Hit your fitness goals for the New Year with affordable fitness equipment from KSL Classifieds

With each new year comes the opportunity for a fresh start. For many, that journey includes working on a healthier lifestyle, from eating better to getting more exercise.

While we can’t help you much with the former — aside from recommending you literally toss the cookies — we can help you get fitter. KSL Classifieds has great deals on secondhand gym equipment everyday, so you don’t have any excuses to back out of your New Year fitness goals. 

Find deals on home workout equipment

No need to spend money on expensive gym memberships. On KSL, you can find affordable fitness equipment in Utah to help you achieve your goals right at home, whether you’re looking to build more muscle, get in more cardio or work on your flexibility.

Get in your daily steps, no matter the weather, with a treadmill.

Treadmills

Cold and icy outside? Doesn’t bother you. With a treadmill, you can still get in your daily steps, whether you’re doing a brisk walk, a light jog or an intense run. Get an adjustable platform and you can hike a mountain without getting your feet muddy.

Strength training equipment

Muscle burns fat, so if your New Year fitness goal includes losing weight, add weightlifting to your workout. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength training also helps develop strong bones, which in turn protects your joints. Researchers say strength training can even help sharpen your thinking skills.

Strength training benefits your body and mind.

Exercise bikes

Getting outdoors for a bike ride is a great way to get some exercise, but it can also be dangerous. Bad weather makes roads slick, not to mention freezing your face. Even when the weather is warm, traffic can make riding a bike on the street a little dicey. Invest in a stationary bike and you can get in your cardio and muscle strengthening workout in a safe place.

Yoga

Even if you are already in pretty good shape, you can probably benefit from yoga. It’s known for improving your flexibility, of course, but it also helps build your core strength and balance. Several studies suggest that yoga is also helpful in easing arthritis symptoms. 

It doesn’t even need to be a workout. Gentle yoga stretching at night can help you relax for a better night’s sleep.

Try yoga to improve your core strength or to help you relax.

Why you should track your health achievements

Part of the challenge of sticking with your New Year goals is seeing progress. It can be hard to see a difference in the mirror right away. That’s why it’s important to track your progress. A smartwatch can record: 

• How many calories you’ve burned

• How many steps you’ve taken and your cadence

• How long you exercised

• How many hours you’ll need to recover

• Your route and elevation gain

Some people thrive on data — knowing exactly how fast they ran each leg of that 5K or the number of minutes spent on the pickleball court. Others simply appreciate the reminder to stay active. Either way, having a smartwatch can remind you of how well you’re doing — or motivate you to try a little harder.

What to look for when buying used fitness equipment in Utah

Purchasing secondhand gym equipment can save you money, but it’s only a deal if it works as intended. Before buying something with complicated moving parts — ellipticals, rowing machines, etc. — test it out to make sure everything runs smoothly.

If it’s powered, turn it on and off to make sure there are no odd smells, grinding gears or shaking. Look out for any excessive physical wear or rust. You may also want to ask the seller if they’ve needed to do any repairs.
