I had a blast joining Hollywood Trainer Jeanette Jenkins and Superstar Kelly Rowland in this new workout DVD!

This workout starts with a fun heart pumping standing warm-up to prep you for 6 chapters of Sexy Abs Training.

This workout will help you develop core strength, tone & flexibility so you look good & feel good!

Follow this Sexy Abs Workout 3x a week in addition to cardio, total body training & a healthy meal plan. If you’re short on time you can just do your favorite chapter.

A: Hi, Achilina! Thanks for using the DVDs. You should try to do some foam rolling on your legs, and possibly stay away from running or any intense cardio until you find out what is going on with your knee. One of the DVDs that has less intense leg work is the Balance Ball Core Cross Train. I think you can use that one safely!

A: Hi Anna, Thank you for your question and kudos! Gaiam definitely has some good yoga and Pilates DVDs, but the most important thing for you to remember when you are pregnant is to really listen to your body. It important to FEEL comfortable, so if a workout or a move makes you feel nervous and insecure of doing it – just don’t at that time. Maybe you will feel different next time. Also, twists are not recommended during pregnancy so it would be useful to find yoga DVDs that are specific to prenatal and pregnancy. There is tons of material out there!! Try Shiva Rea’s Prenatal Yoga DVD and Kit. Have a beautiful pregnancy!

A: Dear Heather, Thank you for your question! Congratulations on being a healthy mom!! For many, there is always a little stretchy skin that remains after having a baby but, that said, everyone is different when it comes to the elasticity of the skin.

I think strength training could be a great new thing for you to explore, and with that a lot of core and abdominal work based on Pilates. In this way you will strengthen the abdominal structures from the inside out, so to speak. Balance Ball ab work is great for that (click the video preview link for my 8 Minute Ball Workout). Also, Ana Caban has great Pilates DVDs through Gaiam!!

Of course, diet as you know is crucial here!! If you want tips on how to recharge and restructure, refer to my 10-Week Transformation here on the blog! It might help you on the way.

A: Hi Lauren, Gaiam’s yoga DVDs are great! Rodney Yee is an amazing instructor and I use his DVDs myself. For starters, check out his Yoga: Core Cross Train and Power Yoga: Total Body DVDs.

I only do yoga for myself, but what I usually do is a series of poses that I need that day, a class at a studio here in LA, or a DVD with Rodney!! No excuses.

Alyssa Buckley recently interviewed me for the blog 29 Secrets. We talked about my new Reebok Bootcamp DVD, circuit training, motivation, and more:

“Motivation is key,” says Tanja. “Everyone loses the motivation sometimes and I always say that is when you have to switch to auto pilot so that you get the work done. Getting in shape and seeing results are of course an amazing motivator, but there won’t be results if there is no work done.” Ask yourself, “Why are you doing this? Who is your role model and what kind of inspiring traits does that person have? What will you tell yourself when you want to quit? If you are prepped with these answers they might help you get through the rough spots.”
