As a certified personal trainer at Equinox, Andrea Somer knows what a good workout looks like. Her favorite type of exercise? “I love my lower body workouts,” she tells Lively. “Some of my favorite exercises are hip thrusts, deadlifts and squats in different variations.” On top of that, Somer is a fan of anything that gets her heart rate up – and yes, that includes high-intensity workouts. “Also trying new things that really challenges me is the best feeling,” she adds.
