The whole “new year, new you” maxim is undoubtedly a cliché. But the truth is that there’s never a bad time to improve your health. So if starting a new orbit around the sun lights a fire under your butt to get moving, run with it (literally). Thanks to all the smart home gym equipment, workout apps and streaming services, fitness trackers, and other consumer health technologies available today, you don’t even need to go to the gym to get lean and make gains.
For anyone who’s less than comfortable with the idea of breathing heavily in a confined public space or wearing a mask while working out, this technology is a true blessing. And for those who are new to the world of fitness or just getting back into it after a period of inactivity, rest assured that many of the latest technologies offer beginner-friendly workouts, guidance for newbies, and virtual personal trainers.
With so many smart health and fitness products to choose from, it can be tough to narrow them down, and that’s where we come in. At PCMag, our mission is to help you make the most informed buying decisions, which is why we exhaustively test every product we review and analyze its strengths, weaknesses, and value compared with the competition.
As a yoga teacher and PCMag’s fitness expert, I get to test and review all the latest smart health technologies—and some of the recent innovations I’ve seen are truly impressive. But not every product is a winner, and not every good product is the right fit for everyone.
