All the Health and Fitness Gear Keeping Us Inspired This February

"The Stick ($28) is the one piece of fitness gear that I can't do without. It's a muscle massager that digs in even deeper than a foam roller, and it's gotten me through IT band pain, shin splints, and every sore leg muscle in the book. Use it before and after workouts to soothe soreness and prevent injury, especially if you're trying new exercises or training for a big race. (PS — it's on Amazon.)" — Maggie Ryan, assistant editor, Fitness
