Even if you’re not a New Year’s resolution-making person, we’re guessing you might want to start some healthy new habits now that we’ve said sayonara to a dumpster fire of a year. Since even the most ambitious of us might find it hard to start — and stick with — a new wellness routine while we’re still ears-deep in quarantine, these picks from Best Buy will help you get off the sofa and actually get excited to get back at it.
Multi-task your workout
Track your heart rate and change the song at the same time, all while running up a hill. Aside from the obvious fact that this stainless smartwatch is so stylish, the sleep tracking is excellent and so is the new ECG reading.
Sweat to the beat
If you can’t imagine doing crunches without tunes, these sweatproof wrap-style headphones deliver clear highs and bone-deep bass. They stay put whether you’re on rep 10 or 100, and 30 hours of battery life ensure they’re always juiced.
Dance like we're all watching
The sound pumped out of these bean-shaped buds is so robust, you’ll almost forget that you haven’t seen a live show since 2019. You’ll barely know that you’re wearing them, too. Living-room dance party anyone?
Improve your smoothie situation
Instead of running out for your usual $10 smoothie fix, stay in and fire up this beastly stainless Vitamix. It lets you control the blade speeds and the consistency of your smoothie (or homemade hummus or salsa), and it will pay for itself in no time.
Loosen up
This handheld massager is your new best friend if your workouts — or your workdays — leave you aching. It uses percussion vibrations to increase circulation and the Bluetooth-enabled Hyperice app helps you guide the good vibes right to where it hurts.
Spin away your stress
This studio bike has all the bells and whistles, but the thing that really stands out is the huge 22-inch HD touchscreen. Follow your trainer on rides (you get a free one-year iFit membership with purchase) and you’ll almost feel like you’re riding with a real person.
Make your smoothies spoon-friendly
If you like to eat your smoothies with a spoon, this blender has a thicker “smoothie bowl” option that will not disappoint. The 1200-watt-driven blades destroy frozen fruits and veggies, and there’s a power paddle on the top to make sure bigger chunks don’t get choked up.
Simplify your kitchen counter
This all-in-one microwave, convection oven, broiler, and air fryer makes eating cleaner (and cheaper) in 2021 easy. Panasonic crams so many cooking options into this compact appliance— whip up oil-free fries, broil healthier spicy wings, and yes, you can bake bread in it.
Bring your favorite gym class home
If your gym membership is still on hold, put the money toward this affordable spin bike and work out whenever you want. Resistance is good, it connects with your favorite apps, and it comes with SPD cleats and bonus three-pound hand weights.
Drink your vitamins
This juiced-up machine uses cold-spin technology to make sure the nutrients in your apple-carrot-ginger concoctions don’t get cooked. A 3.5-inch chute means you don’t have to spend tons of prep time chopping stuff into tiny pieces either.
