The Perfect Holiday Gifts for the Fitness Buff
It’s that time of year, and although you may have been able to do most of your shopping on Black Friday, I’m sure there are still a few stocking stuffers you need and a few picky peeps to buy for on your list. So let’s get down to brass tacks and find out the season's hottest items that will have the fitness buffs on your list drooling.
ToeSox Ankle Socks.I don’t know about you, but my feet inevitably start slipping and sliding when I’ve worked up a sweat during yoga class. Particularly for hot room yoga fanatics, these ToeSox with a no-slip grip are a lifesaver.
Sore Today, Strong Tomorrow Water Bottle. I love all of the adorable sayings on these clever water bottles by Blogilates, but this one is by far my favorite.
Cordless Jump Rope. Whenever I attempt to jump rope, I always end up slapping myself in the face or ankles. It’s embarrassing, I know. This ingenious cordless jump rope tracks time, calories, and reps, without worrying about space or inconveniencing others.
Dr. Hot and Dr. Cool Packs. Ahhh...these are a lifesaver for sore muscles, cramps, and post-race recovery. Put ‘em in the freezer or boil them, depending on your needs, and you’ll be feeling better in no time!
SweatyBands. These adorable workout bands come in practically every style you could dream of, so whether you’re shopping for your tween, soccer-playing granddaughter or your elderly, speed-walking grannie, there’s a style for every lady on your list!
Everlast Women's ProTex2 Training Gloves. Got some feminine fury to release? These pink boxing gloves let you get your rage out...in style!
iFit Classic Fitness Tracker. You can’t imagine we’d leave this off the list, do you? This attractive, stylish wearable lets you secretly track your fitness stats and tells analog time. Clever, isn’t it?
Alias Office Chrome Barbell. If you know a fitness buff that’s worried about being too sedentary at work, this subtle barbell looks like a desk decoration, but acts as an easy way to get in some quick reps throughout the workday.
Anthropologie Magic Carpet Yoga Mat. Pretend to be Jasmine while you’re stretching and posing on this beautiful mat. It’ll take your yoga to a whole new level...and a whole new world!
Erica Sara Run Necklace. For the runner on your list, here’s a lovely little trinket that allows them to express their love of the sport, and lets them know you’re thinking about them.
Brooks Adapt Running Gloves. These cushy mittens are reflective, waterproof, wind-resistant, and have a detachable light! Perfect for winter sports and a stocking stuffer!
Gaiam Everything Fits Gym Bag. This bag is an amazing gift for any fitness fanatic. It even has a vented pocket so you can store your shoes or wet clothes, and an external bungee cord for storing your yoga mat.
So good luck with all of your holiday shopping this season, and be sure to pick something up for yourself, too!
