Hands up whose health motivation faded the second daylight savings did? *Waves hand enthusiastically*
The past couple of months I’ve traded morning workouts for sleep, healthy food for carbo-loading (no, I’m not training for anything). As Health, Beauty and Style editor, that’s a little awkward to admit. But rather than prepare my over-sized robe for a cold season planted on the couch, I’m taking action.
I need back-up, people. Immediately. And help has come in the form of a motivating, get-off-the-couch artillery of products from Amart Sports. Because sometimes you just need something a little shiny and sexy to force you to get moving.
Celsius Yoga Mat $29.99.
Even if you never make it to a yoga class, I promise you’ll still use a good mat. Because I’m too lazy busy to get to a session, I’ll often roll out my mat while watching TV (Homeland, at the moment) and do squats and lunges, stretches or planks. Five minutes is enough to get my thighs burning and my blood pumping and I haven’t even had to leave the comfort of my living room.
Everlast Authentic Training Gloves in Purple $24.99, save $10 and Everlast Nevatear 3ft Boxing Bag $79.99, save $20.
I’ve always nodded unconvincingly at those people who bang on about boxing being a great workout. After attempting it for about 30 seconds recently, I had to stop and catch my breath. Sold. Having all the gear - the pretty purple gloves, the lovely carry bag - will only help with your motivations levels, too. Promise.
