Top gifts for the active women in your life

Whether she’s into running, cycling, yoga, or skiing, here are a few great gifts ideas that will be sure to make a fitness conscious woman happy when it appears under the tree.

1) A fitness tracker

With sleek designs, the ability to be worn anywhere, bright colours and the latest technology, fitness trackers are the newest in “fit gear”. It can be a great gift for someone who likes numbers. They can track hours slept, steps taken, calories in vs calories out, and miles travelled out just to give you a few ideas. The price points and features offered can run the gamut so it’s best to do your research if you plan on hiding a tracker under the tree.

2) A funky pair of leggings

A funky pair of leggings can be taken from the gym, running trials or yoga studio to coffee or running errands afterwards. The cooler the pattern the better! It’s easy to find patterned compression tights (similar to leggings, but made for the runner) or yoga leggings nowadays with many shops and online stores carrying quite a few patterns and colours. Wearing a cool pair of leggings always puts me in a good mood for a workout!

3) A new gym tote

Having a gym bag or tote to help you lug all your workout gear is important. Having a great looking and stylish one is a luxury! Who would love being surprised on Christmas morning with a brand new pretty bag that looks nice enough it can be carried with you all day, making it easier to get that workout in whenever possible.

4) A gift card to a new workout class

Do you know someone who is always going to the same fitness or yoga class, or is an avid runner? Do you think they are bit set in their ways when it comes to working out? Why not shake things up a bit for them and give them the gift of trying out a brand new fitness class. Many fitness classes and gyms now offer gift card options. What a better way to spend time with someone then being adventurous taking a new class and getting fit together. It would be a wonderful healthy way to kick off the New Year.

5) A pair of custom workout shoes

Get the gift of individuality. Many fitness shoe websites are now offering a fun and unique gift. It lets the receiver choose the style and their favourite colour combination to create their one-of-a-kind shoe. They will be able to choose from a variety of patterns, colours and styles to create a completely unique pair of shoes that’s as unique as they are.

6) A new workout tank

Not sure what to give a fitness minded friend on your list? Brand new workout clothes always give me more motivation to get out there and get a workout in. Workout tanks can also be found at many different price points and come in an unlimited amount of patterns styles and colours to suit anyone’s tastes.

7) Fitness ear buds

Music can be a great motivator to some while they are working out, it can make time pass faster and can also be a bit of a distraction. Thank goodness there are now ear buds that are designed specifically with fitness in mind and are being made so that they stay put and don’t slip around when your ears get sweaty while working out.
