Derby Lite What it is: Remember the many hours you spent going 'round and 'round the roller rink? Well, skating is back, but it's better this time around. Derby Lite, a roller-derby-inspired fitness class (sans the violence) incorporates stretching, conditioning, cardio and skating drills for all-over fitness. Started by roller-derby-competitor-turned-mom Barbara "Queen B" Dolan of Oak Park, Ill., it's poised to take the country by storm.

What it costs: Dues are $60 per month, plus required gear. (If Derby Lite isn't in your town, let them know.)

Why it's fun: You get a tough, two-hour workout that makes you feel like a kid again, and an excuse to buy some pretty nifty gold-plated skates. You can even work out in fishnets!

Nothing beats good, old fashioned running for the ultimate workout! Five miles in the morning, 30 minutes of free weights after, then 30 minutes of yoga before bed. Nothing faddish about it, but it works for me! That is the key - - find something that you love, then stick with it.

I have Hip Hop Abs by Shaun T and he's hilarious but the workouts are so-so. I'll stick to yoga and basic circut training. Good music can help bust through a fitness plateau.

I would love to try the anti-gravity yoga.

Everyone always says that working out makes you feel better, but honestly it just makes me feel dirtier... maybe one of these would help?
