For most, 2021 couldn’t come soon enough.

But as always, with a new year upon us comes new year resolutions. And for many of us who suffered from the #quarantine15, fitness is at the top of the list this year. 

With many former fitness class-goers turning to on-demand workouts to keep up their routine, it can be difficult to stay motivated — especially if you’re doing the same thing day-after-day. So why not treat yourself by remixing your fitness products?

Whether you’re looking to up your at-home workout game, or simply looking for products to add to your home gym, here are a few products to help with your 2021 goals.

01
Vertiball Standalone Back Massager
For those with back pain, the Vertiball can be mounted to nearly any vertical surface at the perfect height, so it doesn’t matter where the pain is located. Users can adjust the amount of pressure they want and target problem areas with pinpoint accuracy.

PowerDot 2.0 with Smart Recovery AI is one of the top choices for portable electrical muscle stimulation (e-stim) devices. It offers a hands-free massage mode to decrease soreness, stiffness, and everyday aches. Set the pads where you have pain, select the massage mode off the PowerDot app, and it handles the rest.

Bear Blocks
Bear Blocks provides a wrist saving solution to doing common workouts on your hands and arms. Doing a traditional push up compresses the wrist bones and strains the ligaments because of the acute angle the position requires. With this workout device, you can help the hand angle downward by 20 degrees which places the wrist in a more comfortable position.

Liteboxer
Who said you can’t be the next Layla Ali in the making? Liteboxer is an at-home boxing experience led by top trainers. The freestanding device syncs punch combos to Universal-licensed music and measures precision and impact of punches.
