What if we said eating cheese could be part of a fitness regime? Instead of having protein supplements, cheese lovers can enjoy natural low-fat, low-carb and high-protein cheese with this Eatlean cheese hamper.

Compression gear (RRP starts at £20)
Wearing compression gear provides a whole host of benefits. Studies have found that wearing this type of tight-fitting clothing both during and post workout increases oxygen uptake to the working muscles and reduces blood lactate levels. An added benefit of this gear, due to its skin-tight construction, is the wicking that reduces sweat pooling and keeps you warm. You can get socks, shorts, leggings and upper-body gear, which are designed with varying degrees of compression in them.

Castore Corinthia Tee (RRP £48)
The Corinthia t-shirt is an excellent workout top for the gym or outside running in the summer. Its 100% sonic welded construction alleviates all irritation and chafing while allowing for good ventilation. The standout feature of this top, however, is that the fabric is 100% odour protective, so it won’t smell no matter how hard you train.

Groov-e Sound Buds (RRP £60)
Listening to music can be a great distraction when exercising. There are a number of options out there if you want wireless earphones these days. There are extremely expensive truly wireless (no cables or neckband) options like AirPods or Powerbeats Pro; however, we think the Groov-e Playbuds make a great affordable alternative.
These earphones have a sleek, compact and minimalist design. They boast Bluetooth 4.1 technology, ensuring that fitness fans are able to connect their earphones seamlessly with any smart device that’s up to 10 metres away. They also provide three hours of listening time and 20 hours on standby – users simply place the earphones inside the carry case when the battery is low. The portable case, which doubles up as a charger, will then provide an additional seven hours of music playback.

Vibrating foam roller (RRP £99.99)
Foam rollers provide a great way to stretch and lightly massage your body after an intense workout. This one, however, has the added benefit of a vibrating function, meaning you can get into those hard knots and receive a more comprehensive massage.

Fitbit Versa 2 (RRP £179.99)
Those who have read our top fitness trends of 2020 piece will already know that wearable technology is going to be the most popular trend next year. While there are many options out there that may be cheaper (but also more basic), we think the Fitbit Versa 2 offers the best value for money. Unlike the more expensive Apple Watch, you can pair this with any phone and take advantage of all the features included on the device. You can track useful data about your sleep, health and fitness, as well as use Amazon’s Alexa to control your smart home devices.

Nike ZoomX Vaporfly (RRP £239.95)
Many may think that £240 is pretty steep for a pair of trainers. However, we wanted to highlight these trainers, as they were the shoes worn by Eliud Kipchoge when he broke one of sport’s great barriers this year by running a marathon in under two hours. The curved carbon-fibre plate put in these trainers is said to improve metabolic efficiency by 4% and independent studies agree with Nike’s conclusions that they bring a significant advantage over other trainers.

PowerPlate Pulse (RRP £299.95)
The PowerPlate Pulse is a powerful handheld massager that helps relax and rejuvenate tight and sore muscles, release fascia and promote blood flow to help you prepare faster and recover quicker. Unlike a basic foam roller, this device can focus directly on the muscles and knots needing massaging after an intense workout and its six attachments allow for an even more targeted and tailored experience.
