It is the most wonderful time of the year again, personally my favorite holiday. A season full of bad eating, family gatherings and many, many gifts. Nothing will make your favorite gym rat happier than the new fitness toys to help them get back on track once the holidays are over. So we compiled a gift guide to point you in the right direction, for your holiday shopping.
One of the most complete fitness earbuds on the market, the power beats, were given an upgrade and made wireless. These come standard with the extremely high quality audio of any beats product. But they also with the over ear loop, to keep them from annoyingly falling out during a workout. In addition the earbuds are wireless so you don’t have to worry about cords getting caught in weight machines or being a tangled nuisance.
This is a perfect gift for the fitness geek in your life. This Fitbit smart watch offers heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, and a calorie counter among a variety of data that sheds light on one’s daily activity levels. The complimentary app allows the user to track their food and water intake and challenge friends in step competitions, read the full review . While you are at it, you might as well pick one up for yourself, to challenge your special someone in the weekly challenges.
An extremely versatile shoe, I have used this to run intermediate distances with no pain to my legs and I lift in them all the time. The wide and flat sole offer great stability in the gym when performing Olympic lifts. The fly knit technology that Nike offers on this iteration of the Free, is what really sets it apart from its competition. The fly knit technology creates an extremely comfortable shoe, that molds itself around the foot of the wearer. It is also a durable shoe that holds up to the abuse of an active lifestyle extremely well.
Kettle Bells are a great way to break up the sometimes monotonous exercise routines we grow accustomed to. The different grip and center of gravity, let the kettle bell challenge your body in ways that dumbbells can not. Perfect for someone who has a home gym or is looking to begin one.
A great gift item for someone who has wrist problems or is looking to prevent them in the future, also an inexpensive gift in a pricey industry. They come in a variety of styles and prices and are manufactured by a whole host of companies. I have personally used the Rogue wrist wraps and they are a quality product.
Jumping rope is a nice alternative to traditional cardio that can become a bore. Also jump ropes can be used to the keep the heart rate up during an active rest. Perfect for the fitness aficionado that spends a lot of time on the road as it can be easily packed in a suitcase. Just google fitness jump rope and a variety of options will appear, more or less any option will be as good as any other.
This would be a Christmas to remember if any avid lifter came downstairs to find this under the tree on Christmas morning. This package would include the Rogue Ohio Bar, 230lbs of bumper plates, and a squat and press stand. Simply throw in a cheap workout bench that could be found on craigslist and your favorite fitness nut could work any muscle they could dream of all in the comfort of their home.
