On August 25, supermodel Claudia Schiffer will celebrate her 44th birthday, and we are happy for her: a dizzying career, a successful family life, three charming children, unfading beauty and girlish slimness - this woman has it all!
If you want to be as slim as Claudia Schiffer, the fitness videos “Super Fitness” or “Perfect Curves” are exactly what you need!
Claudia Schiffer takes fitness seriously. Together with her trainer, Katie Kahler, she developed these safe and effective exercises that are suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes. Katty Kahler is a recognized authority on developing safe, easy exercises that produce real results.
“These exercises make me stronger, I have more energy and I can do them anywhere. Moreover, you too!” says Claudia Schiffer.
The program consists of two parts:
1) warm-up, training of the upper muscle groups (abs, arms, chest and back) and stretching;
2) warm-up, training of the lower muscle groups (legs, calves, thighs and buttocks), as well as final stretching exercises.
In this video, Claudia Schiffer shows fitness exercises that really work and pump your muscles well. Videotapes with her workouts called “Perfect Forms” (“Super Fitness”) were released back in 1990 and since then have not lost their popularity and effectiveness, as well as similar fitness programs
It is absolutely not necessary to do everything in one day, especially since it is not always possible to allocate 2 hours for fitness in your schedule. Just alternate the first and second part every other day. And if you have very little time, you can break the workout into several parts

Interesting Facts:
- During her modeling career, Claudia appeared on the covers of glossy magazines more than 900 times.
- The model's net worth is estimated at $50 million. At the height of her fame, Schiffer earned $50,000 in one day.
- The podium star is far from being a stupid blonde: she knows several languages, understands painting and draws a little herself, and is interested in cinema.
- Thanks to her husband, Claudia has the title Countess of Oxford and should be addressed as "Lady Claudia" in formal settings.
In 2002, Claudia married British producer and film director Matthew Vaughn. By the way, she was also right: her husband is the son of Count George Albert Harley de Drummond, who, in turn, was the godson of King George VI. Claudia and Matthew have three children: 10-year-old Caspar, 8-year-old Clementine and 3-year-old Cosima.
- Claudia's favorite sports are alpine skiing, tennis, and dancing. She loves to travel.
- Schiffer does not constantly diet and loves to pamper herself; among her favorite dishes are pancakes with jam. But, of course, not too often, and she has a signature way to lose weight quickly.
- Claudia still receives up to 3,000 letters from her fans every week.
The unspoken rivalry between Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer seems to never end. At least as long as we have reasons to continue their correspondence competition. Comparing, for example, fitness complexes on DVD.
Ivan Sokolov, a sports doctor, deputy chief physician for medical work in Moscow of the Planet Fitness group of companies, helped us figure out which complex to choose for women and why.
– Claudia Schiffer’s “Superfitness” complex is designed for figure correction. Cindy Crawford's "New Dimension" complex - for restoring your figure after pregnancy and childbirth, that is, it is only for young mothers?
- Why? It is customary to work with physically unprepared people who are overweight using gentle methods, as with pregnant women or those who have recently given birth. That is, for those simply losing weight, it is also quite suitable. Both complexes are very similar in methodology, the exercises are mostly the same, the difference is in the nuances. And the main disadvantage of both is a floor-length gray beard. These are very old exercises, from the late 90s - the era of the end of shaping and the very dawn.
- Why is this bad?
- A person who is at all familiar with modern activities will become bored. These complexes are good for those who are just starting out or who absolutely cannot get out of the house.
- However dynamic lunges forward, which both stars are very fond of: put your leg out, squatted, put it down, put it out again - not the safest exercise for beginners...
- Agree. Many beginners do not have very good coordination; it is uncomfortable and even dangerous for them to make such attacks. And in women who have recently given birth, the ligaments are still too soft - this is the result of the action of hormones that prepared the body for childbirth. Crawford already has dynamic lunges at the introductory stage. It's definitely early. She also has one drawback: at once there are quite a lot of strength static exercises a la Pilates. They require the so-called “muscle sense” that athletes and trained people have. You know, this is when they say “feel the tension of such and such a muscle.” The biceps, for example, are easy to feel. But the deep muscles of the core, the internal muscles of the pelvis... A beginner most likely will not feel them and will do the exercises incorrectly and therefore ineffectively.
“We’re all about minuses and shortcomings, but Crawford, for example, has something specifically for the lower back.
– Yes, I counted at least 5 exercises from physical therapy with her, Schiffer also has them, but less. These exercises will help those who have problems, particularly in the lumbar spine.
– Aren’t these the exercises that require a developed “muscular sense”?
– There are these and others that even an inexperienced person in fitness can cope with.
– How to figure out: what to reject and what to do?
–If the exercise turns out well, confidently, do it. If you don’t feel anything and are generally perplexed as to why it is and what it should do, skip it.
– Does this also apply to the Claudia Schiffer complex?
– They are generally very similar. Schiffer has a somewhat poorer range of exercises. Because of this, the complex, on the one hand, is simpler and more accessible, and on the other, more boring. And I would criticize her for what gives a lot of ballistic (dynamic) stretching: when we swing ourselves to stretch more. For most people, such stretching is ineffective, traumatic and painful. Replace it with a static one.
– Is there anything we can praise Schiffer for?
– For classic work with problem areas: thighs, buttocks. And Crawford (another minus!) has a lot of exercises that require very good coordination: complex steps with twisting, stands on one leg. Beginners should not quickly move on to such exercises. In addition, there are a lot of asymmetrical movements, side twists. For example, lying on your back, raise your legs and lower them, holding them together, then to the right, then to the left. The lower back lifts off the floor - such twisting is not allowed if you have osteochondrosis or back pain: there is a danger of pinching a nerve. In the third part, Crawford also gives serious strength loads to the pectoral muscles - intense push-ups. A breastfeeding woman should not do this!
- Let's summarize: Can these complexes be used for home training by making the adjustments listed above?
- Yes. Another thing is that fitness is a procedure that is prescribed for life. Sooner or later you will want to try something new and more interesting.
CINDYVSCLAUDIA
Cindy Crawford:
– An exercise on the pectoral muscles that is undesirable for nursing mothers.
+ Clear periodization of the complex: introductory, second and third stages. The load increases gradually; for a person who is untrained or overweight, this is important.
+ There are exercises from physical therapy.
Claudia Schiffer:
– Deserves reproach for monotony.
– Dynamic lunges undesirable for beginners.
– Poor range of exercises.
+ Classic treatment of problem areas.
+ Simple exercises that, due to their accessibility, are quite suitable for people who are far from fitness.
And both have one big plus! Claudia Schiffer has three children, Cindy Crawford has two, so their example is very inspiring! As for the disadvantages, you have been warned about them, which means you are not afraid of them.

Fitness with Claudia Schiffer is a relatively easy set of exercises that will make you slimmer. Get ready for a wardrobe change! The film was released on video cassette in 1995, its full title is “Claudia Schiffer - Superfitness: strengthening muscles.” The developers of the complex are Claudia Schiffer and her trainer Katti Kahler.
I don’t want to rewrite here everything that is written about this tape on the Internet - that Katty Kahler is an expert in developing easy and effective exercises for both beginners and experienced athletes. I think it’s enough to look at Claudia’s figure and believe that, if you want, you can get the same one by working out with this video 3-5 times a week and combining exercises with a diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Love yourself! Don't demand too much from yourself! Exercise as much as your strength allows and no more. Gradually you will strengthen your muscles and say goodbye to excess weight. But this will only happen if you love your body and sculpt it like a beautiful work of art.
