For 10 years, Rich Guzman has trained actor Jennifer Beals, whose workout is featured in the November/December 2008 issue of VIVmag. Beals is one of the stars of the hit television show The L Word on Showtime, playing power-hungry babe Bette Porter, but in real life she is a jock at heart. Beals culled her competitive edge from playing basketball while growing up in Chicago, so it’s not surprising that she likes music to pump things up. Here are some of Beals’ favorite up-tempo tunes and old classics that motivate her when she works out. Click here to subscribe to VIVmag.

As featured in the September/October 2008 issue of VIVmag, trainer Stephanie Laff has worked with the award-winning actress Sela Ward for more than a year at the Sports Club/LA, where Laff has converted Ward into a kettle-bell devotee. Her playlist for Ward consists of upbeat alternative-pop music. “When we train at Sports Club/LA there’s music playing lightly in the background. But when I want to kick things up a bit I slip on my [iPod] shuffle. I love these songs because they are fun, high-energy and mostly unknown,” says Laff. Click here to subscribe to VIVmag.

Actress Kim Basinger and Podfitness trainer and former Today show fitness expert Kathy Kaehler like to pump up the volume during their workouts. “Kim and I love upbeat pop music to pick up the energy in the room,” Kaehler says. “Good music makes the time pass and sets a lively mood.” Kaehler helped Basinger get in top form for Basinger’s very physical role in the upcoming feature film, While She Was Out. To read more about Basinger and the training program Kaehler created for her, see VIVmag’s July/August 2007 fitness feature.
