Home office, home schooling, home shopping, home gym exercise - even 2 months after the first lockdown, life in Germany is still relatively far from normal. Thanks to the easing of measures to combat the Corona pandemic, everyday life is very gradually returning. Germans' buying behavior has also changed during the crisis - fitness equipment is currently even more popular than usual.
Which products are particularly popular?
The trampoline is particularly popular - no wonder. Without school and kindergarten, it is not at all easy to keep children physically active. However, it doesn't have to be a children's trampoline - exercise is also good for adults, with a fitness trampoline the whole family can let off steam!
The cross trainer and the treadmill are also among the winners in the crisis - the desire to stay physically fit even without a gym is generally great. Cardio training strengthens the cardiovascular system and has many other positive effects on the human body. With the crosstrainer , an effective full-body workout is possible, and the device is absolutely gentle on the joints.
Passionate runners are more likely to get their money's worth with the treadmill. Some modern devices do not need electricity at all, they are driven by the movement of the user and thus enable an authentic running experience without the need to change the running speed.
Sport strengthens the immune system
Not only cardio training is good for your health. Strength training stimulates the immune system via myokines. The body produces more natural killer cells (NK cells) and can thus defend itself better against infections.
Moderate strength training is a perfect complement to cardio training, the body is toned and shaped, the muscles developed and health and immune system strengthened.
At home, small equipment such as dumbbells or accessories for bodyweight training are perfect: easy to store, quickly at hand and insanely effective.
