Certified aerobics instructors Maura Jasper and Hilken Mancini created punk rock aerobics to save themselves--and you--from all of the lame, boring workouts out there. To get started, grab two 3-5-pound objects you can comfortably use as weights (try 2-liter bottles filled with water). Then warm up with 10 minutes of dancing or running in place to your favorite punk CD (or use our editors' picks, at right). Do this workout three to five days a week for a strong--and vicious--body.
