My crush on Marisa Tomei

So I’m kinda crushing on Marisa Tomei. She’s got a killer bod, a great laugh and smile and she’s just all around adorable. She’s also just released a new workout DVD, Marisa Tomei: Core & Curves and anyone that can complete 100 crunches like she does, smiling all the while, wins my affection.

Despite the name of the DVD, the workout itself comes from New York-based celeb trainer Key Son and it revolves around circuit training and developing the long, lean feminine lines we all crave. Marisa is featured more as just the girl doing the workout (versus being the fitness expert) so doing the workout is a little like attending a personal training session with my new BFF Marisa Tomei. And it’s kind of refreshing to work out “with” her — she gets out of breath (just like I do!) and checks in with Key Son about it being the last rep already (just like I do in my head!).

Core & Curves includes two 30-minute workouts and one 10-minute quickie workout, and let me tell you, these workouts ain’t easy. I completed each one without the Gaiam sculpting band and still felt it in my calves and abs big-time for several days afterward.

But if it gets me anywhere near the shape Marisa was in for The Wrestler (she prepped for the film by working out with Key Son), count me in.

P.S. Did I mention that I got a chance to interview Marisa on the phone? Stay tuned for my story to appear at www.ellecanada.com shortly!
