These 5 Fitness-Focused Items Will Help Keep Your 2023 Health Goals On Track

The humble notebook (or diary) devoted to your fitness journey will help you keep yourself accountable. Use one to jot down your goals, your weight, or keep track of your diet (if you’re that way inclined). Just remember to set achievable goals that can be revisited (and edited) frequently.

A friend acting as a cheerleader or fitness co-conspirator is really going to help keep morale and inspiration high. These are the people who will motivate you to stay on track during the year, and even better if they partake in your workouts with you.

Lean in to the leading fitness-focused tech on the market with a wrist-worn device devoted to keeping you on track (quite literally). Fitbit and Garmin are two leading brands, but there is a motley crew available that integrates built-in GPS systems and exercise modes, keeping note of your sleep, heart rate, distance travelled and more.

Don’t make excuses when it comes to working out by arming yourself with everything you need for a decent sweat session within your own humble abode. A pair of dumbbells or a kettlebell will come in handy if squats are a part of your routine, a mat makes stretching (and sit-ups) easy, and a training band is great for resistance workouts. 

It’s time to throw away your old t-shirt from high school that you love to run in – studies have shown that putting on some quality workout gear can greatly increase your motivation. Why on earth would this be the case? Well, confidence is key, meaning a decent pair of running shorts and a sweat-resistant singlet could be all you need to help keep those 2023 fitness goals in check.
