Award-winning fitness gear for home workouts

Enhance your workouts with top products from the Men’s Health and Women’s Health Fitness Awards.

Get in shape with this award winning workout gear. Our Hearst partners at Men's Health and Women's Health are out with their annual fitness awards. Their experts like fitness directors Ebenezer Samuel and Jacqueline Andrieo spent countless hours testing to find the best of the best in workout equipment. First up, the rep fitness resistance band set, coming in at $70. We have 4 resistance bands in this. And then two large and super powerful mini bands. What we love about the loop resistance bands here at Men's Health is the fact that you can literally just loop them around your feet and right from there we can get into everything from Romanian deadlifts, which are hamstrings to biceps, curls. They travel really well, so really great to get *** full body workout if you're in *** hotel, if you're just if you're going. Out for camping or anything like that, you can take these resistance bands just about anywhere and you can use them in the gym too. Next, these adjustable weights from stacks selling for $98. While it looks like you just have *** standard dumbbell here, you actually have 3 dumbbells in one. The ends of the stacked weights actually come right off. They are an adjustable set, so this piece. You add the 2 pounds here and you have *** 4 pound dumbbell. If you just use an end, you have *** 2 pound dumbbell, and when you have it all together, you have *** 6 pound dumbbell. It is very hard to find an adjustable weight that is also *** lightweight. If you're somebody that loves *** sculpt workout like perhaps power yoga or Pilates or bar, then *** light dumbbell is *** really great way to level up that burn and you. Likely heard *** lot about this next product, the Aura ring. The price starts at $349. It can track your sleep and even give an early warning that you're getting sick. This is the Aura ring Gen 4. I wear mine every day. I am so into data and the amount of biometrics and information about your training and your recovery that Aura Ring can provide is pretty impressive. This Gen 4 is their newest model 21 of my favorite features is the readiness score. You can see I have *** 78 here. I probably need to do *** little bit better with *** rest day, some active recovery. You can show here the body temperature recovery index sleep. It's taking all of these factors and giving you *** tip here about what your body needs that day. If you have *** really good score, you'll get *** little alert from your aura ring to say, Hey, you're in great shape today. Your body can push it. If you have *** health savings account or *** flexible spending account, contact your provider before you buy any fitness equipment. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement.
