5 Home Gym Technologies to Keep You Motivated

The best workout routine is one you stay committed to! Sometimes motivation is low-- perhaps you worked late, or the weather is bad, so you skip going to the gym despite your best intentions. An easy solution is working out at home. If you have reservations that you're not getting the same quality training or that your equipment will become another clothes rack, don't worry. These 5 home gym technology advancements will deliver incredible workouts and keep you motivated to reach fitness goals from the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Built-In Workout Apps

This is not new technology, but it's gotten better over time. The multitude of different routines built into treadmills and elliptical machines offer a variety of training that will constantly push you and keep exercise interesting. These apps are easy to use, normally consisting of a one-button press to get started. Most importantly, these apps have been designed by expert trainers. They are sure to deliver the best results in the limited time you have in your busy schedule. Many models of equipment display infomation on multi-use touch screens, allowing you to see your workout progress one minute, and stream a TV show the next. Burn more calories, keep progressing, and have fun while training in your home gym!

Activity Trackers

Who says you need to be on a treadmill in order to get a workout? With an activity tracker, you'll be able to approach fitness in a whole new way. Whether you're streaming a pilates video or spending the day cleaning your home, you'll have a wearable monitor of your heart rate, your blood oxygen level, your daily step count, and even calories burned. Lots of smart watches offer fitness-tracking features too, so pick the one you like and get moving!

Built-In Speakers with Smart Phone Input

Stop settling for the music everyone is listening to on the overhead speakers at the gym or getting tangled up in headphone cords while working out. Instead, crank up powerful speakers that are built into many elliptical machines, exercise bikes, or treadmills. Plug in your phone and select the music that motivates you. You can play it as loud as you'd like without having to worry about shared public space. Get more from every workout and make progress while bouncing along to the beat. If you need to switch playlists or other adjustments, your phone will be within easy reach.

Percussive Massagers

Is the fear of muscle injury deterring you from getting serious about working out? If that's the case, why not treat yourself to a percussive massager? These devices are a fantastic way to unwind tension after a workout, or any day you could stand to unwind! Available in several styles, these massagers have different settings to give you just the kind of massage your muscles need. It's like having a personal trainer in the comfort of your own home.
