At-home fitness doesn’t have to mean a leisurely walk on a treadmill or old-fashioned weights strewn across the floor. In 2021, it means a slick indoor bike sandwiched between your coffee table and kitchen, a shiny talking mirror stuck behind your door or a digital weight system attached to your wall.
TECH TALKS
What’s really making a difference? It’s the feedback loop between you and the person crunching, flexing, moving and spinning along with you. If you get on a Peloton bike, your instructor will call you out by name—“You got this Avanti, push on those pedals!”—and keep you from slacking. If you’re a Pilates fan, your Mirror trainer can, via a two-way video feed, tweak your form so that you’re maintaining a straight line from your ankles to shoulders as you plank. Have a bum ankle? They’ll give you no-jumping workout recommendations. Love lifting but don’t want to spend time in the always-sweaty weight room at the gym? Tonal employs an electromagnetic resistance engine powered by advanced math to generate resistance up to 90kg.
