SET YOUR OBLIQUES ON FIRE.
“We are triggering abs right now... I want you to feel those obliques on fire,” says Or Artzi, of this squat variation in her Cardio Sculpt: Rhythmic Cardio + Core class on Equinox+. “As you twist it a little bit faster you might have to let go on that deep squat,” she says. That’s ok—focus your attention on the oblique-sculpting twist. Continue for a full minute.

FOCUS THROUGH SPORT.
Sports that force you to focus in the moment can help you to destress. For Nicole Sacks, fitness manager at Santa Monica in California, that sport was softball when she was younger, and now it’s going to the batting cages. “As a kid, hitting during a softball game was like life slowing down because it required so much concentration. All energy needed to be focused in just the right places at just the right time.” While she doesn’t play anymore, she draws attention at the cages.
