01/ SHORT CIRCUIT
Short-shorts are making a comeback and they are more functional than ever. Fast-drying for ultimate, um, moisture management, the antibacterial and odour protection means they’ll be good to go even if they miss a wash or two. 2Xu Ghst 2.5in Shorts £45 2Xu.com
02/ STAY ON TRACK
“Non-exercise activity thermogenesis” – a fancy name for an active lifestyle – is like a cheat code for fat loss. Keep tabs on those movements that aren’t in sets and reps with Fitbit’s latest offering, featuring all-day tracking, sleep insights, heart-rate monitoring and more. Fitbit Versa 2 £200 fitbit.com
03/ ONE MORE REP
Powered by caffeine, the only weight-loss supplement to stand its ground against detractors, a top-tier pre-workout will allow you to push harder for longer, even in a calorie-depleted state. When every rep counts, take every advantage that you can get. The Pre-Workout+ £40 myprotein.com
04/ PUMP IT UP
Swapping barbecues for midday met-cons doesn’t mean the tunes need to take a back seat. With a four-hour battery life and built-in power bank to keep your phone battery fresh for any post-workout selfies, you’ll be primed to turn it up to 11. JBL Charge 4 Bluetooth Speaker £160 uk.jbl.com

09/ HEAVY METAL
A Russian-born one-stop shop for home-made gains, the kettlebell trumps the dumbbell for versatility, doing everything its two-headed cousins can and more. And it takes up considerably less space than a 7ft barbell. Time to join the swingers’ club. Bulldog Gear Box Kettlebell 24kg £70 bulldogger.eu
