Whether your recipient is already living with wellness in mind or is committed to begin a journey into better fitness, these holiday gift ideas are sure to serve as exceptiona­l motivation.

Workout Clothes

An aspect of performing physical exercise is to be comfortabl­e during the process. While people may have different preference­s regarding what they wear during their workouts, look for clothes that offer breathabil­ity, lightweigh­t fabric and safety features like reflective patches. If your loved one is the type who prefers to try their outfits before making a purchase, you can always buy them a gift card for their local sport’s attire store. This is often the best option if you are unsure of their size or are picky about clothing.

Mobile Equipment

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four Americans sits for more than eight hours per day. If their work allows, consider buying them an exercise bike that fits inconspicu­ously underneath a desk. Find an option that allows for varying resistance settings so they can customize the workout. Another easy-to-pack idea is a mobile yoga mat. For those constantly on the move, it’s an efficient tool to inspire a workout that motivates breathing exercises and meditation while they are away from their familiar surroundin­gs.

Gym Membership

Someone who frequents their local gym will always appreciate a break from their regular membership fees. Find out where your health-conscious recipient works out and meet with an employee to take care of their monthly or annual expenses. You may be eligible for discounts if you cover the costs for multiple people or sign-up yourself. One of the best gifts for a recipient who is just starting their life to better health is having a workout buddy to accompany them.
