MP3 Workouts

Do you ever see a fit, toned, and very athletic celebrity and think, “I wish I could look like that?” But alas, affording—let alone booking an appointment with—their personal trainer is next to impossible. Well, maybe in person, that is. With GYMp3, you can download a structured workout from celebrity trainer Greg Isaacs, allowing you to complete the workout at your gym, with your iPod / Mp3 player in hand.

Isaacs, known for working with Clint Eastwood, Kurt Russell, and the cast of Friends, was named one of the top 100 trainers in 2004 and 2005 by Mens Journal. On ULTIMATEp3, Isaacs runs a full 60-minute workout. Highlights of the workout include treadmill cardio, dumbbell weight sculpting, and core flexibility and abdominals. To keep motivation high, a lively soundtrack is included. For those who want to tailor their own workouts to their own needs, individual sections of ULTIMATEp3 are available for download.

Slated for future release is the RUNp3, also by Isaacs. Whether you’re an experienced runner or an amateur, Isaacs’ interval workout will help you increase your speed, stamina, and strength on your neighborhood runs. Whether walking, jogging, or running, the 40-minute workout can easily be tailored to your personal needs. Post-run, Isaacs takes you through a series of stretches and abdominal workouts.

Also slated for future release is QUICKp3, or 5-minute workouts for the busy person on the go. Hosted by Kathy Kaehler, who has worked with Julia Roberts, Kim Basinger, and Jennifer Aniston, these 5-minute workouts can be done anywhere your iPod / Mp3 player can go. If you have more time to spare, the routines can be put together for a 40-minute total workout.

Each workout comes with a downloadable instruction booklet, to make sure you get the most out of your workout, without injury. ULTIMATEp3 is available in total for $11.99 or $0.99 per segment at www.itunes.com. For more information, or to stay updated on the future releases, please visit www.gymp3.com.
