Our favorite new home workout tools; We sorted through the latest exercise products that promise to work your entire body and found these two top picks

The Lebert Equalizer ($99; lebertequilzer.com) comes with two 8-pound, 29-inch-high metal hurdles, a DVD, and a poster of moves. You use the hurdles to work your arms, chest, back, and core, as well as to do cardio.

WHAT IT DELIVERS The bars are good for dips and pushups and to jump over for cardio, but they're awkward to lift for other sculpting exercises.

Workout 180 ($200; work out180.com) is a balance board with seven resistance bands, snap-on handles, foot attachments, and a square base. It also comes with a DVD. WHAT IT DELIVERS With 180 ideas for strength and stability exercises, you'll never get tired of this board. When you attach the flat base (as shown) it becomes stable so you can use it for bursts of cardio (for example, step-ups). --M.S.
