Become a better man by acting more like a lady—in your workout, that is. Your weight routine serves a certain purpose, but your pursuit of sleeve-busting muscles might come at the cost of other activities that can improve your fitness. “In many gyms around the country, Monday is still National Bench Day, followed by back and bis and then legs and tris,” says David Jack, director of Teamworks Fitness in Acton, MA. “When we’re in those routines, we rarely perform exercises that use other planes of movement in the body. Women are generally more open to trying new exercises and moving in different ways.”

Instead of getting stuck in an exercise Groundhog Day, steal a number from the ladies’ book and adopt the following five fitness habits. You’ll get stronger, recover quicker, and tap into the total-body conditioning you need to unleash a more athletic body—and get noticed by the fairer sex.
