Kim It requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells, which may make it difficult for beginners. If you're envying the six-pack abs on Jillian Michaels, trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," look no further than her Shape-Up Backside exercise DVD for an intense high-impact workout. But if you give it a try, even in the comfort of your living room you'll think you're in a gym -- trainer yelling in your ear and all. There's a lower-level option, but Michaels likes to "kick your butt," as she says, to get you to feel the burn.
