All the Health and Fitness Gear Keeping Us Inspired This February

"I do a lot of home workouts, which means sometimes I don't have the luxury of finding a padded place to do planks. So, I bought a Prosource Fit Exercise Balance Pad ($20) to cushion my arms. It really helps while I do exercises on the hard floor that might otherwise hurt my elbows. This is also great to use for any standing balancing move to add a little more intensity." — Sam Brodsky, assistant editor, Fitness
