Hands-Free Weights

This piece of information is sure to make all gym-haters squeak with happiness. First thing first, it is not for weight training in gym. You cannot replace dumbbells or resistance bands. Basically you wear them and go about your daily chores—making the bed, cleaning, cooking and walking your dog.

It is known to enhance the amount of calories you burn and also tone muscles as you do the day-to-day activities. You can wear it on your ankles, arms and calves. Consult an expert for the weight you should be carrying.  amazon.in/Ankle-Weights

Track your move

Wearable fitness has evolved from being a thing to show off to a necessity. FitBit Alta Fitness Wristband features make it a good option. It tracks your steps, distance, calories burned, active minutes, hourly activity and stationary time.

It also gives reminders to move, and automatically recognises and records exercises for you, without having to push buttons.

On its slim OLED display, it shows calls, texts and calendar alerts too. The battery lasts up to five days and tracks sleep hours and quality too.  Fitbit.com/in/alta

Your Second Skin

Nike’s Zonal Strength Tights feature compression zones that are built directly into the base fabric, targeting key muscle groups to reduce muscle vibration for an efficient workout, without restricting mobility. Its Flyvent waistband provides breathability and four-way stretch fabric enhances mobility.

Available for both men and women, it is a great companion for all training activities, be it low impact or high impact.

Swing It

Earlier this year, experts forecast the popularity of Kettlebell Swing. It negates negative effects of sitting hunchbacked for long hours in front of computers. Swinging a Kettlebell creates a dynamic internal pressure that helps alleviate lower back pain, even strengthening it after regular workout. Ensure you practice it first under a trainer.

Run With It

Reebok Floatride Run is a technically-advanced running shoe that provides an unprecedented level of comfort and performance.

Its Float Foam is 50 per cent lighter than regular EVA foams making it lightweight. The precisely-engineered foam has pressure set for a consistent cell structure that provides an optimal mix of softness and responsiveness. shop4reebok.com
