Next-level gear is sure
to keep you motivated
Just like we all tend to give in to the temptation of December's over-indulging, January ushers in new motivation for healthy living. But just because we're all doing what we always do, doesn't mean you can't be successful. This year, give yourself an advantage by upgrading your fitness kit. New year, new gear, right? A refresh of your workout wardrobe and accessories will give you the confidence to try new things or simply feel damn good about yourself while you're getting in your reps. Maybe you've already signed up for Apple Fitness+ or downloaded a workout app like Shred on your phone. Which means you're already motivated. Of course, new stuff doesn't completely take the sting out of an early morning workout on a bone-chilling winter day, but it helps. We promise.

FYI
Chewing gum can actually boost your workout. Recent studies (PDF) found it helps you maintain an elevated heart rate, which gets the blood flowing and increases your energy output while also helping you stay focused. We like it because it also helps keep your mouth from drying out. Want an even bigger boost? Try caffeinated gum.
