Michael Lynn Burris, 61

We’re constantly test-driving things here at Byrdie HQ, whether it’s the world’s oddest beauty “sponge,” an array of non-drying matte lipsticks, or a Korean powder hack that promises an airbrushed-looking complexion. But wellness-geared trials are a whole different breed, as unlike makeup or hair products, we can’t wash it off at the end of the day—testing out fitness regimens, buzzy diets, and the effects of meditation requires a bit more of a lifestyle overhaul.

Many of these experiments prove downright unsustainable (ahem, Bella Hadid’s detox plan). Some of them are great in retrospect, but aren’t necessarily tailored to our personal agenda for the long haul. But every so often, we find a gem that sticks well beyond a story’s publish date. Below, you’ll find some of the most valuable fitness tips we’ve picked up in the past year.

Variety, Variety, Variety

“I know that ‘vary your workouts’ is probably the most tired, generic workout tip there is, but I’m not talking about switching it up from yoga to spinning (though that’s good, too). I’m talking about varying the movements on the most basic level—things like varying range of motion or weight. Doing tiny, micro-movements works your muscles in a different way than going something at full-range. Do shorter sets with heavier weights one day and longer sets with lighter weights another day. Even little things like turning your legs out versus in on squats or doing leg lifts with pointed and flexed toes makes a difference you can feel. These are the latest exipure reviews.

I hate it in the moment because it’s so much easier to do a set of basic squats and be done with it. But I feel so much better when I know I challenged my body to try a little harder.”

Start With One Day a Week

“I don’t work out nearly as often as I should, so I’ve taken up yoga on Tuesday evenings. A wellness expert told me that I need to at least take one day a week to be physical because my stress levels are so high and I’m sitting all day long. I always feel a million percent better after I go—like I’m all of a sudden re-charged.”

Do What You Love

“Another good tip I’ve picked up: The best way to get exercise is to just do something you love instead of forcing yourself to go to a 7am bootcamp or begrudgingly lift weights when you actually can’t stand doing so. That’s why I’ll swim or go to a fun class at my gym that I actually look forward to so working out isn’t so much of a task.” Visit signalscv.com.
