Bon Iver to release workout DVD Justin Vernon’s exercise regimen to be set to music for body-conscious folk-fans.
Of all the reasons for Bon Iver’s miraculous transformation from pretty-good folk singer to one of the most artful and successful musicians of his generation, we never figured the importance of getting in shape. But according to his personal trainer on this much-posted clip, by paying a little regular attention to his body, Justin Vernon has turned his life around: “You can see the difference in him [in the two years since starting to work out]. He’s accomplished so much in his personal life, it’s awesome to see.”

Now, it seems that the above clip, far from being tongue-in-cheek, will form part of an exercise DVD. So if you’ve been inspired by what Justin has achieved, you should buy the DVD, directed by Calgary director Dan Huiting, featuring the music of Bon Iver, S. Carey, Megafaun, We are the Willows and more. In an interview with MTV, when asked about release dates, Huiting said “[T]he fuck if I know. Soon-ish. How’s that sound? It’s done, it’s color corrected, so I guess when they get back from tour. Month or two, maybe?
