SOLE SISTER

Adidas knows that from a

physiological point of view, women

and men have completely different

feet, hence why it created the Adidas

Ultraboost 22 running shoes (£165,

adidas.co.uk), designed specifically

for women. Scanning 1.2 million feet,

Adidas fine-tuned the last used to

create the shoes to offer a narrower

heel pocket, shallower forefoot profile

and lower instep area. Better still, the

newly refined outsole helps you say

goodbye to overpronation.

GET YOUR BREATH BACK

Airofit PRO can improve lung capacity in just 10 minutes a day

Mark our words: breathing exercises and

lung training will be the new buzzwords in

fitness circles in 2022. More and more

studies show how important it is to

breathe properly and train your lungs

frequently – especially for older people –

and how much it can improve life quality.

The Airofit PRO (£329, airofit.com) is a

small breathing device that controls and

measures how much air enters and leaves

your lungs. There are two dials at each

side, controlling the amount of air the

Airofit PRO lets in and out. All you have to

do is set the dials, pop the rubber piece in

your mouth and follow the instructions in

the Airofit app.

In the app, you’ll find the exercises and

instructions on how to perform them. This

is also where you set your goals – general

wellbeing or sport – and the app will

recommend daily workouts accordingly.

These lung workouts can help you

increase respiratory strength, anaerobic

threshold, and more.

ECHELON STRIDE

This dinky treadmill folds

up tidily with the press of a

button. Once folded, it’s only

26cm thick, and you can store

it upright or lie it down to

slide it under the bed, making

it a great option if you can

only fit it in a small room.
