Gladiator WorkoutWe probably won't be seeing any more seasons of the New American Gladiators but it's great to see some of the foxy female gladiators showing up in a workout video.

In this fitness DVD, Gina Carano [Crush], Jennifer Widerstrom [Phoenix] and Monica Carlson [Jet] all work those hard, strong bodies while instructing people following along at home.

Tragically, three male gladiators are also included in the DVD. Titan is the only one I can tolerate - Wolf and the screaming guy with all the tattoos are basically insufferable. But that's what the fast-forward and mute buttons are for, right?

I have to admit that Widerstrom [Phoenix] became my favorite gladiator - she's so curvy and athletic that it's hard not to be awed by her. Still, Jet always came off as pretty brainy and Carano as self-effacing and tough, which are also very admirable qualities. It's really a shame that the male gladiators seemed like such preening morons compared to the women.

You can find the DVD at Amazon.com. It's a worthwhile purchase for fans of the female gladiators and even for people looking to shape up.
