Physique 57 By: Raschelle Schottmuller •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
IN THE FALL ISSUE of AKA Mom, we asked our cover model Denise Richards to let us in on some of her secrets for staying in shape. She told us that Physique 57®
was a key ele-
ment and said it was “the most challenging workout for my body”. After hearing that we had to know more, so we set out to find out just what Physique 57®
is all about! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
HERE’S THE SCOOP!
CO-FOUNDERS, Jennifer Vaughan Maanavi and Tanya Becker created the Physique 57® program and launched it in 2006. It’s a modern approach to the classic Lotte Berk method which was created in the 1950’s by a skilled ballet dancer. Tis method is taught in classes in studios in New York, Los Angeles and the Hamptons. Te idea behind this workout is similar to interval training with an added twist. Tey take exercises that concentrate on particular muscle groups or parts of the body and repeat that exercise until that particular area is completely overloaded and then they stretch those muscles. Tis concept uses dance-based moves that focus on sculpting, posture and alignment, and core muscles. Tink Black Swan. Tis process helps create long, lean muscles that appear toned, but not bulky. Te results are amazing!
Now for the big question… how do those of us who do not live near a studio that teaches these classes take advantage of this fantastic new approach to exercise? Great news… there are a few different ways to get you working out like the celebrities and Physique 57® makes it easy for you to find an affordable option. Tey have DVD packages and equipment available for purchase on their website or you can simply choose a single DVD that fits your individual needs. Tey are also launching a book in January 2012 that couples the ideology of the workout with a diet plan. Pre-orders are available on their website. It will be a great tool to have on-hand!
