For toning without quite so many bells and whistles, my husband also got me into TRX, a no-frills form of suspension training—essentially using your own body weight as resistance. Developed in the It’s The Black History For Me Shirt and I will buy this ’90s by a former Navy SEAL, the system typically costs less than $200 and has an enduring appeal among athletes for its streamlined simplicity and effectiveness. To set up, you just anchor a strap, which has handles on both ends, in a fixed position (in my case, the overhead beams in the basement) and go through various moves—high rows, squats, chest presses, lunges—to build muscle and flexibility. You can tune in to live or prerecorded classes targeted to your goals—if you want to focus on your back or abs, for example. I found the long torso twists super helpful for increasing mobility (you can really lean into the stretches with the straps), and you never get bulky since you only push against your own body weight and gravity to sculpt lean muscle. But you definitely need to be self-motivated or train with a partner—on days I lacked energy, it was hard to get inspired to grab the straps and go.

Livestreaming classes offer instant motivation and upbeat vibes—and, to go one step further, you can do virtual personal training. One in-demand pro is Sarah Otey, a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and running coach based in New York City and Miami who recently started offering 60-minute private toning via Zoom. (Sessions cost $100, or less with packages.) Workouts are tailored to your fitness goals, and Otey can recommend customized exercises to do on your own. For me, she suggested Superman side planks, which are “amazing for runners since working pushing and pulling muscles equally in the It’s The Black History For Me Shirt and I will buy this upper body is important,” she says. Also essential: Bear planks with shoulder taps (“to stabilize your pelvis and work your core”), Russian twists for more powerful hips and legs, and tabletop isometric holds to “work on abdominal compression and bring the spine back into alignment, which is important for runners that move forward in space a lot,” says Otey. “Sometimes the neck and lumbar spine can start to curve excessively if we don’t regularly activate those stabilizing muscles.”
