Looks at all… 30

The Guinness Book of World Records has a new record: Wendy Ida is the oldest fitness instructor. At 65, she’s rocking out at a hundred, and she looks 30. The secret, of course, is movement. “Before I discovered sports, my life was a mess,” Wendy says. She has reached the highest heights in bodybuilding, and worked in the coaching staff of a soccer club in Los Angeles, and will tell you everything about nutrition, and teach you Pilates – in short, a jack of all trades.

Raise the bar

The plank is an effective but exhausting static exercise designed to strengthen the abs and back.

A new development called the Plank Pad can help increase your endurance. A smartphone with a special game app is placed on this unstable surface. Leaning on the Plank Pad in the plank position, you need to lean slightly from side to side: the smartphone reacts to each movement and you avoid certain “obstacles”. This device will allow you to distract yourself from counting seconds, your workout will fly by unnoticed, but at the same time more productive.

Extra weight that you can take off

Your own mini-gym

The W8 Gym is a multifunctional piece of equipment that can be used to perform about 200 exercises for different muscle groups. This device will fit under the bed without any problems. Externally, the equipment resembles a container in which you can place dumbbells or TRX loops. You get your own gym in miniature.

Compact bars

BaseBlocks is a folding exercise equipment that can be assembled in minutes. It looks like a bar, but you can perform about 50 different exercises on it for the muscles of legs, body and upper body. Perhaps, such equipment is more suitable for people who have experience in fitness, or athletes.

Dance floor in your own room

The iDance! application allows you to spend your time in a fun and useful way, and you don’t have to leave your room for that. Different types of dances, personal trainers (though virtual) and the opportunity to become a choreographer – all this is possible for users of the application.

Yoga on your phone

Relaxation just got easier

The Neofit Roller shrinks to 10 cm when you want to take it with you and expands to 30 cm when you want to use it. To do this, simply squeeze or stretch it with your hands. This kind of roller helps to relieve muscle fatigue, enhance your body’s recovery and improve joint health.

An unusual towel

Aquis is no ordinary towel, but an ultra-absorbent towel. It absorbs moisture five times faster than cotton counterparts, which is convenient, for example, when drying hair. In short, you can dry your hair without having to use a hair dryer, which damages your hair by heating it up. Aquis is very compact and can fit even into small sports bags.

“We are not following in the footsteps of the development of conventional hair towels. We have made a discovery. Introducing Aquishair towels and turbans that allow you to straighten your hair from shaft to cuticle, fighting water fatigue,” states the manufacturer.

There’s no plastic, there’s gymnastics

S’well Bottle offers stainless steel bottles for every taste and color. Maintaining water balance is doubly useful if you do not use plastic materials, the manufacturers believe. The advantage of such a bottle is its ability to keep liquids cool despite outside temperature conditions.

Now to postpone the matter in a long box is definitely inadmissible. If you think about it, motivation is not that hard to find: sometimes it’s enough just to buy new sneakers. And new designs are a new challenge to yourself. Go ahead.
