        SMART FITNESS MACHINES
        Going to the gym has many health benefi ts,
        but what if your schedule doesn’t allow for
        gym time? Technology can bring the fi tness
        experience right to you with machines you
        can install in your home; thus, saving time
        on a gym commute. Many of these at-home
        smart fi tness machines require the monetary
        investment  and commitment  to working
        out daily, as well as a monthly subscription
        fee for streaming content. However, it can
        be worth it if you are in an area that doesn’t

        o er easy access to gyms and workout
        facilities, or your schedule doesn’t allow
        much time in the gym. These machines will
        enable you to set a routine, and knowing
        that the fi tness machine is in the house can
        be motivation enough to create time for a
        workout. It all depends on the experience
        you want to get out of your fi tness workout
        — being competitive in a class with others,
        or thriving in a single workout. Regardless
        of your exercise choice, make sure you are
        mindfully moving each day.
