Beth Chamberlain recently visited with Matheny Medical and Educational Center adult patients at the new Punch Kettlebell Gym in Far Hills, New Jersey. 

The Guiding Light actress has collaborated with Punch founder, Anthony DiLuglio, to produce a fitness DVD, "The Kettlebell Way to a Perfect Body."

The Punch gym will use kettlebells, which resemble a flat-bottom cannonball with a handle, as the central tool for strength, endurance and body shaping. The kettlebells allow for movements and exercises that cannot be achieved with barbells, dumbbells or weight machines.

Chamberlain is donating the DVDs, which will be sold at the Far Hills Punch Kettlebell grand opening in Far Hills on Saturday, October 25.

Beth Chamberlin turns 45 today.

You'd never guess it by looking at the Guiding Light star, though. She's in great shape.

Beth Chamberlin is looking to expand her career beyond appearances on Guiding Light.

Along those lines, the talented actress has released a 40-minute workout DVD called "The Kettlebell Way: Volume 1." It's currently available for order at the advanced sales price of $39.95. The second volume in the series is set to be released in the coming months, along with an accompanying book.

Beth Chamberlin joined Guiding Light and took over the role of Beth Raines (now Beth Bauer) in 1989.

She left the show in 1991, only to come back six years later after returning to school to study psychology.

Aside from that brief history, here are some fun facts about the actress:

• Credits Guiding Light for piquing her husband's (Peter Roy) interest in her.

• Her home was featured in a 2004 edition of Better Homes and Gardens.

• Loves Seinfeld reruns. (Who doesn't?!?)

• Has four pets.

• Can walk up stairs on her hands.

Beth Chamberlin is glad that her character on Guiding Light is no longer pregnant. That's because the actress herself is psyched to show off her body.

"I've been doing this workout that has my body in the best shape I've ever been in my entire life," Chamberlin told Soap Opera Digest. "The drag of the pregnancy suit is, I finally have the abs I've always wanted and I have them covered by a big belly! This past summer I looked better in a bikini than I did when I was in my 20s."

Chamberlin developed a weight-oriented workout to help sculpt her body. In fact, she has so much confidence in the routine that she's hoping to release an exercise DVD based on it.

"I'm pretty excited about it," said Chamberlin. "I believe that this is the answer that women have been looking for. And men, too! My husband does the same workout, just with a heavier weight than I do."

Chamberlin plans to release the workout DVD in March.

Beth Chamberlin loves her fans.

And to prove it, the Guiding Light star will hold a fan luncheon on Friday, October 5 at Becco Restaurant, located at 355 West 46th Street in New York City.

You can join Beth and friends from 12:00-4:00 for an afternoon of food and conversation. Many wonderful items will also be available for auction, with all proceeds benefiting charity.
