Christmas is just around the corner, and you know what that means: Christmas presents! It's the time of year when you rack your brain to think of what to get others, just as they're trying to figure out what to get for you.
Why not fill your Christmas wish list with fitness gifts, things that will help to keep your fitness efforts on track? Here are a few of the best fitness gifts for this holiday season.
Fitness Tracker
With a fitness tracker, you can count steps, monitor daily calories burned, track your heart rate, log your workout performance, and so much more! Fitness trackers are a stylish reminder that you need to be healthy, and they will help you keep up with your New Year's fitness resolutions.
The FitBit Charge 2 is one of the top-rated fitness trackers, with a few smartwatch capabilities (calendar, email and text notifications, and alarm clock) paired with classic fitness tracking metrics (heart rate, steps, calories, etc.) to make the perfect fitness tool!
Yoga Mat
Whether you practice Yoga regularly or just need somewhere comfortable for a stretching/flexibility workout, a Yoga mat is a must-have piece of home gym equipment. You'll find a new Yoga mat is the gift that'll keep giving for years to come.
Balance From has an extra-thick Yoga mat that will be perfect for a stretching pad, but the 1/2" thickness makes it ideal for more active types of Yoga as well. The extra-long mat is well-suited for taller people, and the high-density foam will be very comfortable and provide awesome cushioning for your joints.
Workout Clothing
They say "dress for the job you want," so why not dress like you want the job of "bad-ass fit man/woman"? Wearing exercise clothes will help you to prioritize your workout and gym time. If you can look stylish while doing so, all the better!
ODODOS has a beautiful pair of high-waisted exercise pants for women that are suitable for yoga, your daily run, or a hardcore gym workout. The pants come with a pocket for your phone, wallet, or keys, and they're wonderfully comfortable.
Resistance Bands
To kick your workout up a notch, why not try resistance bands?
Resistance bands increase the difficulty of any exercise, and they can enhance muscle hypertrophy by adding an extra endurance component to your classic muscle-building moves. They're also portable, making them perfect to help you exercise on the go.
FitSimplify has a great set of five resistance bands, made of durable Thermoplastic Elastomer that is extra light and ideal for packing into a gym bag or carry-on suitcase. They're designed for any Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, or bodyweight workout, and will be just what you need for hitting the workouts hard while traveling.
Massager/Foam Roller
Joint mobility and flexibility are so important! Tight connective tissue can throw off your movement, leading to a higher risk of injuries and less effective muscle recruitment during your exercises. Foam rollers and massagers will give you that deep tissue massage required to limber up.
RumbleRoller's Beastie Bar is an epic tool to use for tight joints, thanks to the 60 high-profile bumps on the two "beastie" massagers. It's your classic stick-type massager that doubles as a foam roller to work on your hips and spine. You'll work out the kinks in your muscles in no time.
These fitness gifts are just what you need to help you kick your fitness efforts up a notch. By the time New Year's rolls around, you'll be ready to hit those exercise resolutions like a boss!
