Winter 2021

FROM CARDIO AND CORE TO RESISTANCE TRAINING AND RECOVERY, WE’VE ROUNDED UP THE BEST AT-HOME WORKOUT GEAR FOR 2021.

- JILL SCHILDHOUSE

Well equipped

Relying on a gym to get your sweat on is sooo 2019, and if the last year has taught us anything, it’s that we can literally do everything at home — work, work out, have meetings and teach our kids (well, not really). All you need is the right gear.

These home-based equipment options are some of our faves for 2021. Stock up and you’ll be the homebody with a hot body!

Cardio Machines

1 | HYDROW ROWING MACHINE

This rower uses patented drag-mechanism technology, making every stroke you take feel as if you’re pulling your oars through the water. A 22- inch touch screen with front-facing speakers allows you to participate in live workouts or ondemand sessions at full volume.

$2,455 ($38/month subscription)

2 | NORDICTRACK COMMERCIAL 1750 TREADMILL

Treadmills are still the best way to get in your 10,000 steps or your 5-mile run without having to brave the elements. This model offers interactive workouts with live incline and speed control — in other words, the instructor can control your treadmill in real time. It also features low-impact cushioning to protect your joints as well as reduce vibration.

THE POWER CLEAN (Discover this dirty little secret for better functional fitness.)

OLYMPIC LIFTS ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH and athletic performance — and as a side bonus, they also help develop crazy-good muscle shape, size, and definition. In fact, one could argue that the power-clean portion of the clean-and-jerk is the best exercise ever devised. “The clean is a functional movement used [routinely] in everyday activities,” says Aaron Viscounte, CSCS, head coach and manager at Summer’s Fitness Inc. in North Canton, Ohio. “We use aspects of the clean to pick up a box and put it on a shelf, move furniture or even go grocery shopping.” During a power clean, the barbell travels from the floor to the “racked” position at shoulder level and back down again. We tapped some elite trainers for their step-by-step expert advice on making the most of every rep.
