There’s a simple solution for the winter blues, and his name is Isaac Boots. The former Broadway dancer is a one-man fitness phenom with more energy than a double shot of espresso. When he’s not whipping Jessica Chastain, Kelly Ripa, Lisa Rinna, and Faye Dunaway into shape, he hosts Torch’d by Isaac, a high-energy mat workout on Instagram (@torchdbyisaac), where he tempers the torture with a good dose of sass. “Arms straighter!” he commands. “Just like my mother wanted me!” Behind the cheekiness is some serious heart. Since launching Torch’d, during the pandemic, Isaac has single-handedly raised more than $2 million for No Kid Hungry, a cause with special meaning for someone who grew up on food stamps. Here, he shares the beauty and wellness essentials that keep him jumping and jacking.
