Trainer Tony Martinez releases 'Janet's Workout' on DVD
 Janet's trainer Tony Martinez has launched a website to promote a new workout DVD titled "Janet's Workout" in which he shares the workouts that he has been giving Janet for the past ten years.
The DVD comes in two formats: a regular version, and a version containing a bonus "Janet Jackson Ab routine".
According to the website, the DVD will contain a full-body workout and "20 minutes of Janet Jackson's dance routines performed and broken down by her head dancer. This great dance is broken down to work the upper body, lower body and a combination of both."
In the version that contains the abdominal workout, Martinez says that he will show you "how Janet got the most envied abs in the industry."
It is unknown at this point exactly which of her dancers appear on this DVD.
The website does not explain whether Janet actually appears on the DVD, however in the DVD's description it does say: "Also you will laugh when Janet gives her trainer Tony a hard time."
In addition, the website contains a video commercial that features Janet discussing why she has chosen to train with Tony Martinez for so long.
It appears that the only place this DVD will be sold is on Martinez's website, however the site right now apparently is not taking orders. |
