Burke will appear live on ABC's Good Morning America on Thursday, followed by an interview on ABC Radio, and an additional live interview on ABC News Now in the afternoon.

The tour culminates with Burke appearing on the Rachel Ray Show, tentatively airing on Monday 2/23. Burke will speak about the new collection in-depth with Rachel Ray, and share her workout secrets with the audience. Each member of the audience will be given the first volume of the 3-DVD set, appropriately titled "That's the Way I Like it Abs."
Burke hopes that her enthusiasm about the product will translate not only to Rachel Ray's audience, but to viewers at home as well: "I created 'Disco Abs' so everyone could have as much fun getting in shape as I do. This collection will change the way people think about exercise."
Disco Abs is a complete fitness program, combining 30-minute cardio workouts with targeted problem- area exercises. The high-energy series features workouts led by Cheryl Burke and choreographed to the tunes of The Village People, Earth Wind & Fire, and KC & the Sunshine Band, among others.
Disco Abs will be released this Friday, February 6th via a national television campaign and Time Life's website, www.timelife.com.
