If shedding weight or building stamina is on your agenda – cardio equipment like a smart spin bike should be on your list. Such bikes have on-demand classes, wherein a trainer spins with you on different genres of music. Moreover you can access virtual videos and ride in different cities across the globe! Or you can also cycle listening to your own music. The best part is, and you can stream everything from anywhere at anytime. These bikes bring the power of a cycling studio to your home with an enhanced flywheel that gives you a smooth and silent ride. A padded seat, water bottle holder, pair of mounted transport wheels which make the movement of the studio cycle from room to room easier.
Strength training equipment
If you are focusing on building strength and flaunting your muscles then you need to get the right dumbbells, resistance bands, kettlebells, etc. as they are joint-friendly and promote natural motion as well. In the present times, various innovative products are present in the market that help replace multiple set of weights and come with selection dials enabling swift switching between weights. Offerings like adjustable dumbbells and kettlebells fall under this category and ensure that our workout sessions happen smoothly and comfortably by empowering us to change our resistance and switch from one exercise to other easily in a hassle-free manner.
Smart Weighting Scale
A tracker such as a smart weighting scale is essential to first understand what your body lacks and then to measure your progress by tracking parameters such as BMI, muscle mass, body fat rate, etc. Some scales also come with additional features such as baby weighing making weighing your infant easy, data comparison which helps you track your progress and circumference input which helps keep track on your body’s physical measurements.
Anti-slip yoga mat
Though it is called a yoga mat it offers diverse usages while working out for different purposes. For example, if you are doing bodyweight training, you could use this to build stability by giving your feet a good grip so that you don’t slip and can easily workout without any discomfort. It makes bodyweight exercises like stretching and core work comfortable and easily doable. These also prevent you from injuries. Most yoga mats are affordable, comfy and sturdy which make the workout session fruitful, without burning a hole in your pocket.
Mirror
Go for a big mirror that you can hang or place against your wall. Working out before the right mirror matters a lot, as it makes the space appear bigger and helps you keep a check on your form and posture. Working out without maintaining good form can lead to strains and injuries.
