What you'll need: nothing

Calories burned:* 291 per 45-minute routine

Why we love it: Instructor Julianne Hough of Dancing with the Stars fame has experience with newbies, and it shows, testers say. The club-ready routines are "easy enough to follow for those who are a little less coordinated. You do a combo two or three times, then add on." Hough offers a "helpful" seven-minute dance-lesson segment that teaches the steps before stringing them together. Expect plenty of hip swiveling, spins and kicks, and even a Tina Turner-esque fast-feet move for a moderate cardio workout in each 12-minute combination. "It's amazing how simple moves put together look so good," our testers marvel. Fringe benefit: "You can really work your abs."
