WORKOUT: JUSTIN STEELE

Wellbeing / Eat, Drink, Repeat


Boutique fitness classes
like SoulCycle and Pure
Barre can run upwards
of $35 a pop, a price
many women are willing
to pay for the expertise
of the instructors and the
community of exercisers.
But if you want a little of
that vibe at home, here’s
how I, Glamour’s health
editor, re-create my
favorite studio sessions.
When I crave a
treadmill class: I love
Mile High Run Club, a
treadmill studio in New
York City, but when
I can’t get there, Skyfit
(from $10 a month,
App Store) is my savior.
You can download
classes for treadmills,
stationary bikes, and
ellipticals—no more
hopping on a machine

with no idea what to do.
The instructor-created
playlists match the
music with the intensity,
and the time flies.

When I need (virtual)
people for motivation:
The Peloton app
($13 a month, App Store)
lets me live-stream
360-degree videos of
indoor cycling classes
at Pelo ton’s NYC studio
from my bike at the
gym. Nothing gets my
legs moving like a
shout-out—by name!—
from the instructor.

When I could use some
one-on-one attention:
I’m addicted to the
revamped Nike+ training
and running apps (free,
App Store); they cover
everything. The algorithm

customized an eight-
week plan for me that
includes running and
strength training, and it
adjusts my upcoming
workouts if I unexpectedly
crush a day, miss a
session, or deviate from
the plan by heading to
yoga. And the form cues
are so helpful—it’s as if the
app is looking right at my
wobbly single-leg squats.
When I want to hit the
barre: I turn to Barre3 or
Physique 57. Barre3.com
($15 a month) uploads
new videos each week,
and phy sique57 .com ($30
for three months) saves
mash-ups of multiple mini
classes to create one
master session that
works me head to toe. My
kitchen chair makes a
surprisingly good barre!

How to re-create the coolest classes—right in your
living room. By Sara Gaynes Levy

TRAINING DAY

She only looks like
she paid a lot for
her sessions.
Put tops back on, place pumpkins on
a rimmed baking sheet with a little
water, and bake until tender, about 30
minutes. Let cool.


  1. Me a nwh i le , c o ok ba c on, i f u si ng , i n
    a large pan over medium-high heat
    until crisp; remove and set aside on
    paper towels to drain. Pour off all but
    2 tablespoons bacon grease (or add 2
    tablespoons olive oil to pan if not
    using bacon).

  2. Add onion and sauté on medium heat
    until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in
    broth, canned pumpkin, coconut milk,
    rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder.
    Simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes.
    Season soup with salt and pepper and
    ladle into roasted pumpkins, crum-
    bling bacon on top. Replace pumpkin
    tops and serve. Makes 4 servings.


IF YOU LOVE CRANBERRIES, TRY:

Roasted Cranberry
Hummus
“Cranberries are super high in anti-
oxidants and vitamins C and E, which
fight off infections and make your skin
and hair glowy,” says Haas. But how to
eat them other than as a sugary turkey
side? Preciado goes for a subtly sweet
hummus. It’s healthier than cran-
berry jelly, trust—and it’s amazing on
a leftover-turkey sandwich.
1 bag (12 oz.) fresh cranberries
1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, drained and
rinsed
3 tbsp. tahini
1–2 tbsp. fresh orange juice
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. water or more if needed
Salt to taste
1 tsp. zested orange peel (optional)


  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Pour cranber-
    ries onto a rimmed baking sheet lined
    with parchment paper and roast until
    s of t e ne d , 1 5 t o 18 m i nut e s. L e t c o ol.

  2. Combine chickpeas, tahini, orange
    juice, olive oil, and cinnamon in a food
    processor and puree until smooth. Add
    all but 2 tbsp. cranberries and puree
    again. With the motor running, stream
    i n w a t e r, a d d i n g m o r e i f n e c e s s a r y, u n t i l
    hummus reaches desired consistency.
    Season with salt. Garnish with reserved
    cranberries and orange peel, if using,
    and serve. Makes 8 servings.
