This is not your typical toning workout: Dynamic Toning--inspired by yoga, dance, and Pilates more than weight training--focuses on balance, alignment, and core conditioning as well as strength and flexibility. This 60-minute video includes three different "precision toning" workouts, done barefoot, with background rhythms from live drummers. Instructor Marion Gotto clearly explains the sometimes complicated positions and movements.

Workout 1, Total Toning (20 minutes)
The moves are slow and controlled. A head to toe workout that will leave you feeling strong and focused.

Workout 2, Upper Body Toning (21 minutes)
Very light weights (1 to 3 pounds) in nontraditional exercises. For example, hold your arms straight out in front and do slow biceps curls from this position, curling your wrist to touch your shoulders at the end, meanwhile lifting the heels to add the challenge of balance. Pushups finish out this segment.

Workout 3, Abdominal Toning (19 minutes)
Pilates-based, core conditioning exercises for the abs. You won't find a single traditional crunch here. Instead, you're working your deepest abdominal muscles with exercises such as roll-ups and a variety of exercises done on your back with shoulders and legs lifted.
