TRADITIONAL FITNESS KIT

1 BOWFLEX SELECTTECH 5521 DUMBBELLS

Not all of us are blessed with plentiful space at home to create an Instagram-worthy domestic gym, but that doesn't necessarily mean buckling at a Fitness First membership deal. These selectable dumbbells from Bowflex span 2-24kg, giving plenty of room for muscle-building progression, while a simple twist and select mechanism makes for quick and easy weight selection. Robust, ergonomic and a great spacesaver for any home workouts.

2 TANGRAM FACTORY LED SMART JUMP ROPE

Jump rope is a fantastic way to burn calories, improve coordination and generally strengthen muscles, but sometimes it can get tedious. This connected rope from Tangram Factory tackles that by linking up with a smartphone app to track revolutions, monitor calorie burn and even offer interval training routines and fun challenges. The LEDs portray fitness data as you rotate the rope like an Eric Prydz light show, just with more sweat.

3 JAXJOX KETTLEBELL CONNECT 2.0

As with the Bowflex Select Tech system, JaxJox makes it dead simple to jump from 5.5-19kg with the simple press of a button. The stacking weight system resides inside the kettlebell, giving it a more natural feel when swinging, while built-in sensors keep track of your every movement. Sync up to the Jax Jox smartphone app and you can even make the most of guided workouts, stats tracking and long-term goal setting (and smashing).
