We’ve all seen the image: an elite athlete on a treadmill, strapped up in sensors and breathing through a face mask like they’re about to blast into space. Testing every possible biomarker is just part of the game if you’re seeking performance, but thanks to recent advancements, this tech is trickling down to amateurs, too. The latest tool to consider adding to your kit: a wearable hydration monitor. Unlike apps that remind you to take a sip of water every 15 minutes, hydration monitors work like a running watch, recording your pace to analyze in real-time the amount of fluids and electrolytes you need, and when.

If it feels like you’ve been noticing more body-weight workout content on your social feeds—the kinds of exercises your grandfather might have done in gym class—you’re not imagining things. Fitness, like fashion, is cyclical. As sure as skinny jeans will be cool again, you can bet that training styles like calisthenics will always come back around. But this isn’t about nostalgia.
