Thanks to the pandemic, the pace of at-home fitness innovation has clearly accelerated over the past several months. Products like Apple Fitness+, a new, rotating Peloton and countless screen-based workout platforms are just a few examples.
But even with all those launches, the fitness cupboard was hardly bare at this week’s virtual Consumer Electronics Show, which showcased not only some excellent at-home fitness tech, but also promising releases for shaping up (wait for it) outside.
Here are some eye-catching trends and items with the potential to have a big impact on your fitness ambitions in the coming year.
Cooler Earbuds
It’s CES, so of course there are loads of new audio options. But the ones that most catch our attention from a fitness perspective are Bose’s new Sport Open Earbuds, which stand out by not going inside your ears, but rather sitting right on top. OpenAudio tech keeps the tunes flowing with a more natural listening experience that still allows you to hear your running or cycling friends — not to mention the horn of that truck barreling through a red light.
