Get great abs fast

Matt Jones

Dancing with the Stars

co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet has a few favorite moves from her latest Brooke 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 a DWTS 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."

For added difficulty and muscle toning, increase the pace or hold a 3-pound dumbbell in each hand. See the next workout moveSee the full Metabolism-Boosting Workout
