Thursday, December 6, 2007 Holiday Fitness Gifts

If you have happened upon this blog because you have decided to give someone the gift of fitness, here are 5 ways you can do that. If you are looking for something to get for yourself, you are also in the right place. If you or someone you know is looking to make a positive lifestyle change then giving a gift of fitness can be an excellent way to do it.

  1. Gift certificate for healthy activities - Gift certificates have become "in" again when it comes to giving gifts. It doesn't have to be expensive, maybe just one or two fitness classes, a little bit towards exercise equipment, and other activities such as a day of rock climbing or a swimming class. They give the person a little versatility in their exercise routine, and may get them motivated to find something new to try!
  2. Fitness tools - Maybe you have a friend who just started walking, you can get them a pedometer, a heart rate monitor, or a biofeedback device. They enable the person to check their progress, and monitor how they improve. Make sure you get a good model that you have researched. You don't want to get them a dud gift.
  3. Fitness apparel - The fact of the matter is, when you look good you feel good. Who wants to work out in the same sweats day after day? Get them a new pair of fitness shoes, or brand new top of the line athletic apparel. The workout suits that are on the market now are sleek and beautiful and can really add a little zing to their workout.
  4. Personal training sessions - This is a great gift for the beginning exerciser. Just a few sessions won't cost too much and they will get an idea of where they need to start, and what kind of exercise will help them with their particular weight loss challenge. It helps them to start a routine, and really motivates them to get going.
  5. Gym membership - Many people want a gym membership, but don't often have the money to buy it. Also, they may have the money but may be scared that they won't use it so it may not be worth it. However, if you give it as a gift they will feel like they can go on their time, and they won't worry that they aren't using it enough. Chances are they will feel more comfortable and go more often! It is even better if you get one for yourself and one for them - that way you both can go and workout together.
