If you’ve got zero motivation to go to the gym, you’re not alone – more than one in 10 people say they haven’t stepped inside their gym for an entire year. And it’s no wonder, given that we busy Brits claim to be too tired or overworked to keep fit. But there is another shape-up method that could fit seamlessly into your schedule and get you just as fit – home workouts. No longer a second-rate option – forget fitness DVDs and bodyweight circuits – home exercise is becoming luxurious, thanks to a growing breed of subscription apps and expensive kit. The latest must-have gadget? Connected (or smart) machines, which use smart technology to connect with apps that stream live or on-demand content. If you’re looking for convenience, these machines will bring you all the benefits of a hard workout without any of the hassle.
