Video: New Year's Eve Cocktail Dress Workout

This quick toning workout will help you get in shape for that cocktail dress you've been eying for this year's New Year's Eve party. Tone your arms, shoulders, back, legs, and booty with this simple exercise sequence which combines weights with yoga moves to lengthen and strengthen those stubborn trouble spots.

You will need a mat and a pair of dumbbells - around 5lbs, or less if you are at a very low fitness level.

Do this a few times a week before New Year's Eve, and you'll be all set to slip into that sexy dress!

Video - 10 Minute Kettlebell Workout

Here is a quick kettlebell workout you can do in just a few minutes. This one actually looks pretty safe (unlike some of the other videos out there that make me cringe just to watch - they are just asking for injury unless your form is PERFECT!);  however, you will still want to consult with your doctor or chiropractor before trying a new workout like this - especially with a heavy weight like a kettlebell. But some of these moves provide great strengthening and toning, without putting too much stress on your joints.

It's fast, effective, and pretty fun as long as you don't overdo it.
