Body By Bethenny DVD Review & Giveaway
The Real Housewives on NYC and Bethenny are my favorite guilty pleasure TV shows.
I love Bethenny! She’s funny and straight forward, but mostly I like her because she is a successful entrepreneur. I jumped at the chance to review her workout DVD: Body By Bethenny Body-sculpting workouts to unleash your SKINNY GIRL!
Award winning instructor, Kristen McGee (she’s featured in Fit in 5:Total Body Tone) joins Bethenny to guide you through 40 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of upper body strength training and a 5 minute booty blast. Bethenny wants to show that her exercise is accessible to everyone and she proves this in the video.
First you should know that the 40 minute yoga segment cured me of my headache. That’s reason enough for me to give this DVD my stamp of approval.
The length of the yoga segment is perfect. The poses are beginner to intermediate. The pace of the flow was perfect for working out the kinks and refocusing my thoughts.
The 10 minute strength training routine features basic arm exercise that are completed in 4 sets. The 5 minute booty blast, also featuring basic moves shows you quick moves you can do at anytime.
Would I recommend this DVD to a client? YES!
Will I do this DVD over and over again? YES, but probably just the yoga segment.
Acadia is giving a copy of Body By Bethenny to one FCITC reader!
To enter the giveaway leave a comment telling me what reality TV star you’d like to see staring in a fitness video (The Situation is my choice). For a second entry tweet about the giveaway and include @fitchicknyc in your tweet (you do not have to leave separate comment). Winner will be announced on Tuesday, October 6th.
Would LOVE to win this, Bethenny is also my favorite! As far as other reality stars I’d love to see in a fitness video, I’d pick Daniel Tosh or Chelsea Handler. I think both are hilarious and would love to be entertained by them while I’m working out.
Damn you took my answer! I would love to see a GTL workout lol….but since you said the Situation already, I would have to say….::thinkingcap:: Real House Wives of NJ and one of the moves would be how to flip a table and still look good! haha
I figure I took most everyone’s answer. LOL!
I’d like to see Rocco Dispirito not only because he’s cute but he’s a chef AND an athlete.
I would love to win the Bethenny video….the reality star I would love to see do a fitness video would be Theresa Guide of New Jersey housewives, just for the sheer humor I would get watching her trying not to mess up the hair , nails and makeup…lol

I’d love to see Tito Ortiz, the MMA fighter who was on Celebrity Apprentice.
I would love to see Lauren Conrad do one!
Kim Zolciak from Atlanta Housewives
I really want to try out this dvd, i’ve heard only great things! I would love to see Ali Sweeny (host of biggest loser) have her own workout DVD, she was on the 1st season of the show, and has totally kept off the weight and just seems really down to earth…i’m pretty sure she spins and works out a lot, so maybe it would work, and Bob and Jillian always get the spotlight anyway!
Bethenny is by far my favorite reality tv star! I would like to see the kardashian sisters star in a workout video! Thy are all so funny and I want to see what they do to keep in shape!
I’d like to see Khloe Kardashian do one.
oh I’ve been wondering how this DVD is!!! So glad you approve! I would love to try the yoga segment. I think it’d been funny Anthony Bourdain do some kind of yoga video! Lts of sarcasm, haha.
I would absolutely love to see Steve from Tough Love in a workout video. He looks BUFF and like he could kick my butt!
I, too, would like to see a workout video with Chelsea Handler. She is hilarious, and I recently read that she does some pretty hard core Pilates work outs. I love Bethenny, too, though. I’d love to win this video!
I love Bethanny and would love to do her worksheet. She cracks me up with her one liners!
I would love a video by Kelly Killoren Bensimon! She annoys me sometimes, but does seem fairly active.
this looks like a great DVD! You know I’m interested in getting a good yoga DVD, and your stamp of approval does speak wonders
I think the reality show star I would like to see in a work out video would probably be Doug Benson from the 5th season of Last Comic Standing. He is one of my favorite comedians and would have me laughing the entire time, no doubt.
Heidi Klum from Project Runway! She’s doing something right — she still looks fab after 4 kids!
Definitely Heidi Klum.
I love Bethenny too! And I heard the Situation IS doing a workout video! (I think I heard it on E! News or somewhere equally as reliable)
Oh god…I would like to see anyone BUT SPEIDI. They came up in my gossip feed (don’t judge me) and I almost vomited!
Sounds good to me!! Thanks for the review (although I’ll admit, I can’t stand the Housewives…any of them!!). But does that mean I won’t like their workout DVD? Maybe not!
Have a great weekend.
Jillian Michaels – but she already has multiple fitness videos. I don’t watch much reality TV – I used to love The Girls Next Door but they too made a fitness video, which was featured on the show!
Can I say Spencer Prat Hahahahahahaaaaaaa!
I love Bethenny Frankel and I believe that she is a true role model for women everywhere!! The tv reality star i would like to see make a workout dvd is brooke hogan because i would like to see how she stays so fit!!
I loovvee Bethenny! My choice would be Jennifer Grey–I know that she’s only done 2 wks with DWTS, but she has a rocking 50 yr old body.
GREAT giveaway!! I have been on the wait list FOREVER at my local library trying to see if I like this routine. So winning a copy would be FANTASTIC because I’m still like 84th on the LOOONG waiting list!!
I adore Bethenny. I love that she’s totally real about who she is, she has a consistent message and she owns it with no apologies. I have both of her books and I think on some subconscious level, she could be part of why I’m in school to be a natural foods chef.
As far as a reality star I’d like to see on a fitness video, maybe Jake Pavelka from The Bachelor (even though he bugs me a bit). He’s in fantastic shape.
Or Omarosa (from The Apprentice), because she won’t take crap from anyone! She’d be even meaner than Jillian! LOL!
Oh, and I did tweet about the giveaway (@fitfeat)
It would probably annoy the crap out of me – but when I read this, I thought about Flava Flav doing a exercise dvd and laughed. That would just be…..interesting..
but I’d rather use Bethenny’s dvd instead
Hilarious!!!
I love Bethanny so I’d love to try her workout! I’d love to see the Victoria’s Secret model’s get their workout on, like Miranda Kerr, Aalessandra Ambrosio, Giselle Bunchen, etc since their bodies are amazing!
I’d love to see Ali Fedotowsky star in a fitness video! She was so much fun on the Bachelorette… yes, I watched the entire season… this is reality tv confession time, right…
Also, I just wanted to say I think this post brought the funniest comments I think I’ve read all day. Thanks for making me smile and laugh, Jess!
I’d definitely purchase a workout DVD by Heidi Klum!
I love Bethenny! I would love to see Jessica Simpson star in a fitness video!
@thosebells on Twitter
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Kim Kardashian. I want to know how she maintains that butt!
Love Bethanny!
I would love to see Padma from Top Chef do a workout video… she must have some good tips to keep fit through all that delicious food! And, the Situation IS making a fitness video, I saw a clip of it… looks good.
I LOVE Bethenny!!
As for what reality star I’d love to see do a fitness video… hhmm… I think I’d have to go with either Austin Scarlett (from Project Runway fame) or Tim Gunn… because I love Tim Gunn and would watch him do anything!
I would love to see Elizabeth Hassleback!
Love Bethenny!!!
I would love to see Lauren Contad, Whitney Port or one of the ladies from “Jerseylicious”. Lauren and Whitney have such great bodies and the “Jerseylicious” ladies(especially GiGi and Olivia) would provide some humor to the video. Bethenny is by far my fave though!
I would love to see Caroling Manzo come out with a workout video. She’s almost as awesome as Bethenny is!!
Just thought of some others I’d like to see-Holly Madison, Angel Porrino & Laura Croft from “Holly’s World”. That would be an interesting workout vid. Haha
I can’t wait to try this video– the reality star I would want to see is Ray J from VH1s For the Love of Ray-J… talk about eye candy while you work out! that’s motivation!
I really love Bethenny, but if I had to choose another reality tv star, I would pull from the same show and say Kelly Bensimon, as long as she does not make a video only about running in NYC traffic.
Ha ha!
Wow, nice giveaway. I think Ramona from HW would be fun to watch and she would appeal to the older crowd..
