Push-Up Variation: Crocodile Jumps
I love push-ups. They are one of the best strength training moves out there. Not only do they sculpt your upper body and back, but they also tone your core.
Multitasking Move: Burning Squats
Strengthening your quads not only prevents injuries to your knees when running, but it also makes you stronger and faster. Not to mention, toned thighs also look great in a bathing suit. Here's a squat sequence I love to do because it instantly burns my thighs.
DVD Review: Cardio For Beginners
I was looking for a way to get my heart rate up on a rainy day and didn't feel like hitting the gym. So I popped in Cardio for Beginners ($15). It consists of two 10-minute sessions, two 20-minute sessions, and a 5-minute stretching session at the end, so you can mix and match workouts depending on how much time you have.
DVD Review: Dance and Be Fit — Latin Groove
I won't lie; I like a dance workout. After watching the fiery Latin numbers on So You Think You Can Dance, I was ready to rumba. Unfortunately, Dance and Be Fit — Latin Groove ($15) did not satisfy my dance craving.
Can't Do a Push-Up? Try This
A while ago, I told you about this great video showing what you can try if you don't have a treadmill but want to run indoors. The same guy who came up with that brilliant idea also came up with a way to work your upper body even if you can't quite do a push-up. Check out this video showing how to get some assistance with your push-up.
How Often Do You Use Fitness DVDs?
I own tons of workout videos, because as a mother of two, getting to the gym or to a class doesn't always happen. I can pop in a video after the girls are in bed or during a rare double nap time. I know some DVDs can be pretty boring or cheesy, but they're better than nothing.
Yoga Video: Stretch Those Hips and Hamstrings
Need to open up and stretch those tight hips and hamstrings? Not only is this a wonderful sequence to start out with before moving onto deeper poses like backbends, but it's also a great way to warm up before or after a run, hike, or bike ride.

Confession: I love playing video games — I especially love them on the Wii because I get to move, jump, and shake myself into a tizzy.

Shakira Gets Wild
Looking a little Flo-Joesque in a one-legged unitard, Shakira showed off her rockin' bod and moves in the Halloween-appropriate video for "She Wolf," her latest single.
Shakira recently told reporters that she got in shape for the video by doing lots of abdominal exercises and dancing for hours each day — the pop star is a huge fan of dance aerobics. Not without her vices, Shakira can't give up her love for chocolate and sugar.
