Practice Makes Perfect With Kate Walsh and Trainer Juliet Kaska

As featured in the September/October 2009 issue of VIVmag, Zen Fitness trainer Juliet Kaska has worked for two years with Kate Walsh, whose success on Grey’s Anatomy led to the spinoff Private Practice. Kaska and Walsh work out at the actor’s home, where she has her own Pilates studio, combining core work with resistance training in a circuit format. Music plays a key role in their training and, according to Kaska, they have a very specific group of bands and style of music that they listen to. “Her life is so busy and on the go that our workouts are not high-intensity, so the music needs to reflect this as well. There’s no hip-hop, heavy R&B or high-energy techno. Music creates a mood and gives us some energy, but the tracks are more soothing than upbeat,” Kaska explains.

Here is their playlist:
