If you’ve been wondering for years now when Trudie Styler might release a celebrity fitness DVD series — complete with music from Sting’s classical album of 2006, “Songs From the Labyrinth” — well, then, you’re full of it. Nobody was thinking that. We were all waiting for the DVD series on tantric sex — starring Trudie and Sting.

But alas, it’s true. The environmental activist, who is regularly criticized for her lavish use of private jets, helicopters, and just about anything else barring mass transportation, hopes each DVD will reflect her and Sting’s “philosophy on eco-friendly living”. It’s currently being filmed on location at the couple’s Tuscan Villa and will combine elements of yoga, Pilates and ballet with traditional exercises by celebrity fitness trainer James D’Silva. From the release,

“Bonus material will include a tour of Il Palagio’s kitchen and gardens. More than 70% of the food at Il Palagio comes from the estate itself, including products that are sold to the public such as honey, olive oil, fruit, vegetables, Tuscan salami and, coming in 2010, wine. Additionally, there is a behind-the-scenes look at how Il Palagio uses the surrounding land to create a self-sustaining and eco-friendly house that runs on bio fuels. And lastly, a lifestyle piece about organic wine production, the conversion of estate lands into biodynamic vineyards, and the story behind Sister Moon, the couple’s organic wine label.”

Obviously, these will probably sell like crazy — which is a good thing at least for charity. A percentage of profits will go towards the Unicef Ecuador Water Project, which provides rainwater collection and filtration tanks to communities in the Ecuador rainforest.
