impact training. It demands you find the flow in the chaos of the dance cardio. But it is also the phase where the "pear shape" begins to flatten. The saddlebags that defined your silhouette start to tuck in. The hip flexors that felt tight now feel strong.
During the first ten days, your body acclimates to working on all fours and engaging the core to stabilize the torso. Days 11–20 build directly on that foundation by introducing complex angles. You are no longer just lifting the leg up and down; you are tracing arcs, holding specific rotations, and crossing the midline of the body. This multidirectional movement pattern forces the deep external rotators of the hip—such as the piriformis, gemelli, and obturator muscles—to fire continuously.
