ACTIVATE YOUR BODY’S FAT BURNING ABILITIES IN 60 SECONDS WITH THESE EXERCISES

Dancing with the Stars co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet has a few favorite moves from her latestBrooke Burke Body DVDs, 30-Day Slim Down and Sexy Abs. These three exercises will tone your abs, legs, and butt—and they're so quick you can knock them out during aDWTS commercial break.

"Do each in 30-second to 1-minute 'pods,'" Burke-Charvet advises. "Tackling a whole minute is hard every time. And when you get that burn, do 10 more seconds. That's when your body starts changing."

Lower into squat with hands on thighs—don't let knees go past toes (A). With core engaged, stand and raise arms straight overhead (B). Lift right leg high while lowering right arm to meet it (C). Return to start. Repeat, alternating sides, for 1 minute.

Triangle crunch

Kneel, place left hand lightly on back of head, right hand on floor to side. Lift left leg 2 inches off floor (A). Crunch to left while raising left leg, so body forms a straight line from hip to toe (B). Lower leg and repeat for 1 minute; switch sides and repeat.
