ALT-1 Gift Ideas for Fitness Enthusiasts
It’s better to give than to receive, but sometimes giving can be a bit of a puzzle. When Christmas, a birthday or an anniversary is around the corner it’s nice to surprise a family member or friend with a little token of your love, but what, what would that person like to receive? If that special someone is into fitness, half of the puzzle has fallen into place. Why not give something fitness related?
Membership
If the fitness enthusiast in your life has been talking about going to the gym but is a bit financially strapped, a gym membership might be a good idea. Whether the person likes aerobics, weight lifting or spinning classes, a membership is sure to be appreciated.
Personal Trainer
If the fitness enthusiast in your life already belongs to a gym, you could surprise him with a couple of sessions with a personal trainer. Personal trainers charge different fees, so you might want to shop around. Keep in mind though that having a personal trainer is not for everyone, some people are perfectly happy exercising in a group.
Kettlebells
If the fitness enthusiast in your life has been working out with dumbbells, consider giving him a pair of kettlebells and a video on how to use them. Kettlebells come in different weights, so be sure to pick the right ones or have an exchange option.http://tv.kettleworx.com/
Heart Rate Monitor
If your fitness enthusiast still checks his heart rate with his fingers you might want to introduce him to something a bit more up to date such as a heart rate monitor. There are monitors that other than counting heart beats also count calories and speed.http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/
Workout Towel
For a not so pricy gift you could consider a workout towel. Exercising is a sweaty business and everyone needs a towel to mop up perspiration or dry off after a refreshing shower. Any towel might do, but a workout towel is so much more professional.http://www.towelsoutlet.com
Exercise Mat
Someone who does floor exercises needs a mat to stay safe and comfortable. But did you know that there are different kinds of exercise mats? There are interlocking mat tiles to cover an entire floor and there are various single mats. There are regular folding mats, deluxe folding mats and roll up mats. There are personal, gym, and treadmill mats. They’re worth looking into.http://www.greatmats.com
Thorlos Experia Socks
Few people are thrilled to receive socks, but Thorlos Experia Socks are different. Experia socks are designed for fitness enthusiasts, such as walkers, hikers, cyclist and gym visitors. They come in wool or silk and are cushioned at the heel and balls of the feet for comfort.http://www.thorlo.com/experia-socks.php
Camelback Water Bottle
If you think a water bottle is a bit of a lame gift, just wait until your fitness enthusiast gets thirsty, needs a drink and finds a water bottle. Not just any bottle, but a Camelback water bottle. He is going to praise you to the stars for your thoughtfulness. They are environmentally friendly, easy to carry, spill proof and dishwasher safe.http://www.camelbak.com
