There are options for you to flatten your tummy while watching tv and even ways to keep your cardio going while sitting on a conference call at work. Click through the link to buy the product that will help you stay on track to reach your new goal for the new year and you may even find a few more options to help you keep your fitness resolutions going strong.
Therapy Flat Resistance Bands Set
These flat loop resistance bands are perfect for work and while watching tv. With three separate resistances you can loop them around your thighs, calves or knees to get a simple, discreet yet effective leg and cardio workout while on a video conference call at work or just to keep burning calories while you’re watching TV. The best part is this set comes with a booklet full of ideas to give you a full body workout that can be done from almost anywhere regardless of space or size (including on an airplane…don’t ask).
Core Sliders
These disks might not look like much, but they can be placed under your hands, knees or toes for some serious core workouts. You can work and tone your abs, strengthen your entire core and have as much or as little intensity as you crave. The best part is you don’t need any giant equipment to use it. Just enough space for the specific movement you’re performing. That’s why core sliders are going to be some of the most popular new year’s resolution fitness products sold this year.
Ankle Weights
Lets face it, we all commit to things on the 1st and forget them by brunch, that’s why ankle weights may be a solution. Don’t let the term weights scare you. By simply wearing these under your pants or a long dress, you’ll be adding some extra calorie burn throughout the day by walking to work or around the house, nothing extra needed! It’s as simple as that. It’s the solution for the person who has no time and also puts off working out because they need some “me time”. Now you can have that me time because you already got your workout in, just by doing what you do on a daily basis.
Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set
Not every new year’s fitness resolution is about getting in shape. Sometimes it’s just being healthier which includes relaxing and creating a better you. That’s where acupressure mats and pillows shine. Simply lay down, play some calming sounds and drift away while you let this mat and pillow set help you destress and come back to calm. Click through the image and you’ll find options in multiple colors from pink to blue and yellow to black.
Neoprene Dumbbells
You’ve seen them before, maybe now is the time to buy a couple pairs of dumbbells. No, you don’t have to sit in front of a mirror doing curls, that’s just what we think about because we see it in TV shows and exercise guides. Dumbbells are seriously versatile.
You can take a lighter weight one and place it in your purse, briefcase or backpack to add some extra weight so that the regular walking you’re doing is going up a notch. Forget those annoying curls from TV. Instead, why not do them while watching tv from your couch. You can do those same curls sitting down while being entertained and then lay down to do chest presses and even work your triceps without ever having to stand or stare at a mirror. That’s the beauty of breaking the mold. These can be used anywhere and even while simply watching your favorite show on Netflix or Hulu.
