Stay fit in small apartments with these fitness gadgets

All of this time spent around the house is doing weird things to a lot of people. You're cleaning more than you ever cleaned before, organizing all of those old drawers, and maybe you even want to start a fitness regimen. But you're stuck in your small apartment, and the last thing you have room for is a large machine. Or maybe you're just trying to keep up with the fitness habits you had in place before this whole mess started. That's why we've rounded up a list of fitness gadgets for small spaces.

Escape Fitness Deck 2.0 Portable Workout Platform in Use

Isolation does weird things to a person. For many of us, the gym is the last place we want to go to. We’ll find a million reasons to skip it. But when you’re stuck at home, you start to think about doing things that never held any appeal to you before. Like exercising. Or maybe you’re lamenting the loss of heading to the gym to work out your stressful day on the treadmill and throw some weights around. (There are actually people who like the gym. Who knew?) But you don’t have access to the fitness gadgets you’re used to using. And what if you live in a small space? You need something that’s going to fit both your lifestyle and your space.

If you’ve been straddling the line between wanting to keep up on or start a fitness regimen and just saying, “Forget about it until things are back to normal,” you might want to think about daily exercise. A lot of us are struggling right now, and the mental benefits of exercise are pretty well-documented. Studies show that daily exercise can help with depression, anxiety, and stress. And if you’re anything like us, you’re feeling at least one of those.

Exercise also helps to improve your immune system, as does meditation. And don’t you want to do anything you can right now to improve your immune system? Global pandemics aren’t really a great time to let that bodily function weaken.

So, take a deep breath, prepare yourself to exercise daily, and check out all of these home workout gadgets that won’t take up much room at all. We have everything you’ll need to consider, such as gadgets for posture, tracking your progress, and sore muscles. And be sure to hydrate well!
