If you could pick one, and only one, exercise to include in a routine for no purpose other than vanity, what would I be?

I don't mean an exercise that serves other functional purposes that also happen to make you look good (e.g. glute exercises, ab exercises), but something that, really wouldn't much of a difference in your health or daily function, except that you'd look better.

Something you would tack-on to the end of a routine as a finisher.

What would that 1 exercise be?
 
Table push backs ?

Probably upper back, something for the rear delts and traps that improves posture because nobody looks good slumped over and fills out shirts. Band pull aparts would work the triceps a little too to snug up a t-shirt.

Second thought would probably be triceps extensions of some sort.
 
Hello,

My vanity exercise would be patience for...buying clothes. I am patient for just about everything, but clothes...this is long, and I do not like it. It would change my "all-black" clothes then

Kind regards,

Pet'
 
I pulled a calf more than once while on S&S. Calf work can be non-vanity.
I pick tricep pushdown!
 
I can't believe nobody has said curls yet...

Happy baby pose. It makes you smile .. and sometimes others smile when they see an adult doing it!
 
I'm struggling to think of an exercise I do that doesn't have some element of 'vanity' to it: One of the main things that drew me to oly-lifting was how cool it looks.

I don't think I do any exercises at all purely for aesthetic reasons, but a female bodybuilder I used to know taught me how to engage my glutes to make my butt 'lift up' and I practise that fairly regularly.

Inverted hangs from a pullup bar, with my head dunked in a bucket of Rogaine. That thin spot up there ain't getting any thicker...

I feel your pain; my 'thin spot' now covers the entire top of my head. Fortunately I've learned to wear my shiny dome with pride.
