If you're a dancer at heart (or just want to move and look like one), then you’ll want to check out this series from world-renowned dancer, choreographer, and Dancing With the Stars fan favorite Louis Van Amstel. Featuring dance styles like Cha Cha, Disco, and Jive, Amstel’s high-energy dance fitness classes are currently offered at Crunch Gyms across the nation. But you don't need a membership (or A-list status) to reap the body-transforming benefits that these fun classes offer. Master the moves at home (and burn some major calories) with the LaBlast DVD series ($14.99 per DVD, $49.99 for the 5-DVD set; lablastfitness.com).
What to expect: The first three DVDs in the series are solely dance based and designed to help you blast fat while refining your dance skills with simple choreography. Levels four and five, Twist 'N Burn and Blast a Move, incorporate free weights for additional muscle toning.
You'll need: Light hand weights.
