Whether you’re starting a new diet or exercise program, or just looking to add something new to your current routine, here is a tool box of healthy ideas and products to help you look and feel great. (Before starting a new exercise or diet plan remember to talk with your doctor, especially if you are managing or at risk for a health condition.)

Exercise Machines

Having an elliptical trainer, treadmill or exercise bike at home is a fantastic way to get your daily exercise, regardless of the weather outside. Exercise machines vary in size, so take your body size and where you’ll store the machine into account before making a decision. Other factors to consider: the number of programs included, memory and customization functions, amount of power used and ease of assembly.

Heart Rate Monitors

Many heart rate monitors look and function similarly to a wristwatch and can help you stay in optimal heart rate zones during exercise. Measuring your heart rate is important for getting the most out of your workouts, but can be especially important if you have any heart health concerns.
