Frequently Asked Questions: 15 Fitness Finds
Do I need all this equipment to start a New Years reset?
Not even close. Many people start with one or two tools that fit their space, schedule and preferences – then build from there.
Is home exercise equipment only for experienced exercisers?
No – many of these products are designed to support both beginners and experienced users. Start where you are.
How do I know which products fit my goals?
Pay attention to what helps you stay consistent—whether it’s daily movement, strength training, or recovery time. Consistency beats perfection.
Can tracking habits help along with fitness equipment?
Absolutely. Tracking exercise, routines, or nutrition in MyFitnessPal adds helpful awareness as you build new habits and see what actually works.
Is it okay to start small?
Yes – and frankly, it’s often a smart move. Sustainable routines can begin with manageable changes that don’t feel overwhelming. (1)
Bottom line
A New Year’s reset doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective. When fitness equipment supports your lifestyle – rather than trying to completely overhaul it – it becomes much easier to stay consistent. Whether you’re adding more movement, building strength at home, or focusing on recovery and fueling, small changes over time and supportive tools can play a real role in keeping you on track. (1) Pair the small steps with tracking in MyFitnessPal and you’ve got a reset built for real life — not just January.
