It’s a new year, new you! As cliched as it sounds, January is the perfect month to try something new, so we’ve rounded up some of this month’s most interesting happenings in the world of fitness and beyond.

Escape Room
We picture the pitch meeting as follows: “What if Saw took place in an escape room?” We’d have green-lit the idea, too. The premise: six strangers are trapped in a room and must use their noggins to find clues to stay alive. (Not so) spoiler: They don’t all stay alive. Escape Room, starring Deborah Ann Woll (Daredevil), is in theaters now.

CES 2019
Sniffing for an excuse to escape the cold for the heat (and to lose a bunch of cash gambling) in Vegas? CES, the annual mega consumer electronics showcase, will do the trick. Along with the latest AI news and nerd-laden tech, you’ll find workout gadgets, such as headphones, trackers, and smart locks that you don’t really need but still kinda want.
Bose Sound Sport Free headphones have staying power—literally! The “Find My Buds” feature on the Bose Connect App removes the biggest gripe about true wireless headphones: “I’ll lose ’em.” The snug fit and five hours of play time are just two more reasons why these Bose buds kick serious ass.

Dry January
A 31-day booze break can aid sleep, weight loss, skin health, and immune function. The month-long breather can also help you develop a better relationship with alcohol for six months following your brush with teetotalism, according to an 800-person survey by the University of Sussex (England).
