Bon Charge Infrared Sauna Blanket

Price: $699 (Black Friday Promotion: 25% off Nov. 13-Dec. 5)

Website: us.boncharge.com

Follow any fitness influencer and they’ll undoubtedly sing the praises of using an infrared sauna. Consistent use aids recovery from exercise, improves cardiovascular and immune system function, eases muscle tension, spurs metabolism and the list goes on. The downside is a traditional sauna is costly both in terms of price and space. This sauna blanket solves both issues while providing many of the same benefits. Just unroll it, plug it in, select your desired temperature and relax. It’s constructed with multiple layers of infrared heating and non-toxic cotton cushioning for a combination of deep penetrating heat and maximum comfort. The waterproof PVC makes it hygienic and easy to clean.

Master Athletics T40 Tennis Training Racquet

Price: $179

Website: master-athletics.com

If you struggle to consistently find the sweet spot on your racquet, this training aid is the cure. Just short of standard length, with a full-sized handle and an unstrung weight of 10.6 oz. / 300 grams, the T40 feels and plays like a conventional racquet. However, its 40 sq. in. head size makes centering the ball in the string bed much more of a challenge. Repeated use can help promote cleaner hitting and improved contact. Whether using it as a warm-up tool before a match, or to refine technique in practice, it’s a worthwhile addition to any racquet bag.

Sans Self-Cleaning Water Bottle

Price: $80

Website: livesans.com

The battery lasts 10 days with regular use (2-3 purification cycles per day); a USB-C cord is included for recharging purposes. The 17 oz. bottle has double-wall vacuum insulation to keep liquids hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours.

Therabody JetBoots Prime

After an intense workout or match, nothing feels better than a leg massage. Therabody’s JetBoots have a built-in pump system that provides uniform compression to both legs through four overlapping pressure chambers to accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness and boost circulation. The boots are fully wireless with no external hoses or battery packs. The unit has four intensity levels and four time settings with up to three hours of continuous treatment, and can be used while charging. Foldable and weighing just six pounds, the boots fit easily into the accompanying drawstring backpack for extreme portability.

WHOOP SportFlex Band

Price: $59

Website: whoop.com

You don’t need to look for very long or very far to find someone wearing a WHOOP. The hugely popular fitness tracker is designed to monitor physiological markers throughout the day that cause strain and its impact on the body’s readiness to perform. The strap sits on the wrist and collects a trove of data such as heart rate variability—time between each heartbeat—resting heart rate and sleep quality to grade your level of recovery. The new SportFlex band makes it easier and more comfortable to wear the tracker when exercising or playing sports like tennis. It’s made of 100% soft-touch silicone that’s waterproof, sweatproof, and stainproof. The adjustable closure makes it suitable for any wrist, so long as it’s carrying the WHOOP 4.0 model. Fve different colorways gives lots of fashion options.
