HOW TO MOVE Do it in threes Any workout has three variables: weights, intensity, and volume, Hood says. To keep your body guessing, focus on one variable per workout: Increase the weight but lower the number of reps one day; lower your standard weight but add a set the next; use your standard weight but do more reps faster on another. Dont give up on the pullup Pullups, which strengthen the lats, biceps, middle back, and shoulders, are an effective upper-body exercise. Cant squeeze one out? Hood suggests doing plank pulls: Lie with your chest under a weight bar set to knee height on a squatting rack. Grab the bar with an overhand grip and, keeping your body in one line, bend your elbows and pull your chest toward the bar. Lower back to start; do 10 reps. Jen Hamilton
