With the holiday feasts wrapping up, it’s time to talk about how the right fitness equipment and accessories can help you stay on track with your New Year’s fitness resolution. Fitness equipment can be anything from large cardio or strength training machines, smaller accessories like dumbbells or wearable tech such as fitness trackers or smart scales, and even nutritional supplements and bars.
Cardio and strength training to stay on track
Owning your own treadmill is a great way to ensure you’re putting your heart health as a priority. It’s a great low impact way to get your body moving, especially if you’re feeling a little sluggish after large holiday meals you may have indulged in. I love that treadmills are so versatile and for all fitness levels. You can walk at a slow pace, speed walk, jog or sprint and if you purchase one with an incline function you have many more options to choose from. Many treadmills have a heart monitor function built in which will allow you to monitor your heart rate as you’re exercising, but you can also buy yourself a fitness tracker which will monitor your heart rate as well as offer many other functions to keep your fitness goals on point.
If you’re starting a new fitness regimen or just stepping up your current one, your body may be in for a little shock and this can lead to sore or strained muscles. Compression garments like socks or sleeves for your arms and legs can really help with your body’s recovery process.
Nutrition and supplements
Proper nutrition and supplements go hand in hand with exercise in your overall health and well being. Fueling your body before and during exercising, as well as recovery after, is a must to help you reach your fitness goals. For a convenient snack or a quick lunch that will fill your tummy and help ward off any extra snacking, protein bars like this MusclePharm Combat Crunch Protein Bars do the job perfectly. Another fantastic option is a protein powder like this MusclePharm Combat Protein Powder. It offers a variety of protein blends that will feed your body for up to 8 hours and is easy to mix which makes it optimal for taking on the go.
If you’re at home, you can use a blender like this Ninja Nutri Ninja DUO Auto iQ 1300W Stand Blender with Nutri Ninja Cups to whip up some delicious and creative protein shakes or smoothies packed with added fruits and veggies. The Ninja Cups are great for taking on the go and especially awesome to blend up a breakfast smoothie for the ride to work or school drop off.
Smart Scales to help you keep on track
Scales have come a long way over the years and there’s some great smart scales on the market today like this Nokia Body+ Wi-Fi Smart Scale & Body Analyzer. It syncs with your smart phone and you can monitor your weight, body fat, water percentage, and more anytime you like. With a smart scale you can make sure you’re getting enough water each day and keep track of your calories. It can also manage up to 8 users so the whole house can benefit from it.
If you’re planning on ringing in the New Year with some new fitness and health goals it would be really motivating to have the right fitness equipment and accessories to help keep you on track.
