Great Fitness Gifts

If someone on your holiday shopping list is committed to a healthier lifestyle, why not get a gift that supports their passion for fitness?

Here are some gifts sure to impress your fitness fanatic friends and family.

FitBit

The FitBit is a digital tracker you wear on your wrist or waist that helps you stay focused on your health and fitness goals.

The Zip tracks steps, distance and calories burned and syncs to a computer or smart phone. You wear it all day and at the end of the day, it lets you know how well you did to meet your goals.

The Force is worn on your wrist and tracks everything from calories burned to sleep. It also wakes you with a vibrating alarm.

There are other FitBit products – all are easy to use to help you stay on track.

Yoga Mat

Yoga mats are extremely versatile. They can be used for yoga, but also stretching and weight training. Yoga mats come in trendy colors, and are the perfect accessory to a workout at home or at the gym.

iPhone/Smart Phone Case

iPhone and smart phone cases designed for the active are great for friends and family who work out on the go. Designed to go around an arm, they keep communication – and tunes – close so the workout goes smooth.  

Bonus: Fitness apps for the phone are also a great way to stay focused on goals. Getting them on the phone and close with an armband is another way to track the workout and calories burned.

Digital Scale

It seems like digital scales are getting smarter and more precise every year. Some scales provide measurements for hydration, BMI and estimated fat percentage – and others tell weight down a tenth of a pound. Weighing in important for health, and scales are always a great gift for those focused on their healthier lifestyles. Our recommendation—weigh yourself no more than once per week to make sure that you’re staying on track!

A Workout DVD

This time of year can be tough when it comes to exercising outdoors. Changing up a routine with a workout DVD can be just what someone needs to keep working out when it’s too cold to head outdoors.
