Upgrade your home gym with these fitness essentials

For the most part, gyms remain closed — and where they have reopened, it is still a risky idea to visit them. The solution for many of us is clear: It’s time to move workouts from the gym to the home. Which makes this fall the perfect time to take your living space and add the necessary fitness components that can make it work for your exercise regime, and your life. Right now, Best Buy is offering some amazing discounts on fitness equipment, from treadmills to smartwatches to massagers to help bring all the benefits of working out to you and your home.

Fitbit Sense Advanced Health & Fitness Smartwatch

— $330

An essential accessory for fitness tracking from Fitbit, a brand you know. The great thing about a Fitbit watch like the Sense is it won’t set you back in the same way that an Apple Watch or other smartwatches will, but it’s still jam-packed with features, and it’s geared specifically towards health.  It can constantly and easily help you monitor your heart, keep tabs on your stress,  and can help you with sleep.  It even has a feature that keeps an eye on your skin temperature.  The amazingly bright display and easy OS make navigation and notification easy as can be and as a bonus, its Amazon Alexa integration puts it to work using only voice commands.

It’s built to knock some time off your warm-up, as well as from your recovery time after a workout. Nothing is better for your muscles than a good massage.

JBL Boombox 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

— $500

Something many of us miss about the gym isn’t the facilities or the classes or the camaraderie, but the inspiration we get from the music pumped into our gym or our various studios. With the JBL Boombox 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, you get all that great sound — with monstrous bass you can feel — with more portability and customization than you’ll find at any gym,. The built-in power bank helps you keep your other devices charged. There’s a battery that lasts 24 hours, it’s waterproof, and it’s super transportable, so — your backyard, your living room, your friend’s driveway — it goes wherever your workout takes you.
