Best Memorial Day deals on fitness and sports equipment
The yoga mat is one of the most versatile pieces of wellness and fitness equipment you can buy. It can take some of the pain out of floor workouts and also provide a comfortable, distinct space for meditation and yoga practices.
The Manduka PROlite yoga mat, in particular, is a great option for those who practice yoga often. It was deemed best overall on CNET's list of yoga mats for its lightweight feel, stability and sweat resistance. While there are more affordable options on the list, the PROlite is $81 this Memorial Day -- down from its usual $108 -- so it's a good time to buy if you've been looking to give your practice a boost. (Something to keep in mind: only certain colors are on sale. But you still get your pick between a variety of some fun ones.)
The BowFlex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells have been on sale for a little while, but we're including them in the Memorial Day roundup because their current $400 price on Amazon will save you $150 on their regular price. Plus, they were named the best overall adjustable dumbbells by CNET's Giselle Castro-Sloboda.
Adjustable dumbbells are a practical piece of home gym equipment for those with limited space who want to prioritize strength training. These SelectTech 552 dumbbells are easy to adjust and have a maximum weight of 52.5 pounds. They also come with a storage tray.
If you've been looking to hit the waters this summer with a stand-up paddle board, consider this one from Isle, the Pioneer 2. It's on sale for $395 -- a savings of $300.
CNET named the Pioneer 2 the best inflatable paddle board thanks, in part, to its speed, balance and padding material. While paddle boarding isn't exactly an inexpensive outdoor sport to get started with, Isle's current discount puts it under $500, which isn't the case for all quality stand-up paddle boards. Isle is also running a site-wide spring and Memorial Day sale on other products, if you want to compare water-sport goods.
They appear to have been on sale for a while at Amazon, but we're including these Elite core sliders because they're one of the most affordable items on this list at $8 and an easy way to step up your home workout routine.
CNET named workout sliders (also called gliders) one of the best budget-friendly pieces of fitness equipment for home use because of their versatility and the way they require you to use your own strength to incorporate them into your movements. You can use them for core work, low-impact work and more.
If you're in the market for weightlifting shoes, you can get a discount on Adidas Powerlift 5 Weightlifting Shoes this Memorial Day. Through Amazon, they're currently down to $88. The Powerlift 5 shoe landed on CNET's best weightlifting shoes list.
Best Memorial Day deals to keep you hydrated and powered up
Hydration is the name of the game, and Hydro Flask is the name of a pretty popular water bottle that's made itself useful for athletes and those on the go. Right now, Hydro Flask is running a 25% off sale with discounts on tumblers, bottles and more.
This includes the 24-ounce Lightweight Wide Mouth Trail Series bottle, which CNET named as being the best water bottle for hiking. It's currently down to about $34 from its regular $45.
The Impact Whey Isolate from Myprotein is one of our favorite protein powders right now. The brand has dubbed it one of the "purest protein powders" available, and it's currently on sale. The site is offering 45% off its entire site right now.
If you need to stay hydrated on shorter hikes or other outdoor adventures but don't always want to lug around a heavy backpack, Cotopaxi's Lagos hip pack might work for you. This pack isn't just made to be strapped to your hip, it's also pretty hip with its bright and funky colorways. And it's 50% off.
The Lagos 5L hydration hip pack comes highly recommended by our managing editor, Russell Holly, who has done extensive testing on fitness gear and equipment over the years.
Best Memorial Day deals on sunscreen
Sunscreen is a crucial part of many people's skin care routine, but not all sunscreens are created equally, including those that go on the face.
EltaMD UV Clear sunscreen was named best overall facial sunscreen by CNET's Caroline Igo, and it's currently 20% off at Dermstore when you use the code SUN at checkout. This sunscreen gives broad-spectrum protection (a necessity when looking for a sunscreen), has an SPF of 46 and is made with micronized zinc oxide. It also contains niacinamide, which may help reduce the appearance of blemishes or discoloration.
Supergoop is known for its Unseen Sunscreen, an SPF 40, broad-spectrum protection formula that's currently 20% off on Supergoop's website, along with other products from the company during its sitewide sale.
Unseen was named best overall sunscreen for people with dark skin, thanks to its clear, gel-like texture, which absorbs quickly and doesn't leave as much of a residue as other sunscreens often do. If you want to spring for a little bit more glow, Supergoop also makes a Glow Screen product, a primer with SPF 40 that comes in four different shades.
Aveeno's sunscreen was tested and ranked as the best drugstore sunscreen around. Aveeno Protect and Hydrate is lightweight and melts nicely into the skin, leaving a soft, natural finish. If you're on a budget, you can snag this sunscreen for just $9, which is $8 off its original price.
Best Memorial Day deals on personal care products
If you want to use a little less elbow grease while brushing your teeth the recommended two times a day, an electric toothbrush is a natural next step.
The Philips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush is on sale now for $10 cheaper than it normally is. While there are more high-end toothbrushes out there, the Philips One landed on CNET's list of best electric toothbrushes because of its gentle work, lightweight feel and overall sleek design.
Oui the People has made it on our list of best Black-owned beauty brands, and its razor is one of the main reasons for that. The rose gold single-blade razor is perfect for sensitive skin. And right now, you can grab one for yourself at 10% off.
This bag was chosen as one of the best travel gifts. It's perfect for packing all your essentials while on the go or hitting the gym. It's also on sale for less than $25.
