Equipment to satisfy your inner bougie while working out
Summer bod goals crash and burn by the middle of June? Join the club. But perhaps the best thing about fall, besides guys in grey sweatpants, is that there’s ample time to concentrate more on exercise.
You won’t be scouting dudes on the beach this winter, mingling at pool parties, and stuffing your face at backyard BBQs. Feel like a million bucks when you snap back into a workout regimen with this self-starter luxury exercise equipment.
1. NordicTrack X22i Incline Trainer
Whether you’re streaming high-energy workouts or joining trainer-led cardio seshes (incline-matching tech intuitively syncs with the ups and downs of the excursions hosted in breathtaking locations around the world), you’ll reach new heights and burn five times the calories with a 40-percent incline. This is compared to walking at a six percent incline at two miles per hour for 20 minutes. It feels super high-end as soon as you step onto it,. Which makes the experience all the more satisfying. $2,999 (includes membership). nordictrack.com.
2. Peloton Bike
Other fitness equipment manufacturers began upgrading their outdated static bikes when the standard-setting Peloton hit the market a few years ago.
