ENGAGING EACH SIDE OF THE BODY SEPARATELY CAN HELP CORRECT MUSCLE IMBALANCES.

DO 4-PART BICEPS CURLS.

In her SoulCycle Arms: Get to Work class on Variis, Victoria Brown breaks down the standard single-arm biceps curl into four parts. “You’re isolating that muscle and squeezing,” says Brown. “Your core’s still engaged, don’t forget about it.”
  • Start with a full range of motion curl with your left arm for 20 seconds.
  • Just do the bottom half only, stopping at the midway point for 15 seconds.
  • Switch to the top half of the curl, going from the midway point to the top for 15 seconds.
  • Go back to the full curl for 20 seconds.
  • Repeat on the other arm.

HEART-HEALTHY CONDIMENT: COCONUT CHUTNEY

Store-bought condiments often contain far too much salt and sugar. Instead, create your own sauces like this slightly spicy Indian-inspired chutney, which features fragrant coconut, mint, and cilantro. Slather it over roasted fish, chicken, or tofu, or use as a dip for crudité.

BUILD MOMENTUM WITH FOCUS SHIFTS.

To keep up momentum in his health and fitness routines, Noah Lopez, a Tier 3+ trainer at Hudson Yards in New York City, switches up his priorities. “Sometimes I’m working harder at regeneration than I am at movement and sometimes I’m just focusing on having enough protein in my diet. I know I can’t have them all perfect at the same time but I stay focused on what’s important now and honor my progress along the way. For me it’s progress not perfection.”
