Working out while traveling can be a challenge—and hotel gyms don’t help. You can workout anywhere with this little device that measures force and connects to an app that will guide you through five minute strength-training workouts. For a quick trunk rotation exercise, you’d place the tool between your left hand and right shoulder then rotate your torso to the left as you push your palm into your right. Each rep would be counted in the app along with an analysis of your strength performance during the activity. These resistance-based workouts can be done on an airplane, in the office or at home—helping you to stay active and maybe even help your golf game, too.
