Have you made your holiday list, yet?” It can be easy to remember the items you want, but difficult to remember the items you need. Instinctively, the holiday season is a time to indulge and relax, but it is important to remain loyal to your body. Here are some of the best new exercise equipments that should be on your list.

1. Kettlebell: Although this exercise equipment has been around for years, in several different forms, it is gaining popularity in the states. This simple weight, can produce some of the most rigorous workouts around. Depending on the size (weight) of the kettlebell, the price can range from $30 to $150. It may seem a bit pricey, for a single piece of equipment, but the workouts involved are well worth it.

2. Freestanding Punching Bags: As with kettlebells, freestanding punching bags have been around for awhile, but with the emergence of mixed martial arts, it is gaining popularity. An individual can truly build incredible core muscles and cardio, through different combinations and exercises. Depending on the make or model, a freestanding punching bag can range from $180 to $350.

3. 3 in 1 Pull Up/Sit Up Bar: I would normally never endorse an item which has littered late night television with infomercials, but this product is great. Not only is this piece of equipment affordable (a rate anywhere between $20-$30), but it is a great accessible way to exercise. This bar enables individuals to participate in sit ups, pull ups, and innovative push ups.

4. P90X: The Tae Bo of today, is sweeping the nation with its intense 12 workouts, which aim for muscle confusion. The idea behind muscle confusion is to constantly stimulate the muscles in different areas, forcing the body to accelerate the results process. The program is unique, in that it also gives you a comprehensive nutrition plan to follow throughout the training. The P90X program is marked at 3 monthly payments of $39.95.
