Wellness is an ever-expanding market, but be wary of misleading marketing claims and unproven ingredients.
People seek wellness products that are ethically sourced and sustainable, as well as supporting influencers who promote healthier lifestyles.
From soothing aches to amplifying post-workout recovery routines, wellness gifts will help everyone on your list feel their best from within out.
Whoop
The WHOOP wearable device is best-known for its ability to track recovery, sleep, strain and overall athletic performance. Athletes use it to improve their performance while decreasing injury risk; its latest incarnation, the WHOOP 4.0 boasts sleek designs with up to five days battery life and advanced technologies like haptic alerts for sleep coaching.
Whoop uses GPS, motion sensors, and manual journal entries (including alcohol/caffeine consumption, nutrient consumption and menstrual cycles) to track various metrics throughout each day. At day’s end these data points are then converted to provide a Strain, Sleep, and Recovery score for an individual’s day of tracking.
Whoop stands apart from similar wearables by encouraging users to focus on recovery and sleep first. Under proper guidance, this technology can help users perform at their optimal without jeopardizing their health or wellness, even helping you sleep faster and more regularly than ever before!
Bala Bangles
Bala Bangles are an innovative new way to add resistance training into your workout regimen. Crafted from recycled steel wrapped in baby-soft silicone and featuring elastic Velcro straps that securely fasten around wrists, palms, or ankles – not forgetting their convenient color-matched case for storage and portability!
Karisa Karmali of Self-Love and Fitness suggests using bangles during low-impact workouts such as yoga sculpt, barre classes or walks as well as bodyweight-based exercises such as arm circles for increased effectiveness. She cautions that using them during high impact activities such as tennis can put undue strain on joints and tendons.
Bangles may also be too light for more advanced weightlifters; if you want a tougher workout, adjustable dumbbells or resistance bands might provide better solutions.
