Channeling Kelly Ripa with Physique 57

Back in May I shared the workout DVDs using the Lotte Burke method of Pilate's. Then in June, I purchased the 3-DVD set from Physique 57™ NYC. This is the studio where Kelly Rippa works out! Erin Fetherston gives a short commentary about the program on the DVD as well.

This workout is the ADVANCED version of the Lotte Burke DVD series.

Well, I recently received an email from Physique 57 announcing its official launch of the DVDs, so I had to share (wanted them to be in stock for certain before I shared, so you can purchase them!)

Visit physique57.com/shop to view excerpts from each DVD, and place your order today! Physique 57 DVDs are also available to purchase at all three New York studio locations. Physique 57 master instructors Tanya Becker and Shelly Knight lead the workout.

Let me know what you think if you get them!

This work out almost made me cry is brutal, and I workout all the time. It is so intense that I look as though I jumped in the shower afterwards. Interestingly enough, however, you are energized!

Pilates

The Lotte Berk Method. I love the combination yoga/pilates/ballet this workout offers. Amazon.com is selling the DVDs. I first heard about this workout discussed by by Kelly Ripa of Live! Regis and Kelly, and in Fitness, Shape and several other magazines. About 1 1/2 years ago I purchase the DVDs for my collection at home. And it is part of the workout plan offered by NYC's Physique 57 (a great gym I receive email about new events from. I was able to visit their facility on my trip to NYC last May. I've noticed this style popping up in other areas of the country as well.

I've decided to try to train my body to 'crave' these workouts in the morning. I have set my alarm for 4:50am and the plan is to have a 1/2 workout to one of the 4 DVDs each morning (they are 1/2 hour each). When I really need to stretch I use a 10 -minute Pilates-only DVD and cut the time a bit short on the Lotte Burk. It's Wednesday, but so far so good! I hope I can stick to this crazy plan! I feel streched all day! And that's great with the long commute. Of course, this now leaves evenings open for running....
