Besides her iconic musical accomplishments, TLC’s Chilli is known for her rockhard abs and her dedication to a healthy lifestyle. The sexy third of TLC held a press conference today alongside Beachbody CEO Carl Daikler to announce a new dance workout titled “CIZE” which translates to “the end of exercise.” Chilli was tapped by Daikler and Beachbody superstar Shaun T to be a part of the company’s newest workout solution. Chilli visited the Beachbody headquarters on Tuesday, Jan.12 for a social media takeover consisting of a press conference, a Tweet and A and later a Periscope takeover of Carl Daikeler’s office, Chilli had the opportunity to speak with media about her new collaboration and even lead some lucky media reporters in an impromptu workout session.
“When Carl called me about the new Cize workout, I was excited because that’s my kind of work out! I am a dancer by nature and that’s the best way for me to get a work out in,” Chilli explains. “You start the tape and you’re dancing and having a good time and before you realize it you’re sweating and your heart rate is up and you’re getting a great workout, but it doesn’t feel like it.”
Besides being featured in the workout video, Chilli got in the studio and created a workout song titled “Body” that goes along with the CIZE workout routine.
Daikler thanked Chilli for being an advocate for a healthy lifestyle.
“What we love about Chilli is that she was already using the products and a great example of living healthy before we came on board. One of our coaches told me that she was tweeting about Beachbody products and I tweeted her and we started going back and forth and became great friends. She is someone that wants to help people change their lives for the better,” Daikler says. “She didn’t ask us how much money she was getting paid, she just jumped in and started sharing information on products that she believes in.”
Having Chilli do a song specifically for CIZE was a huge coup for Daikeler and fans that tuned in to Chilli’s social media takeover. With lyrics like “anything you want, anything you need, you got to work for it, don’t give up, you got to believe,” Chilli says she hopes “Body” inspires people as they focus on their health and weight loss goals. “Everyone gets discouraged sometimes. I get discouraged, but I know I have to keep going. It all comes down to how bad you want something, and how much you’re willing to work for it.”
