Case 1: Training
Building a toned and unabated body.

Nowadays, we hear people from all over the world blurting out, "It's getting harder and harder to go to the gym. Gyms with lots of equipment are great for training, but that doesn't mean you can't do it at home. However, if you have too much equipment, it will be a nuisance to keep in your home. So, why not introduce training items that can be easily handled at home?

Case 2: Fun
A good time is the key to good health.

The most difficult part of maintaining a healthy body is "keeping up" with training and management. Therefore, we feel that if it is fun, people will continue to do it. Some are enjoyable as a sport, while others are fun when they are linked to an app that allows users to visualize their training results and connect with other users. Whatever the case may be, something that is exciting should be the most effective for both the mind and the body.

SSK

However, inside the ball is a near-future baseball with built-in sensors that transmit data on six items, including pitch speed, rotation speed, and arm swing strength, to a smartphone. Enjoy catching the ball and improve your arm like a pro. Be careful not to hit the ball, as it is for pitching only.

Case 3: Daily
Simple things that accompany you in your daily life.

As mentioned above, "continuity," which is both important and difficult, is necessary for good health. From a different perspective, we believe that things that are easy to do and easy to keep up with, and things that fit in with the interior design, should be integrated into our daily habits. Here, we have gathered a list of exercises that are simple in movement and visuals. While training with a heavy load is important, it is also good to keep your body in shape at your own pace. Let's remind ourselves of the importance of daily accumulation.

Vivora

Vivola Balance Ball

The beautiful appearance fits the space.

Balance balls are no longer rare, as they are used in offices. However, few of them are designed to fit in with interiors. In this respect, the American company Vivola has thought things through. In particular, the "Leatherette" series, which uses synthetic leather, is more sweat-resistant than genuine leather and stylish in appearance.

PIE

Pie Smart Measure

Convenient next-generation measure that keeps track of numerical values.

Many people may notice that their body shape has changed as they age. This can be avoided by keeping a daily record of one's body size, but to be honest, it can be a hassle. If that's the case, then rely on a smart measuring tape that allows you to manage measurements for each part of your body with an app. That should be enough to stop the buildup of flesh around the waist before it starts to accumulate.

Case 4: Support
Supporting daily life and relieving fatigue.

With the proliferation of smartphones and other devices, today's society is becoming more and more tiring. It is essential to have items that soothe daily stress and provide comfort. In addition to specific effects such as relieving muscle fatigue and stiffness, items that relax the mind are also necessary. What we all want is different, but I feel that a sense of dependability and a sense of loveliness have a positive effect on our mental health.

Panasonic

Panasonic high-frequency therapy equipment

The feel of the product is as good as its naming just by putting it on.

If you have severe stiffness but are not good at going to physical therapy or stretching, try the "High Frequency Therapy Device Korikoran. It is the first home-use high-frequency therapy device certified as a medical device for improving stiffness, and when you apply it to your shoulders and back, the pain will ease before you know it. I think it's great that you can unwind without doing anything.
