What to buy first for home fitness

For most beginners, start with a supportive yoga mat, a pair of adjustable dumbbells, and resistance bands. This trio covers mobility, strength, and conditioning without taking up space. For treadmills, check user weight rating, deck size, and motor warranty—not just top speed.

Tip: many popular sizes/colors go out of stock during New Year—if you see a fair price with easy returns, don’t wait too long.

Appliances that actually save time (and which to skip)

If you cook daily, an air fryer (with shake reminder) and a 750W mixer-grinder are high ROI. For pressure cookers, triply stainless steel lasts longer than single-ply with better heat distribution. Avoid mega-bundles with too many plastic accessories—buy core tools and upgrade slowly. Always check service availability in your city before ordering.

• Look for ISI/BIS, food-grade steel, and warranty of 2–5 years on motors.
• Induction cooktops: prefer 1600–2000W with auto-shutoff and Indian preset menus.
• Coffee: entry espresso machines need descaling; consider Moka/pour-over for simplicity.
