Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel puts her money where her wisecracking mouth is. Her Body by Bethenny workout is an excellent, well-balanced yoga-focused workout that anyone at any level of fitness can try and gain results from. Frankel, who's written several guides to being a "SkinnyGirl" and has gained fame as a celebrity chef, reinventing fattening traditional recipes to be lower-fat and more healthful, works the exercise portion of her sleekness every bit as much as the diet. In Body by Bethenny Frankel works out, and kibitzes, with yoga instructor Kristin McGee in a 40-minute routine that will be familiar to anyone who's taken a basic yoga class, yet which manages to be extra challenging with its brisk pace and levels of suggested poses. Frankel fans will laugh out loud when in the middle of doing the challenging workout herself, she cracks wise like she does on her reality TV shows. (When McGee demonstrates "back namaste" pose, with the hands held together, as if in prayer, up the middle of the back, Frankel says, "So I can say I did something religious today.") The rest of the workout is a short but challenging weights/strength-training section, and a bonus five-minute "Booty Blast" that features bun exercises that can be done anywhere. Taken altogether, the workout is challenging, enjoyable, and doable by almost anyone--and the hour really flies by. Bonus features include some of Frankel's mouthwatering recipes, including her deliciously updated version of spinach-artichoke dip. Namaste, SkinnyGirls. --A.T. Hurley
