MORE INDOOR INSPIRATION

ECHELON STRIDE

This impressively compact and surprisingly storable treadmill folds down to a mere 25cm thick, but still has a large (140x51cm) running surface and can hit 12mph across 12 speeds at an incline of up to 10%. There’s no touchscreen but manual modes are always ready to run, and it will connect to your chosen device using the Echelon app.

FORM SWIM GOGGLES

Unless you’re sadistically sticking with your open-water regime, winter swimming is an indoor affair – and no piece of tech helps to manage the monotony quite like these advanced tracking goggles, compete with HUD that tracks your laps, offers 1000s of workouts and training plans, and also syncs with HRMS to offer double the fitness data. £216 / formswim.com

VENOM GO

A hybrid recovery tool to help cope with the dreaded DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), this stick-on pad combines heat and vibration massage to target specific muscle pain across the neck, shoulder, back, calf and forearm. Choose from nine combinations of heat and vibration; the kit comes with three pads, each good for up to 20 applications.

HYDROW WAVE

A 30% smaller, £600 cheaper version of the original Hydrow advanced rowing machine, the Wave model offers the same quality of on-demand classes but in a more manageable form better suited to British bedrooms. The magnetic resistance is quieter too, meaning your neighbours won’t hate you as you work out 86% of your muscles each morning.

WITHINGS SCANWATCH HORIZON

When you want your health tracking, but don’t want to look like you care, you need Withings. Its latest smartwatch has something of the Omega Seamaster about it, with the added bonus of heart-rate, SPO2 and ECG monitoring, plus exercise, step and sleep tracking. It can tap into your phone’s GPS for outdoor larks. £500 / withings.com

SHAKTI MAT

We were sceptical too – it’s a bed of frickin’ nails. But the truth is, this ‘acupressure mat’ covered in plastic spikes is a brilliant relaxation and recovery tool. It does a great job helping muscles to heal and enhancing bloodflow; once you can get past the initial discomfort and lie still on it for at least 10 minutes, be prepared to feel surprisingly rejuvenated. £59 / shaktimat.co.uk
