They look cute, but theyll add an extra layer of strength training to any workout that will definitely not go unnoticed.

She adds, Ive never been able to run before, because it has caused too much pain in my knees and shins, but this machine has allowed me to mimic a running motion, without impact. For the first time, Ive been able to join virtual classes that prepare you for races or endurance runs. Other times, Ive taken hikes or walks, slowing my pace but increasing my incline and resistance.

Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT TreadmillLikewise, this smart, lightweight, easy-to-operate treadmill will keep the whole familys winter quarantine blues at bay. The Horizon Treadmill features the ability to stream classes from Peloton and Zwift, can be speed-adjusted with the quick swipe of a wheel, and, best of all, is currently priced under $1,000.

We suspect any Work from Home Warrior would be tickled to receive a pair of their literally-wear-anywhere bottoms such as the Ponto Shorts or Performance Pant. In fact, youll probably want to stock up for yourself.

[Photo: courtesy Allbirds]AllBirds Tree Dashers Running ShoesAllBirds eco-savvy footwear is stylish, reliable, and surprisingly rugged. But the Tree Dashers raise the stakes: adding responsive design, antimicrobial materials, and rigorous athletic testing for a running shoe built to last. They pack the same beloved features as the originallightweight, machine-washable, and environmentally conscious materials, such as a midsole made from sugarcane-derived Sweetfoam. A Fast Company editor who tested them raved: It honestly felt like my whole foot was getting a massage when I wore them.

AfterShokz HeadphonesBone. Conduction. Headphones. Hear us out: AfterShokz headphones sit just outside of your ears and deliver sound via bone conduction technology, vibrating sound through your cheekbones to your inner ear. So your favorite runner can clearly hear both traffic signals and their tunes while on their daily jog.

Their signature B Mats are very grippy, come in covetable jewel tones, and feature just the right amount of cushion for your bodys needs. Pair with a set of B Yogas Cork Blocks and Resistance Bands and inner peace might be achieved this holiday seasonif only for an hour at a time.

AloMovesStreaming options for at-home fitness are aplenty, but AloMoves has become one of our consistent favorites. Created by style-savvy yoga-wear brand AloYoga, the subscription service features thousands of studio classesincluding yoga, HIIT, and barrebut also mindfulness training, with coach-led meditation sessions geared toward stress release, breath work, and sleep.

[Photo: courtesy Outdoor Voices]Outdoor Voices All Day SweatpantsAustin-bred Outdoor Voices much-loved, pillowy soft Cloudknit is extra dreamy in a slim jogger. The stretchy, breathable All Day Sweatpants are flattering and polished enough to wear around town, but so, so comfy that they might never leave the couch.

Outdoor Voices Exercise DressI have yet to find a femme-identifying athleisure lover who didnt end up obsessed with the Exercise Dress from Outdoor Voices. In stretchy, breathable, sweat-wicking fabric, with built-in bra and compression shorts, this flattering, throw-on dress looks great when working out, riding your bike, and taking your weekly rushed trip to the grocery store while making minimal contact. Theyre easily layered with sweaters and tights in the winter and look extra cute from barre to cocktails in the summer. Get them one or fourbecause that will happen eventually.
