The Fat Burner:

For those of you with a small apartment or who are fans of minimalism, there is the space saving Kettler TX5 Folding Treadmill. Its sleek and stylish design will perfectly match your interior and with speeds up to 20 kph and an elevation of up to 12%, it will certainly get your heart pumping.

The Full Body Workout:

The Horizon Andes 6 Folding Elliptical Trainer works all the muscles in your body as well as keeping your heart rate up. This is great for an all over workout that will keep up your fitness. It folds up for easy storage, much like the Kettler Treadmill. It has a large number of training programs that will be brilliant if you are on the go and need a ready-made regime.

We know how busy your lives are, and fitness is

an important factor for everyone. So we have selected a number of tasteful looking and easy to use fitness machines for your enjoyment from the John Lewis range. All of the products can be found online if they are not available in store.

The Endurance Tester:

For a brilliant lower body workout, you need an exercise bike. We chose the Horizon Focus 308 Upright Exercise Bike. Not only does it completely go with the other machines that we have chosen, but it also has 11 programs and a up to a 16 level resistance; just perfect for people who strive for perfection. It also has transport wheels for easy movement around your home.

The Arm and Leg Toner:

If you want strong, toned muscles, then a rowing machine is the answer to your troubles. Again, these machines are also great for a cardiovascular workout as well as for your stamina. We recommend the Bremshey Arrow Ambition Rowing Machine, which is exclusive to John Lewis. It not only take up hardly any space, but it also folds up and has

wheels, so it’s perfect for a hectic lifestyle as you can get it out when you want and keep it out of your way the rest of the time.

The Quick Fixer:

Just 10 minutes on the Power Plate My3 is the equivalent of 60 minutes. Using vibrations, this clever gadget enhances your workout. While you stretch, do push ups and balance, the vibrations force your body’s muscles to work extra hard. Again, this machine is small and can easily fit out of the way in your home.

What to Wear:

Your workout wouldn’t be complete without the right outfit. We’ve taken the liberty of fitting you out in a vibrant Casall Studio Tank Top, which has breathable material, making it more comfortable for you. The matching fast-dry three quarter lengths go perfectly with the bright top for a sophisticated and wearable look. To finish off your gym clothes, we have selected some Fitflop leather trainers, that will tone as you exercise for some extra definition.
