What’s your New Year’s resolution? Exercise and weight loss top the list of resolutions for 2024, but you don’t have to start your workout routine on New Year’s Day to stick with it. In fact, it might be better to wait a few days before you dive into a new routine.

The benefits of working out regularly extend beyond the physical body. For example, exercise helps relieve stress, can improve your overall mental health and help you feel more accomplished (it’s not easy sticking to a workout routine!). It also stimulates endorphins in the brain to boost your mood and make you feel more relaxed.

Having personally lost 30 pounds through a strict exercise and dieting routine — which included cutting out salt, processed sugar, bread and alcohol — I know a bit about what it takes to shed the pounds and how hard it cane be. So, don’t worry if you don’t see physical results right away. In my case, it took more than a month before I saw any real results, which made it hard to stay motivated but what you eat is just as important as how much you exercise. For example, eating small portions, multiple times a day can help speed up your metabolism (as it did for me) and help you lose weight but according to some medical experts, sticking to three, properly portioned meals can also help with weight loss.

Regardless of how you go about it, if you want to see a change your body, you’ll have to change your mindset first. That means committing to a routine, giving up guilty pleasures (at least to start) and incorporating things like fresh fruits and vegetables, proteins such as meats and fish as well as beans and nuts such as almonds, cashews and peanuts, and drinking lots of water (yes, drinking water can aid in weight loss).

Although gyms usually offer holiday deal and New Year’s discounts, going to the gym isn’t feasible for everybody. Some people don’t have the time, money or the ability to make it to a gym, which is why home workouts come in handy. In addition to potentially saving you time and money, working out at home is a convenient way to start getting fit (it also helps if you’re shy or maybe self-conscious about hitting the gym, which was the case for me in the beginning).

To help you get started, we’ve collected a list of sales on must-have exercise equipment and fitness gear. While you won’t find a gym bag, smart watch, activewear, headphones for working out or a massage gun listed below, you will find a variety of items for traditional cardio, strength training and more, ranging from budget friendly to splurge worthy.
