Wellness Leaders Are Obsessing Over These Workouts. Here’s What You Need To Know

But here’s the thing: Just because you enjoy healthy food, tend to get enough sleep, and have a solid meditation practice doesn’t mean you’re inspired by the same workouts that your friend is. Which is why we asked three important leaders in the wellness world—Alicia Archer, Sophie Jaffe, and Jordan Younger—what workout they’re most inspired by. We caught up with them at the Kohl’s workout at mbg’s revitalize event: Here’s what they had to say.

For Alicia Archer, who spends a few hours of her day stretching, circus arts are particularly inspiring. "I love training my contortion and hand balancing, because it encompasses strength and flexibility," she says. "Even with the extreme flexibility, there's a huge amount of control involved. Improving my body's control and articulation is important to me, and building stronger shapes feels incredibly satisfying."

Last but not least, Alicia makes sure to stay hydrated. "Staying hydrated is key, and having a durable bottle that can be refilled throughout the day takes care of that necessity."

As a mother of two, it isn’t exactly easy for Sophie Jaffe, founder of Philosophie, to fit in a workout—which is why she loves jumping rope so much. "My hubby and I have been using a jump rope to squeeze in a workout whenever we have some spare time in between the busyness of our day-to-day lives," she says.

As for the jump rope, Sophie says it doesn’t get much easier than tossing one of those into her bag so she has it on hand whenever she has a spare moment. Preparation is half the battle!

Formerly a huge fan of high-intensity cardio, Jordan Younger started slowing her workouts down and immersing herself in the world of yoga when she found that it was exactly what her body was craving. "These days, my favorite workout is a sweaty vinyasa yoga class because it gets my heart pumping and also gets me deeper into my body and my heart center," she says.

And as a lover of yoga, there’s almost nothing Jordan loves more than her mat. "This Gaiam mat is one of my faves because I love the print on it, and it's perfect for practicing at home or keeping in my car when I want to pop into a studio."

Decked out in head-to-toe activewear from Kohl’s, each woman felt (and looked!) her best. The guests even sweated their way through the class on Gaiam mats from Kohl’s, proving that the brand’s massive selection of active and wellness gear truly helps you live your healthiest life and reach your fitness and wellness goals.
