Filmed at Malibu's famed Zuma beach, this workout features instruction by model/actress and erstwhile WWE Diva contestant Lauren Jones. While Jones and her male and female partners are dressed like the lifeguards from the long-running action drama TV series Baywatch, the only other connection between that show and Beach Body Workout—which incorporates hand weights and mat work—is the routine groupings, such as “Rescue Shape,” “Swimming” (“save that drowning victim!”), “Resuscitation,” and “Surfing.” Jones is an energetic host, but she's not a licensed fitness instructor (the workout was “designed” by fitness expert Terry Simpson), and its unlikely that this somewhat gimmicky program will produce rapid Hasselhoff-riffic results for beginners. DVD extras include a segment on sun safety and a photo session with the “talent.” Optional. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
