Gift ideas for the fitness freak

We all want to keep up or workout motivation during a season notorious for indulging. Check out our list of perfect gift ideas for the fitness freak in your life.

Who knows, maybe these ideas will motivate you, too!

For the runner

With the changing seasons comes shorter and colder days. Send your runner on the road with protective clothing that will keep her warm and safe from traffic. Check out this New Balance 360 Reflective Cold Weather Jacket that is as stylish as it is protective. Use a ShopAtHome.com deal to get up to 3.5% cash back at New Balance.

For the weight lifter

They say no pain, no gain. But you can at least help soften the blow a little, right? Weight lifting gloves from Sports Authority are a great choice to protect against blisters often caused by lifting heavy weights. Plus, you’ll score bonus points for helping keep hands off of potentially germy gym weights.

For the at-home enthusiast

Who needs a gym when you have a DVD player? Ensure that the living room warrior in your life has plenty of possibilities to choose from. The workout DVDs available at Target and Walmart offer enough variety for a great starter collection.

As we’ve mentioned before, subscriptions to health and fitness magazines are also a great gift for anyone interested in making positive changes in their life. Check out the wide selection available through Magazines.com. It really is the gift that keeps on giving!

For the adventurer

Forget being trapped inside all winter – snowshoeing is a great way to get outside and enjoy the beauty of the season. Plus, snowshoeing is a really effective workout. Just one hour can burn up to 500 calories or more! Hit up online sales from stores like REI or even consider checking consignment shops for a gently used starter pair.
