- BY SUN REPORTER

Gifting is the norm during the festive season. It does not have to be a set of cutlery or a suit. There are some whose resolution for 2023 is to work out more and keep fit. A gift in line with that will remind them that their resolution is valid and there are friends out them cheering them and Sun health columnist,Fitness Trainer , Boipelo Segokgo shares perfect gifting ideas;

Journal/workout planner

A fitness journal will help keep one on track and make sure they see progress. While this may not be the most glamorous subject, it’s important to keep a record of what you doing and how you feel about it, because it will be amazing to look back six months later and see how much progress you have made.

Slimming belt

If workouts alone have not helped regarding reducing belly fat, she suggests one get their loved one a slimming belt. The belt will work well alongside exercise to help them achieve their goals. It also has heat diffusion to aid blood circulatio­n with automatic and manual controls to help you use it.

Gym membership

For one that has always desired to keep fit but never actually gone through with it, gym membership is great. It will be great for them to get informatio­n, consultati­ons and experience­s from the instructor­s. The cost of the voucher will depend on the gym you choose. She also advises one to buy a gym attire for their loved one while at it. These are used daily whether one goes to the gym or exercises from home. These also act as motivation because a good gym outfit will get one in the mood to go out and exercise.

Workout gloves

These are great as they help one to avoid hand bruises when working out.

Tummy trimmer

Belly fat is one thing that most women are fighting against. That is not to say that men are healthy with bulging tummies. For that friend with the need to lose belly fat, a tummy trimmer is ideal.

Sneakers and Gym bag

Segokgo believes that these are a great start-up accessory for one starting out on the exercise journey. Good shoes can lessen the impact of your step and cushion the foot from heavy landings. While at it, add a gym bag so they can carry their property to and from the gym convenient­ly.

Skipping Rope and Dumb bells

Going to the gym is not always possible. However, with a rope one can get your body in shape without any excuses. For body building exercises without necessaril­y going to the gym, she suggests gifting someone with dumbbells. For those days when one is caught up for one reason or another, these will come in handy to help them keep up with their workout regimen.

Pedometre

It is a device, usually portable and electronic that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person’s hands or hips. They are used by sports and physical enthusiast­s, and can be a motivation tools for people wanting to increase their physical activity. It will also count calorie consumptio­n, helping you adjust your diet menu. This is a great gift for adults and children alike because they are usually made of ABS plastic hence comfortabl­e and lightweigh­t to wear.
