00:00Indoor surfing is the latest workout craze.
00:10It will not only give you the great body of a surfer, well, we hope, but it's also lots
00:16of fun.
00:17And here to tell us more and give us a lesson is the CEO of Surf Set Fitness, Mike Hartwick.
00:22Nice to have you, Mike.
00:23Thank you for having us.
00:24So you're a surfer boy.
00:25I am a surfer boy.
00:28From where?
00:29Where are you?
00:30Originally from the East Coast.
00:31My sister moved out to the West Coast, spent a lot of summers hanging out, Ocean Beach,
00:35surfing every day.
00:36Right.
00:37And so you got this brilliant idea that, why not bring surfing indoors?
00:42To teach balance, I really think that the more you work out, the more you really need
00:48that balance.
00:49And also the older you get, you need more balance.
00:51You need to really work on it.
00:53Absolutely.
00:54And so this really is a fine tool for that.
00:56Yeah.
00:57And this instability really helps you promote that posture, standing up.
01:01And it is unstable.
01:02Unstable.
01:03It is.
01:04So what is it that gives surfers that great surfer body?
01:08Well, I think you look at the ocean, it's not a static environment.
01:11It's always throwing curve balls at you.
01:13Every wave is different.
01:14So when you're paddling in, you have to pop up.
01:16You have so many fitness exercises within that routine, and it's not like you're just
01:20doing it once.
01:21Right.
01:22And over the course of a surf session, you're doing five, 10, maybe even 20 times you're
01:25popping up.
01:27So what is it that gets you in East Hampton this summer to take me out into the waves?
01:29Am I staying at your place?
01:30Yep.
01:31Okay.
01:32Yep.
01:33I will be there.
01:34I will feed you if you will teach me.
01:35I will take you up on that.
01:36So what results can people expect if they do this exercise, the endzores, regularly?
01:47The biggest thing we've seen is upper body strength.
01:50Learning to paddle on a surfboard I think is the hardest thing when you're teaching
01:52somebody.
01:53If you don't have that upper body strength, you're actually pulling yourself through the
01:56water.
01:57You've really developed the shoulders, and with an unstable surface, you're always engaging
02:01that core.
02:02Well, it's real nice just rocking here in the waves, but I would like an introductory
02:06lesson.
02:07So really quickly, just show people and me what it takes to exercise on this beautiful
02:13board.
02:14Excellent.
02:15Okay.
02:16All right.
02:17So the first thing we're going to do is we're just going to roll forward.
02:18We're going to go through the actual paddle.
02:19So if you bring your hands down to the rail, and you can just kind of slide back, bring
02:22your feet back nice and slow.
02:24Looks like we're in Maui or Oahu.
02:26What do you think?
02:27Oh, I think we're in Kauai.
02:29Oh, I like that even better.
02:31Nice.
02:32All right.
02:33So from here, we're just going to go through the single stroke.
02:36We're just going to bring the elbow straight back on the right.
02:38Watch out, it's going to get us.
02:42And through this, we're actually working the triceps.
02:43This is the magic of green screen, everyone.
02:46That green curtain, you can project anything you want.
02:49Okay.
02:50So this is nice.
02:51This is just a single stroke.
02:52Okay.
02:53So this is just like the crawl.
02:55So this is actually getting out to the waves.
02:56Okay.
02:57I'm out there.
02:58You're out there.
02:59All right.
03:00Then we bring in the double.
03:01Double stroke together.
03:02All the way back.
03:03Nice.
03:04Oh, so your feet can be up.
03:05Your feet can be up.
03:06Engage that core a little bit more.
03:07Side to side as you're moving.
03:08Boy, does this get your back and your upper back.
03:10Absolutely.
03:11Oh, boy.
03:12This is great.
03:13Okay.
03:14And then from here, we're actually going to release.
03:15Okay.
03:16And we're going to go to the pop-up.
03:17So I'll show you first.
03:19You just bring your hands under your shoulders.
03:22You push up.
03:23And as you bring your feet to hands, and you stand up just like that.
03:27Carve back and forth.
03:28You're holding here.
03:29Okay.
03:30Are you with me, Martha?
03:31I thought I was.
03:32Party wave.
03:33Party wave.
03:34Oh.
03:35Nice.
03:36All right.
03:37Okay.
03:38So now.
03:39Now we're in the wave.
03:40You can grab that barrel.
03:41Down squat.
03:42Hold it here.
03:43Nice.
03:44Come back up.
03:45All right.
03:46So do you spend most of your time like up or down?
03:59So it's split.
04:00So a lot of paddling.
04:01How many people fall off here?
04:02Look at this.
04:03Shaking away.
04:04Absolutely.
04:06So from here, we'll actually engage a couple different plyometric drills.
04:10So we'll get on the board.
04:11We'll actually turn to center.
04:12Yeah.
04:13So bring your foot over.
04:14There you go.
04:15This is my first time on this, by the way.
04:16She is terrific.
04:17So we're just going to go back.
04:18I'm at least unbalanced.
04:19Is that what we're doing?
04:20Yeah.
04:21Even here.
04:22Just standing on the board, moving side to side.
04:23Your posture's up.
04:24You can feel your shoulders.
04:25You're standing up straight.
04:26I'm much smaller than this jacket shows.
04:31So from here, you can actually just come down, and you can grab the rails.
04:36And from here, we're just going to do what's called the wave runner.
04:40So it's actually bringing the feet.
04:41I can show you first.
04:42So you just bring the feet forward and back.
04:45Okay.
04:46He can do that.
04:47And you want to keep that board nice and stable.
04:50And so the whole time...
04:51Excellent.
04:52Oh, I did that one.
04:53That is so great.
04:54Absolutely.
04:55That's good.
04:56I'm a good faker.
05:04This is not stabilized.
05:05This is just like his, unstable, miserable, difficult, and really good.
05:11You work up a sweat right away.
05:13Absolutely.
05:14Once you start going, it's hard because you're always moving.
05:16We're always kind of jumping.
05:17Oh, but you feel so free.
05:18And that's the thing.
05:19The workout's fun.
05:20So now, is this a good workout for paddleboarding?
05:21Because I just learned how to do that.
05:22Yeah.
05:23So we actually have the paddleboard attachment in front.
05:24Oh, you do?
05:25So you have the paddle.
05:26You can come forward.
05:27We do paddle squats.
05:29So actually paddling.
05:30Oh, okay.
05:31Squatting the whole time.
05:32So if you want to get in shape for the summer, bathing suit season's coming.
05:35I mean, I'm looking forward to getting my bikini, that's for sure.
05:39Me too.
05:41Okay.
05:42So this is very fun.
05:43This is a great exercise.
05:44And if your gym doesn't have one of these, are you licensing this out to other gyms?
05:51So right now we're at Chelsea Piers.
05:52Okay.
05:53And we're running classes.
05:54They've been just sold out since we started.
05:56I bet they have.
05:57Everybody's getting in.
05:58Everyone wants to go on a surf trip.
05:59I'm going to come over there.
06:00It's right around the corner.
06:01Chelsea Piers.
06:02Right on the Hudson River.
06:03It's a beautiful spot.
06:04It is.
06:05It's great.
06:06Oh, well, thank you so much, Mike.
06:07This is a fantastic, fantastic exercise.
06:09Take it from me.
06:10We're back and here to show us how to get a great workout using the Kangoo Jumps.
06:20Now, this is the first time I've had these on.
06:23And I'm holding onto a pole, onto a bar, because, you know, I don't want to fall over.
06:29This is Beth Kruper, and she trains people on these fantastic, low-impact ...
06:37They reduce 80% of the impact.
06:40... 80% of the impact.
06:41And you know Sienna Tedesco and her mom, Mary, my trainer.
06:44I know.
06:45And, Sienna, thank you so much for coming.
06:46Well, thank you for inviting me.
06:47So, not only does Sienna do a lot of crafting, you've seen her on the show, crafting, but
06:53she is a really good athlete.
06:55She snowboards.
06:56She ...
06:57Hockey.
06:58Hockey, basketball.
06:59Everything.
07:00Volleyball.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:02Keeps up with everything.
07:03So, now, what are the advantages of using these Kangoo Jumps?
07:05Well, you're going to burn more calories.
07:07Why the heck do I have these on?
07:08Because they're going to help you lose weight.
07:09You burn more calories.
07:10They're great for your cardiovascular system, and they also, like I said earlier, they reduce
07:14the impact 80%.
07:15So, do you work people out in a great big gym?
07:18Is everybody jumping around?
07:19You have big classes with Kangoo Jumps.
07:20You can work with your trainer in Kangoo Jumps.
07:22You can run down the road in them.
07:24If you keep moving, you don't fall over.
07:25Yep.
07:26You've got to keep moving, and you don't fall over.
07:27Oh, look.
07:28Look how cute.
07:29Oh.
07:30I can watch the tape.
07:31You've got it.
07:32Very good.
07:33Oh, I can actually do something on them.
07:35Yeah, good.
07:36Run back to my pole.
07:38Very good.
07:39I need the pole dancing.
07:40I need S-Factor and the Kangoo Jumps.
07:41We can do that together on the pole.
07:44So these are really great for kids, for birthday parties.
07:47They're so great for kids.
07:48Yeah.
07:49They get the kids up off the couch and unplugged, and jumping around the room, it's a great
07:53way for kids.
07:54So take us through a little mini workout.
07:55I'll stay right here.
07:56Okay.
07:57What are you doing?
07:58This is just called a single foot jump.
07:59It's a jog.
08:00Okay.
08:01And you can do lots of variations with that, with the knees up or heels back, and then
08:05a double foot jog.
08:06Oh, double foot.
08:07Oh.
08:08Hop, hop.
08:09Hop, hop.
08:10Oh, it's good.
08:11And then a double jump would be just both feet.
08:12Uh-huh.
08:13Or a jack.
08:14And then we're just going to run in a circle and show you some other moves.
08:15Yeah.
08:16You have to get used to wearing them, because they're a little clumsy.
08:17It's just a three-minute-
08:18But it's fun.
08:19Three-minute adaptation to get used to bouncing in the Kangoo Jumps.
08:20They're very stable.
08:21So if you're bored with that treadmill-
08:22Oh, yes.
08:23They're much more-
08:24This is a very nice alternative, right?
08:25It is.
08:26It is.
08:27It is.
08:28It is.
08:29It is.
08:30It is.
08:31It is.
08:32It is.
08:33It is.
08:34It is.
08:35This is a very nice alternative, right?
08:36It's great.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Don't get any ideas, Mary.
08:39You should be-
08:40So do you wear a protective helmet, or do you need anything like that?
08:44You do not need any protective gear with the Kangoo Jumps.
08:46They are the protective gear.
08:48They're keeping your knees and your joints and your spine safe-
08:50Right.
08:51To be able to exercise longer into your life when you use the Kangoo Jumps.
08:54And these are really great for overweight people?
08:56They're so great for heavy people, because they take away a lot of the things that are
08:59unpleasant about exercising.
09:01Right.
09:02Right.
09:03So, it really does make you feel lighter.
09:04weightless. Right, so where can you buy these? You can go to our website
09:08www.kangoojumps.com. I can see they're really great for your for your legs. I mean
09:13really great. They're really great. Just walking you can feel like you're burning some calories. Yeah, you really can.
09:17And when I first got them, I was jumping around the house. My mom had to make me sit down and take them off.
09:23Well, they're so much fun. You will get off the couch. Well, this is a fun lesson. I'm looking forward to Kangoo
09:29Jumping with Mary and Sienna. We can Kangoo Jump around the farm. That would be great. Yeah, the four miles. Yeah, we're going to do
09:37that like tomorrow. Whether your New Year's resolution is to be more organized, to start
09:51eating right, or to get into shape, we're sharing solutions and suggestions that
09:55will make it easy to attain your goals. How many people in this audience resolve
10:00to get fit in the New Year? Well, we all do that. And keeping that resolution is a lot easier when it's fun. And no one seems to be having more fun
10:12working out than the devoted followers of something called Zumba Fitness. Every
10:17week, more than 12 million people take part in this enormously popular Latin
10:22inspired dance fitness program in over 110,000 locations throughout the world. I think over 200 countries are involved in Zumba nowadays. And here to show us what this fitness
10:35craze is all about is Zumba instructor Cass Martin. Hi, Cass. Hi. How are you? Hi, I'm doing great. Great to be here. So you're all dressed up for Zumba. I'm dressed for the occasion. I have the wrong shoes. I don't have the
10:50bracelets. I don't have the body. We can hook you up with that. I don't have the shape. But anyway, but I think I have the enthusiasm. I think so too. I think you're the perfect candidate. So tell us about Zumba, where it started, who started it, and why. Okay, so Zumba started originally. Now, I watch it on television. You know, how many of you watch Zumba on television? It's addicting. It's addicting. Yeah, you lie in bed and you watch Zumba. And I keep saying, I have to turn it off. I have to turn it off because I'm not doing it. You have to get out of the bed. I know. See, but I
11:20think more people, more than that 110 million people, I think, are watching it in bed. Yeah, I bet. But we're going to change that statistic. So what happened was the creator, Beto Perez, is from his native country, Colombia. Beto, B-E-T-O, right? Yes. So he, one day, he was teaching an aerobics class, and he forgot his music. So what did he do? He went to his car, and he had some tapes. Do you remember what tapes are? His favorite tapes. His favorite tapes. Favorite, yeah.
11:50So they were of Latin-inspired, you know, dance workout songs. And he came in with his salsa and his rumbas. He popped it in. Exactly. Yeah, okay. And he moved his hips, and everyone's like, I'll do that workout. I think that's fun. And everybody really loved it. And that's what makes Zumba so different is that it's a workout that you really look forward to doing because it changes the idea of exercise. It's fun. And it burns a lot of calories. It burns a ton of calories. 500 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Yeah, and believe it, we've done studies. I mean,
12:20I do like a half an hour on the treadmill, and it's like 100 calories. Well, the trick is... It's not good. And it's not fun. It's horrible. It's horrible. So the idea is that we have changed the idea of working out. This is exercise in disguise. But I don't have Zumba at my house, or could I? You could. Oh, yes, I could. So not only can you find classes, but you can get the DVD box set, which, can I tell them? Yeah. You're all getting the DVD box set.
12:50Which includes these things, right? Yes. Which is... I'm so happy. So it's a 7-disc DVD box set. It comes with the toning sticks. Yeah. So not only can you go to a class, but you can do it in the privacy of your own home. And we also have the Zumba Wii game and the new one that's coming out. Oh, is Wii out yet? Yes. Is Kinect out yet? Kinect is coming out next month, I believe. Oh, I have Kinect on my... Okay, well, do it because you may see a familiar face. Yes, you're in it, right? I don't know. I'm not going to tell anybody.
13:19I heard you were in it. I did, I did. So we're very excited. We have an audience member. Where's Sharon Harris? Come on up, Sharon. Sharon, come on up. Hi. So have you done Zumba before? No, I haven't. Oh, but you look like you would be good at Zumba. I know, doesn't she? Do you want to take your shoes off or do you want to leave them on? What should she do? You're comfortable. Okay, you're good. She's comfortable. Okay, okay. So, I think we're... And the rest of the audience, stand up, please. Yes. Now, don't be embarrassed. Don't be shy. Oh, they all have them?
13:49They have their sticks already, right? Yes. Now, the first song we're going to do... Okay, so keep the camera off me. Stay on Sharon because Sharon, I'm sure she looks like she can swing her hips. No, stick underneath your seats first for this song. I'm going to show you what we're going to do, then we're going to break it down, then you're all going to do it, okay? Okay. Let's hear the music. Watch what I do, okay? We're clapping. Oh. Faster.
14:19Now, you're going to punch your arm in the air. Now, arms up. Again, here we go. Punch it up. I have to practice. We'll practice, don't you worry. Now, we're going to step to the right. Here we go. Step, hold. Step, step right. Bring it back. Now, again, this way. Hey.
14:49Forward. Now, bring it back. Hold it here. Okay, let's cut the music. Now, what we're going to do... You guys did awesome. I'm going to show you... We're going to show a little bit what the movement is. So, we're going to go. It says, right hand in the air. Another option, just punch it up, okay?
15:14Right hand in the air. Left hand in the air. Everybody in the air. I think those are the words. Here we go. Punch it up. Right hand in the air. Left hand in the air. Everybody in the air. Let's go in the air. Now, it says...
15:33So easy. Slide to the right. Slide to the left. Bring it forward. Hey, hey, bring it, bring it back. Now, slide, slide, pump it. I think I need about 40 lessons. Slide, pump it. But you're having fun, right? You're moving. No. The trick is... I'm having fun. I'm having fun. The trick is, if you're moving, you're doing it right.
16:01What about the sticks?
16:02Okay. So, with the toning sticks, this comes in your kit. And we're going to do a little toning routine.
16:08I like the noise.
16:09Aren't they fun?
16:10Yeah.
16:11It's like a little maraca.
16:12Yeah.
16:13So, with the toning sticks, it adds resistance to your workout. And so, what we're going to do is we're going to do kind of like a belly dancing routine.
16:20Oh, yeah.
16:22So, let's start the music and we'll just kind of go for it. Are you ready?
16:25I'm ready.
16:27Okay. Now, put your arms here. Now, we're going to shake our hips side to side. Here we go. Shake it.
16:36Now, if you are trying to close an oven door with your hip, just think of it, Martha.
16:41Now, squat down here. Squat.
16:44Oh, you got this.
16:48Now, this is easier, right?
16:49Yeah, this is fun.
16:50Now, let's get those hips. Here we go. Shake it, Martha.
16:53Oh, yeah.
16:54Now, squat again. Squat.
16:57Now, you can use your biceps. Shake your hips.
17:01I hear laughter. Everyone's having fun. I know you are, too.
17:05Squat.
17:08Squat again. Shake it.
17:11Yee-hoo.
17:14Are you feeling it?
17:15I am.
17:18Shake it.
17:19Now, you can add your toes.
17:21Now, squat.
17:23Oh, yeah.
17:27Good job. Give yourselves a round of applause.
17:30Very good.
17:31I'm back with my trainer, Mary Dodesco, and Mary's agreed to take questions from our audience,
17:36all of whom are in their exercise gear, and if you're not, do not ask a question.
17:41Raise your hand, though, if you do have a question.
17:45Oh, yes. Hi.
17:47Hi. I'm May from New York.
17:50Mary, I was wondering, if you only have 30 minutes a day to exercise, what do you think is best to do?
17:55Well, I think if you just have 30 minutes, and especially if it's every day, which would be great,
18:01I would do about 15 minutes of weight training to increase your lean muscle mass,
18:06and you could do a quick, full-body workout, and then I would do the 15 minutes of cardio.
18:12High-powered cardio.
18:14Yeah, where you're getting your heart rate up into your target heart rate zone and really burning some calories.
18:19Great. Thank you.
18:20The combination works really wonderfully together.
18:23Awesome. Thank you.
18:24You're welcome.
18:29Hello.
18:30Hi, Martha. I'm Mary. I'm Erin from Long Island, New York.
18:34I was wondering, like, after your hard workout, what's the best thing to eat?
18:40After your hard workout, what time of day do you...?
18:44Well, I'm in school, so I work out, like, after school, so, like, 3 to 5.
18:49Well, there's some great snacks. Like, I mean, one of my favorites is...
18:52Shouldn't she just wait for supper?
18:55No, because she might be starving at her age. She's starving.
18:59Okay.
19:00And if she waits for supper, then she's going to be like...
19:02Should that be her supper? They mean that should be her supper.
19:04No. No.
19:06No, because, you know, I mean, how old are you?
19:09She's 16.
19:10She's 16. So she's, like, I have a 13 almost, and she comes home starving,
19:14and she does work out, and you have to feed them.
19:17Otherwise, they become, like, little animals, and it's not fun.
19:20And then they eat so much.
19:22Little pieces of apple?
19:23I would say, like, apples and peanut butter.
19:25My favorite is, like, Greek yogurt with any kind of fruit, like kiwi or blueberries.
19:31You know, you can buy the little... Is that Chovani, the Greek yogurt individual?
19:36I love that.
19:37Okay. Thank you.
19:38Did I say it right?
19:39Yeah.
19:45Hi. I'm Jennifer from Bronxville, New York.
19:48I'm eight months pregnant, and I was wondering,
19:50do you have any suggestions on how I can get my pre-pregnancy body back?
19:57Been there.
19:59Twice.
20:01Did you exercise before getting pregnant?
20:03Yes, and I'm still exercising.
20:05So you have, like, a great head start.
20:07But I would say don't wait, whatever you're doing,
20:12because that's what I find with a lot of people, that they wait.
20:16Like, I mean, I had two C-sections myself, so it was six weeks,
20:20and I listened to the doctor.
20:22I waited my six weeks, and then I just started back to my program.
20:26And I find people wait way too long after having the kids,
20:32and then they get stuck, and then they're taking care of the kids.
20:35So I would start walking or swimming, like, right away, you know,
20:39when you can after that six-week marker,
20:42and then jump back into your routine.
20:44Just take it slow.
20:45Okay. Thank you.
20:46I'm amazed. I'm amazed nowadays.
20:48So many of the women just look, like, normal again,
20:51and within three weeks, they look normal.
20:53But I think that people are really aware of their bodies now.
20:56You know, it's great.
20:57Everybody's, like, so getting into health and fitness
21:00because you don't want disease, you know.
21:03Hi.
21:04Hi, Mary. Hi, Martha.
21:05I'm Tina Knezvich from Melinda, New Jersey.
21:07And my question to you, Mary, is,
21:08do you have an exercise that you could recommend to a beginner
21:11and someone like me who hasn't exercised in a few months
21:14and wants to get back into shape?
21:16Yes. Have you exercised before those three months?
21:19Yes, I have.
21:20What did you do then?
21:21I did an elliptical machine a half hour every day for about five days.
21:26Okay. Well, that's really, really great.
21:28Did you ever weight training or Pilates?
21:30No, I want to incorporate that.
21:32What are some recommendations from you?
21:33Since it's been three months, it hasn't been terribly long for you.
21:37You're not like a couch potato, right?
21:39So I would get back into walking first.
21:43Okay.
21:44You know, get 30 to 60 minutes a day,
21:47get into some, like, fast power walking,
21:49and then get back on the elliptical.
21:51The elliptical's a wonderful tool.
21:53And then incorporate Pilates or weight training, you know, back in there.
21:58Again, just slowly.
21:59Thank you so much.
22:00You're welcome.
22:01And I'm sure you're going to do it starting tomorrow.
22:03I will. I promise. My New Year's resolution.
22:05And find a gym. Do you have a good gym nearby?
22:07I actually have a home gym, so.
22:08That's great.
22:09Free.
22:10No pay.
22:11Well, thank you for your great.
22:12And you're getting your ring.
22:13Thank you for your great.
22:15She's getting her Pilates ring today, so that's another.
22:18Well, I start my workout, my working day, with my trainer, Mary Tedesco,
22:23three, four, I wish, five times a week.
22:27And early in the morning, you come at 6.30 diligently.
22:32And today I thought it would be really great to save my session to do with all of you.
22:38And our routines are constantly changing, very challenging, and fun.
22:44And I think effective.
22:46It gets me through long, busy days.
22:48It does.
22:49It does.
22:50And it keeps you strong, Mary.
22:51You do.
22:52I mean, Martha's amazing.
22:53And we have wonderful water to drink all the time.
22:56We have our green juice right from vegetables, right from my vegetable garden.
23:00And even in the winter, we're growing those.
23:02That's spinach.
23:03Yes.
23:04And we have these awesome workout clothes from JCPenney today.
23:06I know.
23:07And I put them on.
23:09I'm amazed.
23:10Martha.
23:11Yes.
23:12Look at this earrings.
23:13I love that.
23:14And I love the fit of these.
23:15I love the fit.
23:16They fit the legs so nicely.
23:17It has the pocket, so now you can actually put your phone in there.
23:20I'm wondering, where's your phone?
23:21Where's your phone?
23:22Which phone?
23:23Ringing.
23:24But you can put it in here.
23:25Yeah.
23:26I put my vitamins in here, actually, when I have.
23:27Oh, that's good.
23:28I take them, because I take them in the afternoon, so I'll carry them.
23:31And then these have a great inside lining.
23:34And this is all from the exercise collection at JCPenney.
23:38Exertion, right.
23:39Oh, excuse me.
23:40What did I say?
23:41Exercise.
23:42Yeah, exertion.
23:43Well, exercise would be good, too.
23:44Exertion.
23:45Exertion.
23:46Yes.
23:47And the sneakers, too.
23:48They're just amazing.
23:49Everything's coordinated, and it really does fit.
23:50And odor-resistant, which is great, because the clothes outlast, you know.
23:54Oh, yeah.
23:55The actual odor-resistant.
23:56Oh, okay.
23:57All right, so let's move on.
23:58You want to go into the kettlebells?
23:59Yeah, because, again, these are appearing in more and more gyms, and they are extremely
24:05useful for workouts.
24:07And you can get these at JCPenney, too.
24:09Oh, really?
24:10These, too?
24:11Yeah.
24:12These are from JCPenney.
24:13So what are the benefits of this little kettlebell?
24:14Well, here, this is an extension of your hand here, and you're recruiting all smaller muscle
24:19groups with this, as well.
24:21And we're doing conditioning exercises.
24:23So you're going to increase your heart rate, increase your cardio output, and involve a
24:28lot of different muscle groups at the same time, so we're getting the most bang for your
24:32buck.
24:33Okay.
24:34Okay?
24:35Yeah.
24:36So let's start with your squat with a two-arm swing.
24:37Okay?
24:38You're going to take it down here.
24:39Inhale.
24:40Exhale.
24:41Come up.
24:42Use your abs here.
24:43Really tight.
24:44Inhale here.
24:45Chest is lifted.
24:46Good.
24:47So I'm just going to show Martha here.
24:48A little easier version, then.
24:49You're going to sit way back.
24:50Oh, back more.
24:51Oh, okay.
24:52And way through the arms.
24:53Good.
24:54And take a little breather there.
24:55Okay.
24:56Second exercise, we're going to hold it up here.
24:57And we're going to twist over.
24:58How much does this one weigh?
24:59These are five-pounders.
25:00Oh, boy.
25:01They feel light.
25:02They do.
25:03Well, they should, because she works out with a lot.
25:04After the Bulgarian bag.
25:05It should.
25:06All right.
25:07Take it over to the right.
25:08A little slight bend in the knees.
25:09Take it to the left here.
25:10We're going to come to the center.
25:11So this, too, is working out your core.
25:12And then press up, Martha.
25:13Good.
25:14Yeah, we're working all the core muscles.
25:15Go ahead.
25:16Let's do a little more.
25:17Oh, again?
25:19It's you this morning.
25:20Come on.
25:21One.
25:22One.
25:23Up top.
25:24Good.
25:25That does not require clapping.
25:26Okay.
25:27And we're going to go into one of Martha's favorite exercises, which is a one-arm row
25:28here.
25:29Oh, yes.
25:30So we're going to take it down.
25:31And you're just going to come up for your one-arm row.
25:32You're working your upper back muscles right here.
25:33Yeah.
25:34And then if you want to make it more interesting, you could take it up and then kick back for
25:35your triceps.
25:36So we're going to come up.
25:37And we're going to come up.
25:38And we're going to come up.
25:39And we're going to come up.

27:09And we're going to come up.
27:10And we're going to come up.
27:11And we're going to come up.
27:13And then over to the side.
27:14Good.
27:15Come back over here.
27:16Go back into your bounce again.
27:18Good.
27:19Really reaching.
27:20Hold tight.
27:21Hold tight.
27:22Good.
27:23Take it down again.
27:24One more.
27:25Over.
27:26Good.
27:27Take a breather here.
27:28That's good for your obliques.
27:29Take your legs.
27:30They're awesome.
27:31Take your legs a little wider.
27:32We're going to come down and bounce to this side.
27:34Reach up all the way around.
27:36This one doesn't bounce.
27:37Yeah.
27:38These are more.
27:39We are used to ones that bounce a little bit more.
27:41Up, over, and really reaching.
27:44Good, Martha.
27:45That's a dead one.
27:46Okay.
27:48Well, we can still use this guy here.
27:49Yes, of course.
27:50So, let's take one leg forward and one leg back.
27:54I did this with the Bulgarian bags.
27:56And you were doing the Bulgarian bags.
27:57So, we're going to do a different twist on it.
27:59I did this already.
28:00Over here to the side.
28:01Don't you complain with your trainers?
28:02That's why you have a trainer, so you can complain.
28:07Oh, this is good.
28:08This is good.
28:09So, you're working your whole core.
28:10Okay, good.
28:11And take it up.
28:12Martha.
28:13Excellent.
28:14Let's have our juice.
28:15Oh, am I...
28:16I did that enough so I could have a juice?
28:18Yes.
28:19Every morning.
28:20Our reward.
28:21Cheers.
28:22Green juice.
28:23Cheers.
28:24Made with spinach, cucumbers, pear, lemon, ginger, orange peel.
28:29Whatever you have in the garden, right?
28:30Parsley.
28:31A little kale.
28:32Cheers.
28:33And Mary, to another great workout.
28:35To you.
28:37Thank you very much.
28:38It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about being happy,
28:41but our happiness issue of Whole Living Magazine has a workout
28:44that helps you knock out stress and improve your mood.
28:47It was designed by Michael Olajide Jr., a former boxer.
28:52Now, look, he's actually jumping rope.
28:54And he's the owner of Aerospace High Performance Center here in New York.
28:58And he's going to show us how to box our way to a better body and a better mood.
29:03Hi, Michael.
29:04It's nice to see you again.
29:05Yes, hi.
29:06How are you doing, Martha?
29:08No, no, do that again.
29:09No, do that again just for a minute.
29:10Oh, you want me to do it again?
29:11Sure thing.
29:12I mean, this is like the best thing, right?
29:15Yeah, jumping rope is one of the most convenient, efficient, effective workouts you can get.
29:20It's a lot of fun.
29:21Are you really jumping rope?
29:23You can't see it at all, right?
29:24I can do that too.
29:26Make way.
29:33I would be on the ground tangled up in that rope.
29:36I used to jump rope.
29:37I have to jump it again, right?
29:38It's true.
29:39You're out of breath.
29:40It even gets you out of breath.
29:41It gets it.
29:42Boxers and little girls know the secret.
29:43Well, I loved seeing you and your wonderful group that you were training when we were taking those fabulous photographs.
29:50We had a lot of fun.
29:51It was beautiful.
29:52The energy was so high.
29:53And you were a boxer.
29:54Yes.
29:55And you are a boxer.
29:56Yep.
29:57And you're teaching boxing.
29:58Yes, I teach boxing.
29:59So our producers, they came backstage after the rehearsal this morning.
30:03They're all taking boxing lessons with you.
30:05So maybe I'll join them.
30:06That would be great.
30:07I've never taken a boxing lesson.
30:08But why does a boxing-based fitness routine get you in shape?
30:12Well, you use your core for your punches.
30:15So it's always whittling the midsection.
30:18It sleekifies the body.
30:19Your adrenaline, your endorphins.
30:21Sleekifies.
30:22That's a new word.
30:23Sleekifies.
30:24We need that.
30:25Okay.
30:26So it doesn't bulk you at all.
30:27It really slims the body.
30:28It's challenging.
30:30So it engages your mind.
30:32So you never get bored.
30:33I try to prevent getting punched in the mouth like I got punched by my dog.
30:36You make sure the other person doesn't have gloves on.
30:38Okay.
30:39Oh.
30:40Oh.
30:41That's the first thing.
30:42You wear the gloves, the other person doesn't.
30:43Like, well, we're going to do it.
30:44Oh, I see.
30:45Okay.
30:46So why don't you show me some of these.
30:47Sure thing.
30:48And we'll do jump rope.
30:49I always call it rope jumping.
30:50We'll do that later on.
30:51All right.
30:52Here we go.
30:53So basically, there are different stances a boxer takes, either one foot forward or
30:56the other one back.
30:57We're going to start off with our feet square.
30:59Just so we work with the dexterity.
31:00We learn how to throw the punches.
31:02So the hands are up here.
31:03That's good.
31:04All right.
31:05Someone cue the Rocky music here.
31:07This is great.
31:08The jab is a punch off the lead side.
31:10Good.
31:11There you go.
31:12So you work that.
31:13And you squeeze your abs up.
31:14And you try to squeeze your legs.
31:15Your feet grip the ground.
31:16And then you go with the right hand.
31:17Right there.
31:18Turn the body on that.
31:19Abs tight.
31:20Good.
31:21Then you get into the left, right.
31:22Left, right, right.
31:23I have some faces over here.
31:24It's great.
31:25Visualization, too.
31:26Oh, visualization.
31:27So here's the left, right, go.
31:28I have that one.
31:29You take that.
31:31But this is supposed to be happy.
31:33Yes, it is very happy.
31:34I don't want to get mad.
31:35See, I only think of being mad when I'm boxing.
31:38That's the thing.
31:39It just alleviates so much stress.
31:40It's good, actually.
31:41This is good.
31:42Yeah, it really is.
31:43We need something to let go in society.
31:44Because you know the way things can go sometimes.
31:45Yeah.
31:46So we can go uppercut.
31:47One, two, three, four.
31:48That's going to be our combination.
31:49Oh, God.
31:50So left.
31:51Left.
31:52Right.
31:53Right.
31:54Left.
31:55Right.
31:56Good.
31:57Left.
31:58One, two, three, four.
31:59That's great.
32:00Now, I'm going to add the pads into this.
32:01So I'm going to show you.
32:02You're actually going to make some impact.
32:03Oh, good.
32:04This is what the trainers do with you.
32:05Okay.
32:06This saves me a little brain damage, too.
32:07So you're going to hit my hands.
32:08Okay.
32:09So the uppercut goes here.
32:10Your left uppercut.
32:11Oh, up, left.
32:12And your right.
32:13Good.
32:14All right.
32:15And then go straight.
32:16Yeah, exactly.
32:17So up, up, straight, straight.
32:18Up, up, straight, straight.
32:19There you go.
32:20Good power.
32:21Good pop.
32:22Good.
32:24Good.
32:25And then we do some drills, like defensive drills that really hooks up your lower body,
32:26too, because people want, you know, the high butt and the good legs and stuff like that.
32:27Yeah, right.
32:28So you would duck the punch.
32:29These are different gloves than I've ever had on.
32:30Yeah.
32:31These are good.
32:32They have these little things that catch your fingers.
32:34Yeah.
32:35These are Aerospace original.
32:36Oh, so those are yours?
32:37Yeah.
32:38Yeah.
32:39These are Aerospace original.
32:40Yeah.
32:41Yeah.
32:42Yeah.
32:43Yeah.
32:44Yeah.
32:45Yeah.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Yeah.
32:48Yeah.
32:49Yeah.
32:50Yeah.
32:51Yeah.
32:53Yeah.
32:54Yeah.
32:55Yeah.
32:56Yeah.
32:57Yeah.
32:58So we know what this workout does for your body.
32:59I am exhausted already.
33:01But it strengthens your wrists?
33:03It strengthens your wrists.
33:04Your arms?
33:05Your arms, your core, all the things.
33:06So many of our workouts, we get cardio by our lower body.
33:08This is upper body cardio.
33:09So it sneakifies your core, you know, the back of the arms.
33:13I need my...
33:14I'm coming to Aerospace.
33:15Aerospace, high-performance center.
33:16Where is it?
33:17We're located 13th Street, between 8th and Hudson.
33:18Oh, so we're right nearby.
33:19the 13th Street between 8th and Hudson.
33:21Oh, so we're right nearby.
33:21So right, very close.
33:23Wow.
33:24I'd love to have your whole roof come through.
33:25Okay, so why don't you show us some more moves?
33:27Okay, so here's the defensive maneuver.
33:30So if I were to throw a punch at you,
33:33how you duck it, you would go from your right
33:35under to your left.
33:36So you bend your knees.
33:37Yeah.
33:38Uh-huh, and you go under my hand.
33:40Oh, okay.
33:40And right there.
33:41And you start to feel it in the quads and the glutes.
33:43See right here?
33:44So I thought, yes, there.
33:45And there, and then there.
33:47And so, yeah, exactly.
33:49Yeah.
33:52I saw that movie, The Fighter.
33:54There's some pretty gruesome fight scenes in that.
33:56Yeah, there were some pretty gruesome.
33:57Now, do you ever consult on things like that?
33:59There's movies?
34:00Hugh Jackman has a movie coming out,
34:02and I worked with Hugh Jackman in getting ready for that.
34:05Mark Wahlberg, I know, yeah, he was great.
34:07He's an incredible actor.
34:08Amazing what they do.
34:09Yes, yes, it's amazing.
34:10And the way their bodies change during the whole movie.
34:14Absolutely.
34:15So do you have before and after pictures of everybody?
34:18Unfortunately not.
34:19You know, and now Hugh is going into the Wolverine,
34:23so he has to bulk up.
34:24And because he has to bulk up,
34:25he can't box with us anymore,
34:26because we do this, we don't do this.
34:28So he has to get big like a wolf.
34:30Yeah, exactly.
34:31So, you know, I think that gives us even more credit.
34:35It's like, we can't go to you.
34:36People get too skinny with you.
34:39We're all coming to aerospace.
34:41But anyway, thank you.
34:41The article is phenomenal.
34:44The exercise routine is fun.
34:46And if you want to learn about all of this,
34:51you can get the wonderful Michael DVD.
34:54It's called Aero Jump Sculpt.
34:56We all know that healthy living means eating right
34:59and getting enough exercise.
35:00But everyone still has questions
35:02when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.
35:04And our panel of experts is here to help.
35:06Jean Stone, who we just talked to
35:08about the secrets of people who never get sick.
35:11And Shira Bokar, the deputy food editor of Whole Living.
35:14And Lindsay Funston, an associate editor of Whole Living,
35:17who has just completed the one week
35:20of our Whole Living action plan.
35:22Well, you'll feel so much better.
35:24I mean.
35:25I'm starting to feel really good.
35:26I had a ton of energy this morning.
35:28Well, raise your hand if you have a question,
35:29please, audience members.
35:32Hi, I'm Robin from Merrick, New York.
35:34My question's for Jean.
35:36I make chicken soup a lot when my family is sick.
35:39Is it true that it cures the common cold?
35:42Well, actually, that is one of the secrets in the book,
35:45but I'm a vegan, so I really couldn't go ahead
35:48with having the chicken soup.
35:50So the research I found actually said
35:52that it's the soup itself, the vegetables, the spices,
35:56and the idea that you have all that hot liquid
35:58getting into your nose and freeing up your mucous membranes.
36:01So it may not actually be the chicken soup.
36:04It's the soup, and the soup is good.
36:07Maybe I'll try it without the chicken.
36:08There you go.
36:09All right.
36:13Next question.
36:15Hi, my name is Jordan from Long Island,
36:18and my question's for Martha.
36:20I love salad dressing, but sometimes it can be so fattening.
36:23I wanted to know what is your go-to recipe
36:25for a healthy salad dressing?
36:26Well, I like a little bit of olive oil.
36:29I like vinegar as opposed to lemon juice,
36:34just because I don't like the sour dressing.
36:36So I use a rice wine vinegar
36:39or a sherry vinegar or a white wine vinegar,
36:43and a little bit of mustard, salt, and pepper.
36:46That's it, and it's always good.
36:48Okay. Yeah.
36:53Hello.
36:54Hi, I'm Jeannie from Exeter, Maine,
36:57and my question's for Shira.
36:59I run several times a week.
37:00Is it okay to do my normal exercise routine
37:04while on the cleanse?
37:06On the action plan?
37:07Well, the action plan is based on three different weeks,
37:10and you're adding back different foods.
37:12And we recommend on the first week to kind of take it easy,
37:15because you're just eating vegetables and fruits
37:18and plant-based fats.
37:19So really work on stretches, like detoxifying stretches
37:23and yoga and more meditative practice.
37:25And then as you progress through the weeks,
37:27you know, week two, maybe incorporate strength training.
37:30And then by week three, you'll be ready to run around.
37:33Hi.
37:34Hi, I'm Denise, and I'm a Jersey girl.
37:37I loved your juicer, Martha, and it really inspired me.
37:39I think I'm going to try a cleanse.
37:41But I was wondering, a question for Lindsay.
37:43Why do you avoid protein at the beginning of a cleanse?
37:47It's important to avoid protein.
37:49And even though I heard a lot of gripes
37:51from readers about this,
37:52because it obviously helps with keeping you feel sated
37:55and can keep you going between meals.
37:59But we don't want to do that.
38:01Keep you going between meals.
38:02But just by supercharging your diet
38:05with fruits and vegetables,
38:07you're really allowing your body
38:08to focus its energy on cleansing.
38:11Because as you intake protein,
38:13a lot of your energy is going to breaking it down.
38:15So you can really just focus on the cleanse
38:17and get the most out of removing toxins.
38:20Thanks.
38:21Thank you all very much.
38:23Hi.
38:25Great questions, don't you think?
38:27Yeah.
38:27Yeah, really good.
38:28People are thinking.
38:29Hi, I'm Karen.
38:30I'm from New York City.
38:31And my question's for you, Martha.
38:33With your busy schedule,
38:34how do you find time to exercise regularly?
38:37Well, I get up early.
38:38Really.
38:39That's the only way to do it,
38:40because exercise is at six in the morning.
38:44I have a trainer who bears the cold
38:47and the wind and the snow.
38:48And she's like the postman.
38:50She's always there.
38:51And so you can't really cancel her either.
38:53She's uncancellable.
38:55And at lunchtime in between shows here at the gym,
38:58in between shows here at the studio,
39:00I do yoga with the Iyengar,
39:02the head of Iyengar here in New York, James Murphy.
39:04And that really is fabulous.
39:06So that's intense stretching for an hour.
39:10Yep.
39:11Make time, right?
39:12Totally.
39:15Hi.
39:16Hi, my name is Leah.
39:17I'm from Fairfax, Virginia.
39:19This question is for Gene.
39:20Besides eating a healthy diet,
39:22do you find that supplements help keep you healthy?
39:25Oh, that's like the million dollar question.
39:27There's so many people who want to know the answer to that
39:29and there really isn't an answer.
39:31But right now, the thinking seems to be
39:33that if you can try to eat a nutritional meal,
39:37something balanced diet,
39:38and get all of your vitamins and minerals
39:40from your actual food,
39:41you probably don't need to take supplements.
39:43But if you're not having that kind of diet,
39:46then it might not be a bad idea.
39:48Hi, everyone.
39:54My name is Denise from Malvern, Pennsylvania.
39:58My question's for Shira.
39:59Thinking of doing a detox,
40:00I wanted to know what I should do to prepare
40:03to do it first before we end.
40:04That is a great question.
40:05No cold turkey, Shira?
40:06What to do before you detox.
40:08And an interesting question,
40:10because half of our editors at Whole Living right now
40:12are participating in the detox.
40:14Why only half, I may ask?
40:17The strongest.
40:19Only the strongest.
40:20A great way to start is to just make sure
40:23that you have the most nutritious ingredients in your house.
40:26Anything that's processed or anything that may be tempting
40:29when you start the detox.
40:30Also, another great thing is to let everybody know
40:34in your life, your family, your roommates, your coworkers,
40:38let them know that you're gonna start the detox
40:40and that you're very serious about it
40:42and they will really help support you
40:43and they're not gonna try to lure you with junk foods
40:46and they'll be supportive and maybe even join you.
40:49Yeah, maybe even join you.
40:50My roommates are doing the cleanse as well
40:52and we have one editor in the office
40:54and her whole family is doing it
40:56and really enjoying it.
40:57Great, thank you so much.
40:59Sure.
41:00Hi.
41:05Hi everybody, my name's Brielle, I'm from New Jersey.
41:08My question is for you, Lindsay.
41:10Throughout my experience with attempting to cleanse,
41:12I found it really difficult to stay motivated.
41:15So I was wondering if you have any ideas or tips
41:17on how to stay on track with your cleanse.
41:20It becomes really tough.
41:22I really want my 4 p.m. chocolate every single day.
41:26I think one of the most important things
41:27is to keep a food journal,
41:28which a lot of nutritionists recommend,
41:30and you can track how you're feeling going into a meal
41:33and during your meal and after
41:36and just how your body feels from eating those foods.
41:40And when you wanna reach for something processed,
41:42then you can look back and say,
41:44you know, I really felt nourished from that salad,
41:47so I wanna keep going.
41:50Well, thank you all for your excellent questions
41:53and thanks to our panel.
41:54If you're interested in getting a sculpted body
41:56like celebrities like Kelly Ripa, Kim Raver,
41:59and Christy Turlington,
42:01you might just want to try Physique 57
42:03because they've accredited this vigorous and dynamic workout
42:08with helping them get into really great shape.
42:11The creator is here today to show us some exercises
42:14that you can do at home to achieve the same results
42:17with lots and lots of hours of work, right, Tanya?
42:21Tanya Becker is the originator of Physique 57,
42:25so you're on West 57th Street and also downtown.
42:29Yeah, we have a studio on Spring Street
42:30and also out in Bridgehampton.
42:32Oh, oh, okay, I'll come out to the Bridgehampton one
42:34someday, someday, but if I could start to look like you,
42:39wow, I certainly would do this.
42:41So what is Physique 57?
42:42How do you describe it?
42:44Well, Physique 57 is a series of exercises
42:47that lengthens and strengthens every body part.
42:50So we do something called-
42:51Do I get taller?
42:52Yeah, you will, actually.
42:53Interval overload.
42:55So what we do is we combine strength and cardio together
42:58at a high intensity,
43:00and then we stretch the muscle for relief,
43:02and the result is a high calorie burn, which is good,
43:04and also long, lean muscle.
43:07And do you eat?
43:08Yes, yes, a lot, yes.
43:11So why do people achieve such rapid results, would you say,
43:16just because of the caloric burn and the-
43:18That, and I think it's just-
43:20And it's fun.
43:21I think it's all about being fun.
43:23Absolutely.
43:24And if your exercise is fun, if it's not boring,
43:27if it's not, oh, the same old thing,
43:28and counting, counting, counting.
43:30Right, you get addicted, and you start to see the results,
43:32so you keep going back, and yeah.
43:34Oh, that's great.
43:35So we have Jason in the audience,
43:37who's sitting right between, oh my gosh,
43:39between the S Factor girls.
43:41Yeah, you look great, Jason.
43:42So what's your story?
43:44Sorry?
43:45What's your story with 57?
43:46So I've been going to the studio off and on
43:49for about two years, and at my peak,
43:51I was about 235, 240 pounds, and then, as you can see now,
43:55I've dropped the weight of two toddlers,
43:57as my best friend puts it, or 75 pounds.
44:00How great.
44:01So it's very addictive.
44:01Two big toddlers.
44:03Yeah.
44:04Yeah.
44:04That's right, keep up the good work.
44:07Keep up the good work.
44:08So we have two audience members
44:09that are eager to try this workout,
44:11Jennifer Coleman and Stephanie Garvin.
44:13Come on in.
44:13Hi.
44:14Hi.
44:15How are you?
44:16Great, I just want to say-
44:19So now, you have not done this before.
44:20No, we haven't.
44:21Okay, okay, great.
44:21Okay, great.
44:22Would you say you're very fit?
44:24Yeah, we tried a little.
44:25Yeah, you'll be fine.
44:27Oh, good, okay.
44:28Okay, so we're gonna start on the floor.
44:29Okay.
44:30So we can face each other, you can face each other.
44:32And you're gonna just put your feet flat.
44:34Bare feet or shoes?
44:35Yeah, you can put bare feet would be good.
44:36Bare foot's better.
44:37Yeah, so feet flat, fingertips face forward.
44:40I want you to roll the shoulders back,
44:41bring your feet close to your bottom.
44:43Now lift your seat up, and just start to bend the arms.
44:46So we're gonna do something called tricep cancan.
44:48So this is good so far, right?
44:49Yeah.
44:50Now bring your left knee in close towards your chest.
44:54There you go.
44:54Now kick it and bend.
44:56There you go.
44:57Kick and bend.
44:58So you're starting to feel some heat
45:00in your triceps breathing.
45:01You feel a little flexibility in the back of the leg.
45:04Come on, girls.
45:05There you go.
45:06All right, and then of course,
45:08we would stretch the muscle afterwards.
45:09And now we're gonna do a pretzel.
45:11So we call it the pretzel.
45:13It's a little twisted.
45:14Bring your, yeah, your leg in front of you.
45:16It doesn't matter which one.
45:17And that's in a right angle.
45:18And put one palm down by your knee,
45:20and then take your other hand and hold onto your ankle.
45:22Good.
45:23And pull the thigh back.
45:24Right, now pull your abs in.
45:26Now when you let go of the foot, it's gonna stay there.
45:28Ready?
45:29Let go.
45:30Okay, put both hands down.
45:32Pull in.
45:33Now you're gonna try to lift your knee up.
45:34And lift, and lift.
45:36And so when you're doing it, yes, that's awesome.
45:38When you're doing that, that's great height.
45:40You're feeling your abs work, your obliques,
45:42and an area called sometimes the muffin top.
45:44Down here.
45:45And stuff here that you don't want
45:47to hang over the pants, right?
45:48Handlebars.
45:49Handlebars, right.
45:50Or whatever you call those.
45:51No handlebars when you have a few pretzels in the pan.
45:53Not the ones you eat.
45:54All right.
45:55So on the next move, we're gonna actually use the bar.
45:57So come on up.
45:58And you're gonna.
45:59No shoes?
46:00No shoes, no shoes, fine.
46:00Take your playground ball.
46:02So this is just a playground ball.
46:05You can use these at home, right?
46:06These are cute.
46:08Put the ball between your thighs.
46:10Smaller than my horse.
46:11And bring your heels.
46:14Very big horses, if you have ever noticed.
46:17Bring your heels together.
46:19So you're gonna make a small V with your feet, right?
46:21So you're gonna bend your knees and start to pulse down.
46:23Now, if you're doing this at home,
46:24you just use a sturdy piece of furniture, right?
46:26And pulse.
46:27Now, here's the fun part.
46:28Shake your hips side to side.
46:29Side, side, side.
46:30So you're feeling the stability and the bounce.
46:32S-factor of beginnings.
46:34Yeah, our pole goes the other way.
46:37Now shake it down for four.
46:39Shake it down, two, three, four, and up.
46:41So we keep doing that and you start to feel the heart.
46:44You can go lower.
46:45Yeah, that's it.
46:47And lower it down and you feel your obliques working.
46:49I have yoga after this.
46:50I'm not gonna be able to do any yoga.
46:52You take the ball out.
46:53That's a good one, too.
46:54Thanks, that's very good.
46:55And then the last one we have,
46:56which is one of my favorites,
46:57just a lean forward over the bar.
46:59So again, you're gonna engage all your core muscles.
47:01Feel the stability of the bar.
47:02And then just take your right heel close to your bottom.
47:05Bend your standing leg.
47:07Pull your waistline in.
47:08Now bring the thigh back
47:09and start to lift it up to the side.
47:11And side.
47:12So what's awesome about the technique
47:13is it's weight-bearing,
47:14but you're non-jarring on the joint.
47:16So you're building bone density.
47:18Right, and we just do about 500 more.
47:20Right, and then you're still doing that.
47:23And again, you're still doing that.
47:24If I get an abdomen that looks like this,
47:26and a waist that's that small.
47:29Right?
47:30Agreed.
47:31And then press the leg back a little farther.
47:32The leg rippa.
47:33Yeah, and then press back like that through your heel.
47:37I could be her mother, you know.
47:39You're doing awesome.
47:40So why do you use a belly bar?
47:42For the stability and to engage the core muscles.
47:44These are good, too.
47:45You should have one of these at home, right?
47:47They fold up.
47:48Put them in the closet if you don't use it,
47:49but keep it out.
47:50Yeah, or just, you know, kitchen countertop.
47:53Right in front of the TV.
47:53Just be careful if you're, yeah.
47:55Always do both sides.
47:56Yes, always do both sides,
47:57and we have complimentary stretches, too.
47:59Well, Tanya, thank you so much.
48:01We'll come over and have a class.
48:02We'd love to have you.
48:03And Tanya has brought a copy of her DVD,
48:05Physique 57 Express 30-Minute Full Body Workout.
48:09We have time for a question from our audience.
48:11Who has a question?
48:12About fitness, of course.
48:14Right there.
48:17It's hard, isn't it, Joey, on that board?
48:20Hi.
48:20Hi there.
48:21My name is Karen Marie.
48:22I'm from Chicago, Illinois,
48:23and I was curious to know,
48:24I really love the tree pose.
48:26I was wondering,
48:27what do you find the most relaxing yoga pose?
48:28Not the tree pose.
48:30Oh, my God.
48:31The tree pose, you're standing on one leg.
48:33No, that's not my favorite.
48:35Well, I think it's Supta Baddha Konasana.
48:39Look it up.
48:40One more question.
48:41Hi.
48:42Hi there.
48:43Hi there.
48:44My name's Jackie.
48:45I'm from New Jersey.
48:45I'm here with a group called Lady Runners.
48:47Hi.
48:48Hi.
48:49Nice to see you.
48:50We wanted to know,
48:50if you're interested in running or jogging,
48:52does your trainer encourage that?
48:54I do that on the treadmill.
48:56And I'd rather,
48:58when I'm outdoors, instead of running,
49:00I'd rather hike up hippos.
49:03I'd rather hike up hippos.
49:05I'm not a hiker.
49:06I'm not a hiker.
49:07I'm not a hiker.
49:07I'm not a hiker.
49:08Hike up big hills,
49:10and I'd rather ride my horse.
49:12And I have to choose now,
49:13because time is of the essence.
49:15Right, of course.
49:16So, and I'm not a good runner.
49:18I never was.
49:19Never was.
49:20People are always zipping by me.
49:23I love life on my farm,
49:24and I'm very hands-on in all of the upkeep
49:27and special projects we do around here.
49:29I incorporate my surroundings into everything I do.
49:32Mary Tedesco comes as often as my schedule permits.
49:37Our typical time is 6 or 6.30 a.m.
49:41A.m.
49:42Right before I have to go to New York.
49:46And the dogs are always here.
49:49This is a big part of their day,
49:50to spend time with Martha.
49:53Actually, one of the best parts
49:56of this whole workout is the view.
49:59From this second floor gym,
50:01I can look out over my fields to the stable.
50:04It's a great way.
