Episode 31: Five Rules I Break for Fitness

Who says you have to follow the rules to get fit? Hilary Silver unapologetically shreds the fitness handbook and proves you don’t need rigid routines to look amazing at 52. Forget arm day, endless cardio, and those boring sit-ups! In this episode, Hilary shares the five fitness rules she proudly ignores (plus the one rule that she never breaks).

Episode Highlights:

Break the rules! Fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Hilary’s approach to fitness is proof you can break the rules and still get good results. Start trusting yourself to do what works for you.

Cardio? Only if she feels like it. Hilary skips the treadmill grind and only walks or runs when it feels good. Fun fact? Many of Hilary’s podcast episode topics come to her on these walks and runs when she’s moving her body!

Scheduled workouts? Hard pass! Forget those “arm days” and “leg days.” Hilary calls the shots when she hits the gym. She makes sure that she chooses moves that feel right for her body that day.

For abs that turn heads, Hilary swears by twisting core-focused movements that sculpt without the six-pack bulk.

Heavy weights? Only sometimes. Lifting heavy isn’t a lifestyle for Hilary. She balances strength training with light weights and Tracy Anderson-inspired routines for a toned, feminine look.

Rest days are overrated. Moving every day doesn’t mean burnout; it means listening to your body and switching it up to keep things interesting. Learn how daily movement—on your terms—can keep your mind sharp, your body strong, and your soul happy.
