Fitness XMAS Gifts!


Give the Gift of Fitness This Holiday Season!

"The holiday season is stressful enough without adding 'find the perfect gift' to your to-do list.” Why not give the gift that will benefit friends and family for a lifetime? If you’re in the position of giving your loved ones a treadmill, then go for it! But seriously there are some great ideas for gifts to promote health and fitness this Holiday Season. These gifts are great and won’t break the bank.
 
1. How about a Gift Certificate from MarkOne Fitness Indoor Bootcamp? A new session will run all winter! Get off the boring cardio machine and have fun and lose weight at the same time!!!—send request to me

2. Jump Rope. Less than $15, jumping rope is a great approach to physical fitness and a fun, inexpensive gift option for kids or adults. A single 30-minute jump roping session at a moderate speed can burn between 200-300 calories a session. Great bang for your buck!

3. The Valslide, created by Valerie Waters, personal trainer to Hollywood’s elite was created with every level of fitness in mind. Valslide® makes lower body exercises smoother and easier on the body with more effective and immediate results. The simplicity of movement makes this exercise tool an obvious addition to any workout routine. My clients love the Valslide and it can travel anywhere. It’s a great gift and they will love it!  Click on the Valsides on this page.

4. Resistance Tubing. Less bulky than dumbbells or weight sets and easily stored, resistance tubes are a great way to strengthen and build muscle. The correct resistance will make a fun and effective workout. Check out SPRI, a leading resistance tubing manufacturer. www.spriproducts.com

5. Heart Rate Monitor. Perfect for a beginner or advanced exerciser. The idea behind a monitor is to accurately track exercise intensity. A heart rate monitor can help individuals know exactly where they’re at. They not only get the most out of their workouts they know when they’re pushing too hard. Some Heart Rate monitors require use of a chest strap make sure to review yours before buying.  Click on Perform Better on this page.

6. Personal Training Sessions. Working with a personal trainer has been shown to increase motivation as well as teach the most safe, efficient exercises. Personal training is the perfect gift for someone interested in starting a new fitness program looking to lose weight or updating their existing routine. Check your local area for certified Trainers and use references if possible.
