Kournikova Color

Anna's Army explores the current explosion of Russian talent on the women's professional tennis tour. Maria Sharapova shocked the world last summer when she became the first Russian to win Wimbledon at just seventeen years of age. And yet, Maria is just one part of a tidal wave of fiercely competitive and attractive Russians taking over the game. Anna's Army explores the Odyssey these girls have taken from harsh Soviet origins to their glamorous, globe-trotting lifestyles. In the process, the film covers the bizarre and largely unknown history of Russian tennis, the galvanizing impact of Anna Kournikova and Boris Yeltsin and the turbulent events that have molded the best players in the game. Interesting side notes include historic footage and photos of the last Russian Tsar and Soviet leaders playing tennis, rare footage of today's stars training together as little kids, and a comical Boris Yeltsin during a heated match. The film features a section on the Slavic femme fatales' marketing successes and status as cross-over icons in fashion and culture. Coverage of the Russian training system shown on this DVD hints that we may be seeing many more Russian players competing in the top ranks for years to come. This DVD is not regionally encoded.

Tennis requires strength, power, endurance, balance, and speed, and tennis star Anna Kournikova's 52-minute workout, aimed at experienced athletes, emphasizes these fitness elements. Kournikova warms up by jumping rope, including one-footed hopping and speed jumping. Then she trains muscle endurance with 15 to 20 repetitions of varied lower- and upper-body exercises using dumbbells and a stability ball. Next a partner joins her for the medicine ball segment, including overhead throw, side toss, power drop, and other power moves. She then trains for speed and agility with high-knee sprints, lateral shuffles, and a variety of cone sprints (you won't be able to do these in your living room). Finally she challenges your anaerobic endurance with plyometric (explosive power) moves like jumping boxes and speed stepping. This video is recommended for serious athletes looking to improve their sports performance and all-around fitness. This is definitely not for the beginner or casual exerciser. --Joan Price

Set a course for adventure with this classic Omega Seamaster 300M stainless steel men's automatic chronometer watch, part of Omega's James Bond collection. You'll be able to negotiate all manner of adventures and still look stylish in the boardroom or at the baccarat table. This highly accurate, self-winding timepiece is also a great diving watch, with water resistance to 300 meters (984 feet) and a helium escape valve, which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn in highly pressurized environments (such as long-term underwater work evading the bad guys). The large silver rhodium-plated case measures 41mm wide (1.61 inches) and it's complemented by a handsome stainless steel bracelet band. A blue elapsed time unidirectional bezel frames a wavy blue dial that includes luminous dotted hour markers, luminous-tipped skeleton hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. Other features include a 48-hour power reserve and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal. It's powered by Omega's break-through Co-Axial escapement. Developed in conjunction with master watchmaker George Daniels, it's based on double co-axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial escapement system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time. This watch also features the Omega 2500 caliber automatic movement, which has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified." To achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures.

Designed to accommodate your active lifestyle, this Omega Seamaster stainless steel quartz watch for women is a great choice for rough-and-tumble adventures thanks to its water resistance to 300 meters (984 feet). This sporty timepiece measures 28mm wide (1.1 inches) and is topped by a unidirectional elapsed time bezel in blue with scalloped edges for a good grip under any condition. The wavy blue dial face includes luminous dotted hour markers, luminous skeleton hands (with seconds hand), and a date window at 3 o'clock. Other features include a precise Swiss quartz movement (Omega caliber 1456) and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal.

Presenting a classic design fused with innovative details, this Omega Midsize Seamaster Quartz Watch #2223.80.00 features a rich blue dial face, which is encased and protected by a scratch-resistant-sapphire dial window. Bringing easy readability, an alternating series of indexes and index beads adorn the dial, and a handy date calendar rests at the three o'clock position. Indexes and Arabic numerals grace the unidirectional, metal bezel, for an eye-catching contrast, and the 36.25-millimeter case is made of stainless steel. The band, also stainless steel, comes equipped with a fold-over-push-button clasp to ensure easy wearability. Built tough to accommodate your adventurous lifestyle, this striking timepiece brings your sporty style a sophisticated twist. Powered by Swiss-quartz movement, this watch is water resistant up to 984 feet.
