How Do You Choose the Right Workout Routine with Rosa Acosta

Today's Episode Dr. Raj talks with fitness star Rosa Acosta about
how to get started working out and how to find a routine and
schedule that works with your life.   Today's Guest For those
who are into fitness and modeling Rose Acosta needs no
introduction. The bold and beautiful Dominican wears many hats; she
is a dancer, fitness guide, model, reality show star, and actress
all squeezed into one. She describes herself as a ballet dancer,
shower opera singer, and future chef. Born and raised in the
Dominican Republic, she started Classical Ballet studies at the age
of 4 in Centro De La Cultura in Santiago. She later moved on to the
Instituto de Cultura y Arte (ICA) where she excelled as one of the
most gifted students at the academy. She graduated with honors from
ICA and the ballet school of Norma Garcia with a bachelor's degree
in art with mentions in Classical Ballet. Rosa joined the Ballet
Nacional Dominicano as the youngest soloist member in 2002. Rosa
embarked on a modeling career in 2004 appearing in magazines, doing
commercials, and very prestigious Dominican enterprises. In 2006
she decided to leave home and join her mother in the United States
where she continues to work as a model and actress. Her career took
a major turn when she taped a series of videos showcasing her
exercise passion and flexibility as a professional dancer. These
were called the stretching videos and they had millions of views on
YouTube which launched her into the national spotlight, catching
the attention of some of the super popular hip-hop and R&B
artists such as Kanye West and Drake. She has also been featured in
dozens of videos with other famous artists such as Chris Brown, 50
Cent, P Diddy, Busta Rhymes, and Snoop Dogg. The fitness star and
entrepreneur recently launched a fitness clothing line called Body
by Rosa Acosta, and she's also working on accompanying fitness
videos to be released soon. She has also been on reality TV shows
such as Love & Hip Hop Hollywood and Khloe and Lamar.
