Bob Harper: Totally Ripped Core, $15, mytrainerbob.com
What you'll need: a pair of 3- to 5-pound dumbbells
Calories burned: 380 during a 48-minute routine, 65 during an 11-minute bonus*
The skinny: Testers loved the "fun mix of fast-paced core exercises," like weighted side crunches, and muffin-top-melting plyometric bursts from The Biggest Loser's master motivator. They also gave a thumbs-up to the on-screen countdown clock; it helped them push through the full routine, which made one reader "'good' sore every time I completed it." Finish with the stretchy bonus session, which includes trunk rotations and windmills.

DVD? I've been doing http://www.dirtyyogaco.com which went live last year and is brilliant. Take a look. Really very impressive and nothing like it around. Streaming means it is always there when you want it and easier than loading a DVD. I love it.
