Well, here we are closing in on another year.  As such, you may be looking for the perfect gift for friends and loved ones.  Well, why not consider a fitness gift?  Once again this year I am listing my top picks.  Some are reoccurring from prior years, and others are making the list for the first time.  Still others have interesting enhancements in design and technology.  If you have a fitness enthusiast, the list contains items they will appreciate.

1. Smart Home Gym

The three most popular are Peloton, The Mirror, and Tonal. They each have a different emphasis.  Peloton is probably best for cardio, Tonal for resistance training, and the Mirror the most affordable.

2. Smartwatches

If they don’t already have one and are talking about anything fitness-related, these are useful, because they hold you accountable, telling you how much you are moving each day. If the Fitbit or i-watch is more than 3 or 4 years old, they would probably appreciate an upgrade.

3. Under the desk elliptical

If you just can’t seem to get enough time away from your desk, maybe this can help a bit. Please let me know if you try it.

4. Exercise card deck

Add a bit of spice to your workout by using a card deck. This can be a fun way to learn and exercise with friends or students depending on the deck.  The cards are inexpensive and can be great stocking stuffers.

5. Infrared sauna blanket

The temperature is not as hot as a sauna, they detox, can burn calories, and calm the body. They are much easier to clean than a sauna and take up less space for sure.

6. Rebounder

Bounce on a mini-trampoline without the harsh landing on your muscles and joints.

7. Athletic Wear

A stylish sporty outfit will be appreciated by those who enjoy working out and may want to run errands afterward. If you are not well known for picking out the right clothes, gift cards are appreciated.

8. Smart rope

The LED inside the rope allows it to display your stats mid-air.

9. Vibrating foam roller

Foam rollers help increase flexibility!

10. Jogging Stroller

Most runners with a baby would be happy to get one!

11. Massage stick

Another tool that can be used for self-massage and trigger pointing.

12. Bala Power Ring

Swap a dumbbell or a kettlebell for this weighted ring.

13. Hula hoop

Remember those? Well, now they even have weighted hoops.

14. Fitness socks

Another great stocking stuffer!

15. Athletic Shoes

Always appreciated, just include a gift receipt in case you don’t know the giftee’s exact size or taste!

16. Blender

I love my Ninja and use it constantly!

17. Fanny pack

YES, they are back!

18. Leg recovery system

For the intense athlete, you put your legs inside large massage mitts.

19. Hydration pack backpack

An avid hiker’s best friend.

20. Fitness Gear

Pretty self-explanatory, but anyone who is into fitness should LOVE some workout clothes or athletic apparel.

21. Gift cards for everything fitness!

It’s not a cop-out, gift cards are always the gift that keeps on giving!
