RIDE WITH THE PACK Peloton Plus Exercise Bicycle

FROM $2,295 PLUS MONTHLY $39 APP SUBSCRIPTION FEE Riding alongside others in a lively guided studio class is ideal, but not always schedule-friendly, so the Peloton app allows 24/7 access to immersive live and on-demand classes via a 23inch screen, featuring enthusiastic trainers and inspiring music tracks. The app also provides access to a huge library of guided strength and cardio routines.

GET FIT: ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT TO BUILD YOUR OWN HOME GYM

A gym membership is great at first, but the trips often become less frequent because it’s raining or you’re too tired to go out. A home gym allows you to exercise at your convenience so you can ditch the stretchy pants while improving your health.

TAKE A WALK NordicTrack Commercial 2950 Treadmill

$2,499 Walks or running are great cardio workouts, but what if it’s snowing, raining, or too hot to go outside? A treadmill is the solution, especially one with a 22-inch screen to access live WiFi workouts with iFIT trainers.
