Weighing scale is something you should always have at home, especially if you’re serious about your workouts and watching your weight closely. Still, there is something new on the market you should look at: weighing scale that tracks your BMI (Body Mass Index) as well as the body fat percentage. The best thing is that you can even find a model that can track the data of several people (Firbit Aria tracks up to 8 users) so you can monitor your own progress as well as the one of your workout partner. To make it even more fun, you can sync it with your phone or computer and you’ll be notified when you achieve a fitness goal.

3. Fitness tracker

Fitness trackers are always a good investment, as they can measure the time you spend moving because they come with a motion tracker and remind you when you should keep going if you’ve been idle for too long. For those who are really passionate about their workout and active lifestyle, it’s always better to get the one whose battery lasts longer, and some models’ battery can last up to a week (Fitbit Flex model). Just pick the design and the colour you like and you’ll be able to keep track of the number of steps you took, calories you’ve burned, as well as the distance you’ve covered during the day.
