Tender lamb simmered in a rich broth with roasted red peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes, then finished with briny black olives and creamy feta, for a Mediterranean-inspired stew.
Six beauties, “Isabel, Jackie, Karen, Linda, Mary, and Nancy.”
First appearing in November 2004 in The New Girls article and the workout for November 11th, Isabel is fast, high power output, and one of few benchmark workouts with only one exercise.
Pick a weight that lets you complete several reps quickly. The workout should take less than 10 minutes—more like 5. If you've ever finished this in the 2-minute range, add weight today, but just a little.

Preparation
Melt butter (1 Tbsp) in a pot over medium-high heat. Add cubed lamb (6 oz) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables by adding the remaining butter (1 Tbsp) to the same pot. Stir in red onion (¼ cup), garlic (1 clove), and zucchini (½ cup).
Add broth (½ cup), diced tomatoes (⅓ cup), roasted red peppers (¼ cup), and bay leaf (1). Stir to combine, then return the seared lamb to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in black olives (2 Tbsp) and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese (2 Tbsp) over the stew. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the feta slightly melts. Enjoy.
These benchmark workouts serve to measure and compare your performance and improvements through repeated, irregular appearances as the daily workout.
After the introduction of the 8 quintessential Girls — Angie, Barbara, Chelsea, Diane, Elizabeth, Fran, Grace and Helen — this next batch of benchmarks cemented themselves into fitness lore.
