This Swing Stepper (£24.99) is perfect for those wanting to work the entire lower body post after an entire Christmas on the couch. The at-home device is equipped with a timer, calorie and steps counter to track your progress – the same as the one in the gym would.

Look good, feel good right? Fitness gear needn’t be frumpy as Aldi’s workout wear proves. These Fitness Capri Leggings are £8.99, Fitness Sports Bra, £5.99, and Fitness Vest, £5.99.

Relax and recover with Aldi’s Yoga Mat, also in the collection at just £4.99. Or alleviate post-workout pains with the Foam Roller, £5.49.

If you do decide to join the gym rather than do-it-yourself then you'll be needing a cool gym bag – and what could be better than a pun-tastic one? 'Gym and tonic' is our bag of choice. But we rather love the other design that reminds us to that we should love our gym at all times, not just January. The bags will set you bag a very reasonable £8.99 each.

There's another brand we won't mention that tracks your, ahem, fit bits! This Activity Sleep and Heart-rate Monitor is a fraction of the price at just £29.99, and keeps you on track with workout goals by monitoring daily activity, calorie consumption and distance covered. Just as with other brands, this device can even track your sleep status to ensure you're getting enough rest post-workout.

Also in the range to wear are Aldi’s Fitness Trainers (£11.99). The stylish design features lightweight Phylon cushioned soles and insoles to ensure maximum comfort and stability.
