If you are like me, you may overindulge a bit during the holidays. (I already did with Halloween candy and now Thanksgiving pies… oops!) If this is relatable, I for one won’t shame you. We all have setbacks and are finding the balance of enjoying the little things in life, celebrating holiday festivities without guilt, and not overdoing it.
Something to help balance out all the eating is a great workout routine. For those who like to have or want to build a home gym of sorts – even a stationary bike in the corner of your living room counts –Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best shopping days to make that investment. Let’s get to some great deals and start setting some new fitness goals.
Upgrading a set of dumbbells, finally getting a new yoga mat, or taking the plunge and getting a piece of equipment like a treadmill, an under-desk elliptical, or a rowing machine, it all can help us kick our butts into gear. In addition to actual workout gear, I also rounded up some fitness accessories and things you may need for support to make everything more breezy, including this portable Theragun for post-workout cooldown and stress relief.
I personally own and use the Yosuda indoor cycling bike below. I wanted to find one that was easy to build, simple to use (I didn’t need a screen or an app), and tracked the absolute basic metrics I wanted. I’ve really enjoyed this bike and think it was a good value for the price!
As Chris Reed mentions in his roundup of best Apple Deals, the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch for iOS users. If you don’t have an Apple Watch, you want to upgrade, or you are gift shopping, we’ve got good news for you: All three Apple Watch models – the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Series 10, and the Apple Watch Ultra – are all still on sale right now.
Another highlight to share from Apple Watch discounts is that the Apple Watch SE 2 is down to only $149; this is the best price we’ve seen for a new watch from Apple. See all the Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals going on this week in one spot for even more.
If you’re not into Apple products and want an alternative fitness watch, Fitbits are some of the top Android smartwatches around. Our favorite is the Fitbit Charge 6, thanks to its slim, sleek design with loads of health tracking features, and a solid battery life. See which Fitbit fits you across the different styles and sizes on sale now for Cyber Monday:
For folks trying to upgrade equipment or fill a need around their workoute routine, a little can go a long way. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a routine going and to follow a new gameplan. Your attitude is everything, but sometimes having new running shoes, making smoothies everyday or getting a nice set of weights and resistance bands can make all the difference.
Now is the time to shop. There are thousands of deals going on right now, with some of the most popular products already selling out, including many Disney LEGO sets, consoles and video games. Thankfully, you can still get the best discounts on the top tech brands you know and love on Dec 1 and Dec 2. See what we’ve found live across retailers’ sales including Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals, Target’s Cyber Monday deals, Best Buy’s Cyber Monday deals, and Walmart’s best Cyber Monday deals. If you see something you want, order it now before deals expire.
