Holiday Fit Gifts
December 10th, 2009 by Caroline MayesNeed a few holiday gift ideas for those fitness-minded friends and loved ones?
Stuff stockings with resistance bands, jump ropes, exercise DVDs, and cute sweat bands, athletic socks, and water bottles. You could include a few sessions with a personal trainer, or gift certificates to a new yoga, pilates, or martial arts studio.
Subscriptions to fitness, yoga, and healthy eating magazines are also thoughtful and inexpensive gift ideas, and your friends will think of you each month when they receive a new issue.
