Christmas
is just around the corner and you want to do something good for your fitness
this Christmas? Find out about the latest and most useful fitness gifts
here:
Fitness tracker
Modern
high-tech fitness trackers have already taken their place in the fitness world,
but we often forget about the simplest and most useful type of fitness
measuring device: the pedometer. The pedometer is probably the simplest
and most useful - and, if used correctly, the most motivating device for
tracking movement. Research suggests that people used to walk an average
of 8 kilometers a day. This simple movement was an important contribution
to a faster metabolism, better blood circulation, greater mobility and stronger
bones and muscles. For an average adult, 8 km corresponds to approx.
10,000 steps (which, by the way, is also the preset goal for many fitness
trackers).
If you want a simple tracker with one year of battery life, we
recommend Garmin Vivofit 3 or for a tracker with a minimal design the
Misfit Shine 2,
Wireless headphones
Listening
to music while exercising can be extremely motivating. Unfortunately, the
headphone cables are sometimes in the way and limit fast, highly intensive and
functional exercises or endanger safety. In addition, over-ear headphones
can slip, fall off and be uncomfortable for long workouts. Wireless
headphones are perfect for training. These in-ear headphones connect to
your smartphone and guarantee that your training runs smoothly.
That's why there are the Jaybird X2 / X3 wireless
headphones - sweatproof, adaptable headphones with great sound quality.
Slacklining
"Slacklining"
is a cool sport that is becoming more and more popular. According to
Wikipedia, slacklining is "a trend sport similar to tightrope walking,
where you balance on a hose or belt that is stretched between two attachment
points."
Slacklining
has many advantages: It improves balance, stability and posture, promotes
concentration and challenges your muscles.
How about the Gibbon Slackline Sets , which are stretched
on two attachment points. Or the Gibbon Slackrack Frame, a version
for indoor mounting.
Self massage tools
Do you want to get the most out of your workout? Long,
frequent, and intense workouts should be balanced out with effective
recovery. Stretching and flexibility exercises are very good for this, but
it can still happen that muscles become chronically tense and movements are
restricted due to trigger points. A trigger point is a fine area in a
muscle that causes pain when irritated. Fortunately, with regular
self-massage, trigger points can be deactivated, and often this can quickly
restore the ability to move. Find out more on the Trigger Point Therapy
Foundation Collection page, . There are four tools and a self-help
guide on how best to start with a self-massage.
Kettlebells
Last
but not least: the kettlebell. Of all the many free weights, the
kettlebell is probably the most versatile. Strength, endurance, speed,
power, flexibility - no matter what your goal is, the kettlebell will support
you.
In
addition, two kettlebells (pair of kettlebells) do not take up much space and
are very easy to transport. By training with the kettlebell you can
strengthen your wrist and ensure improved joint stability. Both of these
benefits have a positive effect on weight lifting in other types of exercise.
For example, there's
the Rogue Kettlebell, . It has a good grip, a balanced feel, great
optics and all at an affordable price.
