Finding a reliable, enjoyable way to stay fit can be a bit overwhelming. Should you do CrossFit, Pilates, or pickleball? Is Zumba still a thing? Does running to catch the bus count as exercise?
But these are the wrong questions. To find an enduring strategy for healthy movement, there are really only two things you need to ask: What are my goals? And: What do I like to do?
Here on the Well desk, we have built our fitness coverage around these two simple questions, bringing in science-backed advice to help you find activities that will allow you to feel your best while pushing your body as far as is comfortable. On occasion, you might have a little fun, too.
Here is a sampling of our favorite workouts from the past year.
Put one foot in front of the other.
Walking versus running
We all know walking is good for us. But could a short run be even better? In many cases, experts say, yes. Building what scientists call “vigorous” exercise into your routine pays phenomenal dividends down the line.
Here are a few tips for turning a morning stroll into a jog — and a jog into a run.
The ease of rucking
Find a heavy thing. Put that heavy thing in a backpack. Now, carry the backpack.
It is truly hard to imagine a more basic exercise than rucking, a fitness trend that started in the military and has swept the nation over the last ten years. But don’t let its simplicity fool you; rucking is a highly effective way to build both cardiovascular health and strength. We’ve got strategies for getting started on your first ruck, whether you carry a specialized pack or wear an old JanSport with a couple dictionaries stuffed inside.
