30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down With Kelly Coffey-Meyer

Intervals of boxing-style cardio alternated with multi-muscle toning. It's a time-efficient format that keeps you burning fat even as you're building a strong body. The aerobic segments are easy to follow, but tough ("your arms will feel like rubber"). The moves include basic crosses, jabs, hooks and upper cuts (meanwhile, your legs are nearly always in constant motion). The toning sections focus on "functional fitness" — strengthening your body to improve daily activities. Often working in multiple planes, you'll tone your upper and lower body at the same time (e.g. a reverse lunge with a bicep curl).
Note: The second workout is lightly more intense than the first.
