When the first shut down happened earlier this year, I was really worried about losing my fitness progress. I was going to the gym anywhere from 5 to 7 times a week, doing a mix of personal training sessions and using the machines on my own. Even though gyms reopened, I haven't felt comfortable going back and I know I am not alone.

Due to the pandemic, it was nearly impossible to find appropriately-priced dumbbells anywhere online for months (At one point, I saw a single 10-pound dumbbell going for $65 on Amazon). I soon realized that the best quality investment was to buy an actual at-home fitness a machine ahem, I mean studio.

All of the fancy fitness machines on this list are more than just a tool to use. Each brand offers its own take on advancing your fitness journey with cool classes, advanced exercise technology, or both. If you were previously paying top dollar for a gym membership or personal trainer (I was spending $200/month), most of these products are less than the annual cost of a freal gym. And they are right inside of your house, no driving required.

These at-home fitness products can work as a gift to a loved one, or just a gift to yourself for getting through this year.

Tempo Studio - tempo.fit

Tempo is the brand I'd recommend most to anyone who was working with a personal trainer in a gym. The home studio has a 42" HD screen where you'll follow an instructor for each class. Tempo offers classes between five to 60 minutes. Unlike doing a YouTube fitness video, Tempo monitors your movements t0 make adjustments and recommendations. If you're bending too far over while doing squats, the machine will correct you. If you're moving too fast during a workout, it'll recommend adjusting your weights to a heavier setting for a future workout.

The Tempo Studio comes with:

You can either pay in full for the machine, or you can opt to pay $55/month with 0% APR for 36 months. A Tempo Studio membership is $39/month.

The MYX Plus - myxfitness.com

The MYX is a budget-friendly competitor of the Peloton. If you want to know more about the differences, you can read my review after ride a MYX bike for 3 weeks straight. This bike is great for people interested in getting a studio cycling bike, but also want classes. MYX Fitness drops new classes weekly, include bike classes, floor classes, a hybrid of the two, plus mindful classes for digestion and pain.

The MYX Plus bike includes:

To access those wonderful classes, it is $29/month for a MYX Fitness membership. When you order today, your bike can possibly arrive before Christmas. Depending on where you live, this will take three to five weeks for delivery.

The Mirror - Lululemon

The Mirror is a Lululemon product that brings a virtual coach right into your home. You can take fitness classes in your living room, following the skilled Mirror trainers. Because it's literally a mirror, you'll watch yourself as you workout. It can be leaned against any blank space you have in your home, whether you're in a tiny apartment or have converted your office into a workout room. And when you're done, it turns back into a mirror.

You can take classes ranging between five to 60 minutes, in 50+ different genres. You can choose from live weekly classes or on-demand classes, depending on your comfort level.

You'll be able to track your heart rate and progress during every workout, and you'll get a recap of the highlights to see where you excelled. This tracked progress is part of Mirror's algorithm, which sets you up to compete with yourself by rewarding you with points when you beat previous records.

You can try out the Mirror for 30 days and if you don't love it, you can return it risk-free. They'll also let you finance the mirror for $42/month for 36 months. The membership subscription cost is $39/month to access all of Mirror's classes.

T 9.5 S - NordicTrack

Let's get back to the basics here. You cannot go wrong with having a treadmill in your house. It is much easier than going outside and running, especially when there is inclement weather. If you want a treadmill that will really push you, a NordicTrack is the way to go. The brand is the best in the game when it comes to incline and decline (on select models).

This treadmill has a 14" HD touchscreen, that ou can either ignore or use to take iFit treadmill classes. If you really like to get personal with a trainer, you can even opt to take one of their live classes where the trainer controls your machine, thus forcing you to actually raise the incline on your treadmill, instead of pretending you did.

Of all the fitness tools on this list, this NordicTrack is possibly the best bang for your buck. Many NordicTrack machines come with a free 1-year iFit membership ($468 value). And most machines can be used without a membership, so ideally, if you don't ever want to pay for a membership, you don't have to.

Due to high demand, this will not ship until December 23rd. But that is right in time for those New Year's resolutions!

Row-s - Echelon

If you're looking for a low-impact cardio machine, a rower is right for you. This rower model is equipped with a 22" monitor you can use to take classes or just enjoy a nice, scenic row.

This rower is estimated to ship on or around 12/11. You can also finance this rower for $42/month, with $0 down. Echelon's FitPass offers a free 30-day trial and varies in price between $19.99 and $39.

If you want a cheaper option, the Smart Rower is $600 less but does not come with a built-in tablet. If you have a tablet already, you don't honestly need one and can opt for this instead.

Carbon EX - proform.com

Similar to a rower, an elliptical offers a low-impact workout, but with a heavier cardio punch. When working between resistances, you will drip in sweat whether you're flying fast on a low resistance of dreading through mud on a high resistance.

This ProForm elliptical offers an iFit membership with interactive training sessions where your trainer can control your resistance during your ride. You can also stream global and studio classes, so you'll have plenty of variety to keep you from getting bored.

While this is one of the least expensive machines on the list, you can still opt to finance this for $56/month for 18 months. You can get a month free of an iFit membership, then it starts at $15/month.

TreadClimber TC200 - BowFlex

A treadclimber is like an elliptical and a treadmill had a baby. But this baby is anything but soft. Even on the lowest setting, this machine will still kick your butt. At a moderate pace, you can burn over 200 calories in just 10 minutes. This isn't a machine that you need to sprint on, BowFlex literally markets it as a way to "walk your way to a more fit body, a calmer mind and a reenergized spirit." I don't know about your spirit, but you'll definitely be on a great fitness journey with this machine.

You can finance this for $112/month for 18 months. There's no membership required for this product, so you'll just be paying for the machine.

Cone Health and the city of Mebane make it easy and fun for residents and their families to exercise. The Cone Health Community Fitness Court is now open in Mebane Community Park.

The Cone Health Community Fitness Court is an open-air wellness center that allows people to use their body weight to get a complete workout. Created with adults of all ages in mind, the Fitness Court is adaptable to all fitness levels. Users can download the free Fitness Court App, Fitness Court. The coach-in-your-pocket style platform transforms the outdoor gym into a digitally supported ecosystem. The app guides workouts or allows fitness buffs to compare their performance with others. Fitness Court is available for iOS and Android.

With all of the challenges around us today, many have found exercise to be more important than ever, says Deno Adkins, vice president, ambulatory network. With this outdoor facility, Cone Health is right there with the Mebane community for every set of every workout. Cone Health is the exclusive health care sponsor of the facility.

This year, the city of Mebane and dozens of other recipients from around the country were awarded a $30,000 grant from NFC to help support the program. In addition to grant funding, a city match and $35,000 from Cone Health helped make the project possible.

To be Positively Charming, (the city motto) a community has to encourage healthy living, says David Cheek, city manager, Mebane. With Cone Health and our other sponsors' generous support, Mebane's new fitness court provides another option for our citizens to get fit!

NFC developed the trademarked seven-station system in 2012 hoping to inspire municipalities to transform public spaces into community fitness hubs. There are currently 100 Fitness Court locations across the country, and the campaign will reach 250 cities and schools by the end of 2020.

LINCOLN, R.I. (WPRI) Two gyms in Rhode Island had members coming and going on Wednesday, despite an order from the state to close for safety reasons.

The Maxx Fitness Clubzz in Lincoln and Warren say they plan to stay open and safe during Gov. Gina Raimondos two-week pause for as long as they can.

The pause, which started on Monday, required gyms and other fitness centers to temporarily close.

On Tuesday, an inspector from the state COVID-19 Enforcement Task Force visited both gyms and issued them $500 citations for not following the rules.

Both locations also received immediate compliance orders to shut down.

It is hereby ordered, that Respondent is to immediately close all indoor operations until suchtime as the requirement set forth in Executive Order 20-100, and any successor Executive Order thereto, that gyms and fitness centers cease indoor operations is lifted, the order reads.

Maxx Fitness owner Matthew DAmico said if the gyms shut down again, they may not be able to reopen.

This is an arbitrary decision that will put a lot of people out of business, DAmico said. There is no data and science that COVID spreads in gyms.

DAmico said he spent thousands to get up to code with the states guidance, and they havent had an outbreak among members or staff.

According to the R.I. Department of Health, the temporary restrictions and closures are necessary in order to reduce transmission rates.

The restrictions are really focused on what are considered higher-risk settings, in those places like gyms, for example, RIDOH spokesperson Joseph Wendelken said.

For most of the coronavirus pandemic, the weather has been warm enough for people to exercise outdoors, running or riding bikes in a way that keeps them safelydistanced from others.

Now, as the cold weather leads people to shift toward indoor exerciseoptions, apartment buildings are preparing for greater usage of their fitness center amenities.

Apartment managers have taken a host of safety precautionsto maketheir indoor fitness centers safe forresidents, and they say they are seeing strong demand for the spaces as the weather turns cold. In some cases, the number of people seeking to use fitness centers exceeds their allowable capacity under pandemic restrictions, and building ownershave turned to reservation systems to schedule workouts.

"We've put some rules in place to make sure 50 people don't end up in the fitness center at one time," Akridge Chairman Chip Akridge said of the developer's new RiverPoint building. "We're limiting the number of people to about five at a time, and two at a time in the yoga room, and then they need to move on out and let somebody else come in."

For residents that don't feel comfortable sharing a workout space with others during the pandemic, buildings have ramped up their virtual offerings that give residents the ability to take classes from their apartments. And many renters are investing in their own equipment to use in their units, even when there's a fitness center downstairs.

"You're seeing more treadmills get delivered, bikes getting delivered, Pelotons, a lot of people really did go to the home fitness," Kettler Vice President of Operations Kimberly Ramsey said. "That didn't make it so people weren't using the amenities, but some people preferred to take their fitness in-house."

Bozzuto Regional Vice President Lauren Jarboe said the firm was forced to close down gyms at the beginning of the pandemic due to government restrictions, butopened them back upin July.

"Once we were able to open back up, there was a large demand of people wanting to work out inside," Jarboe said.

Bozzuto General Manager Mark Hannan, who manages Jair Lynch's The Kelvin apartment building near Nationals Park, said he has seen an increased demand for treadmillsas the weather has gotten colder.

The building's 2,700 SF gymhas four treadmills, and two of them had been closed off to support social distancing. But Hannansaid hereceived multiple requests from residents over the last week to open all of the treadmills, so his team rearranged the gym to allow all four treadmills to be used with proper distancing.

"It's really just about the space with the best layout of the equipment you have," Hannan said. "Some equipment isn't used as much, so maybe pushing that to an undesirable location or getting rid of it entirely for the time being so you can bring online the important things, the ellipticals, the treadmills, the weight area and providing enough space in those locations."

Ramsey said she hasn't seen a significant influx of fitness center usagein the weeks since the cold weather began, but she attributes that to the Thanksgiving holiday, and she said she is expecting a bigsurge after New Year's Day.

"Every year after the holidays, we see everyone start their New Year's resolution, even if it only lasts a few weeks, you always see an increase around that time," she said. "I'd anticipate we see a similar increase this year. I do think there's increased demand."

WC Smith Community Manager Connor Fay, who manages the three-building Capitol Riverfrontcomplex The Collective, said he expects an increase in usage of indoor fitness amenities during the winter. The Collective's third building, The Garrett, recently opened with a full-sized basketball court, a tennis court and a racquetball court, and the complex also has a lap pool, a golf simulator and multiplefitness studios.

"With the temperature drops, the likelihood of people running outside in 30-degree weather is reduced," he said. "While people might be pushed to come inside, we have a ton of different spaces they can use to keep working out through the winter."

Now roughly nine months from the start of the pandemic, these building managers have had time to implement a series of safety precautions for residents that choose to work out indoors.

At The Collective, Fay said the team has worked to preventcrowding in its larger fitness spaces. The tennis court and racquetball court can only be used by making reservations, and residents must fill outa sign-in sheet to use the basketball court.

The development's fitness amenities have also been limited to only residents during the pandemic, while previously residents were allowed to bring two guests per apartment. Fay said the remote working trend has also helped reduce crowding.

"With people working from home more, they're able to spread workout times throughout the day a little more ... rather than the morning and evening rush," Fay said.

The Collective's management team addeda new employeeto focus on the fitness amenities, Senior Events and Fitness Coordinator Adam Murphy. Fay said they made thehire because the thirdbuilding added multiple large fitness spaces and because they are seeing strong demand for the indoor fitness amenities.

The team has also increased the number of hand-sanitizing stations and wipes in the fitness spaces, and it shutsspaces down periodicallythroughout the dayto allow for morecleaning. It has also reorganized fitness equipment to allow for social distancing, and it has moved yoga classes from the studio to the basketball court.

At RiverPoint, Akridge ispreparing toinstall a product from pathogen control technology companyUV Angelin its common areas to kill virus particles and recirculate clean air.

"That's something we never thought about before the pandemic," Akridge said. "It's an airborne disease, and these units are specifically designed to kill pathogens in the air, so I think they'll be widely accepted as people learn more about them."

TheBozzuto team managing RiverPoint has implemented a reservation system for the building's2,700 SF fitness center to help maintain its limited capacity. The teamhas also increased the number of sanitizer stations and wipes.

In addition to the fitness center, the building has a heated rooftop pool that will allow residents to swim laps when it opens in January, andAkridge highlighted its proximity to public outdoor exercise options such as theAnacostia Riverwalk Trail and the kayaking offerings on the river.

At The Kelvin, in addition to rearranging the equipment in the fitness studio, the Bozzuto team has installed signage reminding people to wear masks, wipe down equipment and keep their distance from others.

The building's fitness center has a capacity limit of 30 people, but Hannan said it rarely has more than 10 people inside at one time. He said someresidentsare wary of entering when they see too many people in the gymat once.

"You do get some people not comfortable with certain amounts and decide to come back another time," he said.

Additionally, the Kelvinteam has shifted the budget it had planned for in-person class instructors to virtual workout offerings. The building now offers a series of virtual classes that residents can stream from their apartments.

"What we did was turn that into a virtual option, which was a money-saver for us, and we were able to offer more virtual classes because we didn't have on-site instructors coming in," Hannan said.

At some of Kettler's buildings, Ramsey said the team has installed plexiglass shields between pieces of workout equipment. She said it has also installed signs reminding residentsof health protocols, added more sanitizing stations and wipes, and increased the frequency of cleanings.

Kettler offeredoutdoor fitness classes during the warm weather months, and it is now ramping up its virtual fitness classes.

"We were able to appeal to some of those people that were less comfortable in the indoor environments and indoor amenities, we did see them participate more in the outdoor activities," Ramseysaid. "Those were very well-received when the weather was nice this summer, and honestly the weather was great up until about a week ago."

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) Newport News Fitness Coach and Influencer Robert Brix Glover is sharing his fitness journey on the popular Facebook talk show Red Table Talk with hosts Jada Pinkett-Smith and her daughter Willow Smith.

So, a few months ago, their producers reached out to me via email and there was a series on interviews. Then last month, they gave me a call and told me to fly out the next day. It was short notice, but it was an amazing experience and Im super grateful for the opportunity, said Brix.

The Norfolk State alumni shared his transformative weight loss story along with five other people during the episode. In 2013,Brix weighed close to 350 pounds, and lived a lifestyle of overeating, and partying. After struggling with his weight for years, he decided to buckle down and lose 140 pounds.

It was March 1, 2013. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had a breakthrough moment where I just decided to change everything about the way I existed, he said.

Brix believes mindfulness and meditation gave him the ability to sustain his weight loss. Now, he uses those tools to help others achieve their weightless goals through his own fitness brand that offers coaching, personalized training, and nutrition plans.

Brix said he hopes his story will inspire others to change their mindset and work towards living a healthier lifestyle.

Thats a big part of my mission. To use my life, my story, and to live by example. But yes, I definitely have seen these opportunities happening. It was an intention that I set for myself, said Brix.

You can follow Brix and his fitness journey on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. For Jamie Centilli, her barre and spin studio The Dailey Method is like a second home, she said. She opened it three years ago in the Eastown neighborhood and its been packed since then.

However, when the pandemic hit back in March, Centilli abided by state orders and made adjustments.

Its definitely been a struggle. From the beginning with the shutdown, we immediately tried to pivot to keep the business going, Centilli said during an interview with Fox 17 on Thursday. So, again with the second [order], we brainstormed right away and pivoted again to keep our clients moving because especially as we enter the winter months, its important to keep your body moving.

Centilli said exercise is also important for ones mental and emotional health. So when the state announced a second temporary order, or three-week pause, that began before Thanksgiving, she and her team brainstormed about how to encourage their clients to continue moving while stuck at home.

Now with the current order, we have opened the studio to where people can use their headphones. We record a class ahead of time that they can watch, and the bikes are set up 12 feet apart, Centilli said. So, its more like a traditional gym setting, although were much smaller. Between the two rooms, we can only have seven people.

Centilli said her clients and staff have been great at adjusting to the changes. However, its been a roller coaster emotionally, especially when the major fitness chains have remained opened.

The current temporary restrictions are expected to end next week. Centilli said shell be keeping a close eye on what the state says. In the meantime, theyll continue to abide the current order to help slow the spread of the virus.

I want this place to survive COVID, Centilli said. I say that all the time. So, that keeps me going.

Theres help in other areas on Noom too. Personalized help from real live human beings. And that help can be found in the community of other Noom users. Others who have gone/are going through what you are. So when you need a pick me up, these users can give you the emotional boost you need.

If you are using the app and dont need such personalized help, there are other benefits of Noom too. These coaches and the community help add to the large stock of workouts and recipes that are available to check out on Noom. That way, when you get into the swing of the routines, you can find like-minded workouts and recipes to add to your repertoire.

Even better is that Noom keeps track of your progress. This shouldnt be a surprise since this is a fitness app. But it should still be said that your workouts and your diet can be tracked in the app. That way you and others can see what elements of your routine need to be altered.

All of this help makes it possible for you to stay on track no matter how many Holiday Treats you eat. The holidays arent over soon and you will need the help for a good long while. And when you get into it, youll want to keep it around even when the holidays are over.

Two years ago, the Jaxjox KettlebellConnect flexed its tech, kicking sand in the faces of geekier gadgets at CES. The digitally adjustable 12- to 42-pound kettlebell saves space while letting users swing through live and on-demand routines and track their progress. But it turns out this progressive product was simply the first component of a larger fitness ecosystem. Now the Jaxjox InteractiveStudio is here, and its glorious.

The expansive home workout setup packages the KettlebellConnect 2.0 with similarly innovative implements, including DumbbellConnect (100 pounds of adjustable dumbbells), PushUpConnect (a four-position push-up trainer) and Foam RollerConnect (a vibrating roller with five intensity levels). Theres also a rotating 43-inch touchscreen, streaming classes and a machine-learning algorithm that helps you reach your swole goals.

So, its superior to, say, Mirror or Tonal?

Our competition tends to focus on either cardio or strength training we have both, plus the recovery element, replies Jaxjox founder and CEO Stephen Owosu. We are launching free weights with real-time tracking for the first time ever. You can move to any location and still enjoy that functionality.

Weve yet to see another home fitness product as simultaneously connected, modular and portable. Heck, even if your internet goes out, you can still lug the kettlebell and dumbbells out to the yard and tackle the toughest of CrossFit WODs.

Thats no happy accident, either. It was very much intentional and something weve worked on for a while, Owusu explains. Considering the mindfulness and muscularity of the InteractiveStudio, were hardly inclined to doubt him.

You know youve hit upon a revolutionary performance product when your sports governing body starts rewriting the rules. Thats what happened after Eliud Kipchoge broke the two-hour marathon barrier in a pair of souped-up Nikes last October. World Athletics banned from competition footwear with a sole thicker than 40 millimeters or more than one carbon plate. And this past spring, Nike announced the race-legal version of its wonder sneaker ahead of the planned Tokyo Olympics.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 caused the Olympics to be postponed, so the Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% did not get a worldwide primetime showcase. But for hardcore runners, the secret is out: the Alphaflys are fast AF.

What we have with the Alphafly is Zoom airbags plus ZoomX foam and a stiff carbon plate, and its all about propulsion, explains Nike senior footwear innovator Carrie Dimoff, a competitive runner herself. Helping your foot move as smoothly and quickly as possible into the forefoot stance and leverage the energy return get into that toe-off position and turn over your stride.

The shoe also boasts an ultralight knit upper and a streamlined outsole, and the ripple effects are palpable: the Alphafly presaged a number of similarly shaped, Olympics-ready imitators from other top running brands.

These kicks might not be for everyone theyre funky looking, expensive, elusive and most beneficial to elite racers. Now, however, a year after Kipchoges record-breaking jaunt, even recreational runners can take advantage of Alphafly tech in a trickled-down form: the Air Zoom Tempo NEXT% daily trainer ($200).

We've taken this fun, funky gravel bike across every type of terrain imaginable from cactus-lined Arizona trails to potholed Manhattan streets. And it's crushed them all.

Was it designed to ride everywhere? Maybe not. Maybe thats just what happens when an unconventional mountain-bike maker tackles an unlikely project.

Most gravel bikes are a road bike built up to a gravel bike we did the opposite, explains Evil Bikes COO Jason Moeschler. So youve got all of the big brands looking at it going, what in the world? And every single thing on this bike makes sense to the rider. It can all be justified.

The lightweight carbon frame featuring long, low and slack mountain-bike geometry, combined with fat-but-fast 700x50 tires, lets you nimbly navigate or powerfully plow uneven ground, be it loose rock, broken pavement or muddy singletrack.

Meanwhile, the sleek internal cable routing triggering the 1x12 drivetrain with an unreal 42-tooth granny gear conquers the steepest MTB trails or Pennsylvania country roads. And when you reach the top, hoo boy: just point downhill, grip those drop bars tight, flick the left lever to sink the saddle, and blast an epic descent thatll leave your roadie friends wondering where the hell this shockingly speedy matte-black beast came from.

Bellingham, Washington, youll whisper, as you pop the seat back up and disappear through the woods in a blaze of dust and glory.

You might be tempted to buy an $80 bottle of TheraOne Sleep CBD Tincture based on its packaging alone. The gentle monochromatic hue that likely has a name such as clay or morel conveys luxury, but it's approachable. It's also the least important element of TheraOne, a line of CBD products produced by Therabody, formerly known as Theragun. The company still makes those top-notch percussion massage devices, it has simply expanded to other recovery products, too.

To appreciate whats in this bottle, spin it 180 degrees. Along with a USDA Organic badge, rare in the CBD world, youll spot a QR code. Scan it with your phone's camera, and you'll proceed to a document titled "Certificate of Analysis," which outlines the results of a third-party lab test and precisely identifies the contents. The percentage of CBD, THC regulated to the non-intoxicating legal max of 0.3 percent and other cannabinoids are front and center, just above the signatures of a lab toxicologist and principal scientist.

"We want to make sure we educate our customers to know exactly what they are using," explains Dr. Jason Wersland, Therabody's chiropractor-founder. Indeed, the entire line emerged from his personal search for trustworthy CBD. "I was looking for transparency in the market that didn't exist."

The company's full-spectrum CBD extract includes all-hemp plant components, from cannabinoids like CBD to trace amounts of B vitamins, amino acids, magnesium and more. One ingredient you won't find in the tincture is melatonin, a common sleep aid linked to side effects and grogginess, which Therabody sought to avoid. Nevertheless, a dropper-full is sufficient on its own to transport you to dreamland and wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Indoor cycling may be perfect for pandemics and inclement weather, but lets face it: pedaling in place can be a drag. With unmatched accuracy, controlled resistance that can simulate 20 percent climbs and compatibility with Zwift and other apps, the carbon-and-steel-bodied Kickr Smart Trainer has long battled boredom, but its latest update truly leans in, so to speak. A new Axis platform adds five degrees of lateral movement, enabling you to shift left and right as though youre rolling over, yes, an actual road.

Innovative tech is most impressive when everyone can access it. Case in point: the Multidirectional Impact Protection System (MIPS for short), a scientifically proven helmet liner that creates a 10- to 15-millimeter slip plane, handling angled collisions at least 10 percent better than a similar helmet without it. Translation: MIPS significantly boosts any brain buckets protective potential. And while everyday riders would have had to pay a pretty penny for MIPS just a few years ago, Specialized has made it more affordable than ever in a dial-adjustable, commuter-friendly helmet that looks good, too.

A yoga mat's two primary functions are providing padding and grip. The GRP Adapt does both very well but pays particular attention to the latter. Manduka mixed up a new polyurethane formula that's bouncy and responsive but also extra absorbent, so when a session gets hot on purpose or otherwise you can hold the trickiest poses without worrying about slipping on sweat. If there's a single mat that can handle any practice (or workout, frankly), it's this one.

Too often, the primary difference between good running shorts and very, very average running shorts is about 50 bucks. Path Projects, a California-based running brand, uses a direct-to-consumer approach to nullify the extra cost while incorporating premium materials like Airtastic, the ultralight, stretchy, breathable and water-repellent fabric that makes the Sykes AT. Even with a phone, cash, gels and house keys tucked into its carefully placed, no-bounce pockets, logging miles in them feels like running in nothing at all.

Long gone are the days when a back-pocket pastry was considered the best source of carbohydrates to get you through a long run or ride. Breakthroughs in sports nutrition have produced a new batch of high-carb drink mixes that don't cause stomach issues. Cluster Dextrin, the key ingredient in Superfuel Drink Mix, consists of 60 to 70 glucose units (compared to maltodextrin's three to 20) that break apart slowly during digestion, providing strong, steady energy for the long haul. Let's see a croissant do that.

The term bright can apply to illumination but also brains, and this bike product boasts both. When connected to the GPS-guided Lumenus app, the headlight will start to strobe as you enter intersections, roundabouts and other high-traffic areas to increase your visibility. Yellow turn signals show nearby drivers impending turns. And an internal gyroscope blinkers the rear red brake light to indicate youre slowing down. Your only job? Remembering to mount it up and turn it on.
