Summer is around the corner, and so now’s a great time to up the ante – or for some, start – on your workouts. While we’re big advocates of looking after your physical and, of course, mental health year-round, we also know working towards a goal and having a timeframe of when you want to achieve it can give you the push you might really need.
So, how can you do this? How can you supercharge your exercise routine, so you look and feel your very best every day? While there is a laundry list of things you can do – including finding a workout or gym that’s convenient for you, mixing up your workouts if you’re easily bored and buying cute and flattering workout wear – one important way is to invest in some quality fitness tech.
Ahead, we round up some of the latest fitness tech from JB Hi-Fi to consider investing in. From an Apple Watch that learns your habits and average heart rate ranges the more you wear it and so can then more accurately count your calories, to a sleek Himo Electric Bike with a light, yet sturdy aluminium frame and five electric assist modes, these are our picks for the best gear to buy before (or during) summer to supercharge your workout – all available online at JB Hi-Fi.
