Fitness routines have taken on a whole new meaning since the pandemic started. We’ve gotten creative and built at home gyms lifting cans instead of weights, trialled new fitness routines like Yoga and have most definitely attempted a healthy recipe or two we saw on Tik Tok. We’ve found motivation in ways we never thought possible and a work-life balance we’ve always wanted. Now that we seem to have figured this fitness lifestyle out, it’s time to add some fun gadgets to make it even better.

Juicers and Blenders
Back in 2009, the world went into a frenzy when cold-pressed raw juices became all the rage. They were said to boast a load of health benefits if done correctly. Fast forward, and the trend came to stay. Juicing is still wildly popular, with a wide range of health benefits and a great way to get the minerals and vitamins from veggies without all the cooking. Whether you’re juicing your veggies or blending your fruit, both are a great addition to your at-home cooking routine to give you that extra boost of nutrition.
Want to start small? Then give the Nurtribulet 900W blender a try. Convenient and powerful at 900 watts, this nutrient extractor easily breaks down seeds, fruits and vegetables given you the flexibility to make extra delicious combinations. But the best part is the bladed top can be replaced with a lid, so all you have to do is blend and go.
Now that you’ve got everything you need to maximise your fitness routine, you’re sure to meet all your fitness goals this year. And if you’ve still not started towards your fitness resolutions, it’s not too late. From activity trackers to blenders, head to JB Hi-Fi for all your fitness tech and health needs.
