STRETCH TO DESTRESS.

Sho Higuchi’s PURE Yoga Break from Work 2 class on Equinox+ is designed to help you remove any residual tension that you may have left over from work. “We’re going to do a little bit of wrist stretching as we use our hands a lot, especially if you work at a computer,” Higuchi says. Try it by turning one hand back and turning your fingers to face your knees. See if you can get your whole palm on the ground. “If you need a little bit more, start to pull your hips back to increase the stretch in your wrist. The wrist is very delicate, so be gentle.”

SET SCARY GOALS.

Creating “really big, sometimes scary” goals is what helps Jennie Bunce, a Tier 3 trainer at Southport in Connecticut, keep up dedication and drive in her fitness and wellness routines. “I give myself a deadline and then I set smaller goals that build up to the big one,” she explains. For example, a big goal of hers is to do an Ironman by 2024, while her goal for 2021 is to run a sprint-distance triathlon. “Whenever I don't feel like doing something, whether it's fitness- or wellness-related, I think about my goal and ask myself ‘What would Jennie the Ironman do?’ or ‘What is going to get me that much closer to this goal?’"
