2017 Fitness Gift Guide for Women Who Love to Sweat
You can’t burn calories for her, but you can give her the ultimate fitness gift. Here are a few ideas for the woman in your life who loves to workout.
AfterShockz Bluetooth Headphones
These bone conduction wireless headphones keep the beats going mile after mile, while still letting in sounds of cars and other ambient noises. The Bluez 2S model is available on Amazon for $79.95.
2019 Update: While I still own and love these headphones, AfterShockz has come out with several new models worth looking at. These ones come in a pretty ocean blue color
32-Ounce Hydro Flask
Help her stay hydrated with a water bottle that keeps liquids cold for hours. The 32-ounce bottle is just the right size for someone who drinks a lot of water but still wants ease of transport. Available at Hydroflask.com starting at $24.95 for a 12 oz.
Personal Training
Give the gift of good health this Christmas! The lady in your life will have a blast training at my Carlsbad studio, and she'll enjoy all the endorphins and weight loss that go with it! Go here to purchase.
Bath Salts
A huge relief for tired muscles! Add some Epsom salt for added benefit. I recently fell in love with Body Bliss, a natural skincare company from Sedona. Their Lavender & Blue Chamomile Soothing Salt Soak smells amazing as is available on the Body Bliss website.
Massage
A good massage with cupping can relieve the tight muscles and adhesions that build up during exercise. It's also extremely relaxing and a truly indulgent gift! Check out my friend Karen if you live in North County San Diego. Her number is (858) 465-0484.
Fitness Magazine Subscription
I personally love Oxygen, which celebrates strong women and features great strength workouts. Womens Running and Paleo Magazine are solid options, too, depending on her interest.
Graced by Grit Clothing
Graced by Grit was started by two women entrepreneurs here in San Diego County. The Solana Beach-based company specializes in high-quality, functional athletic wear that empowers women and keep them safe. See all their styles and order online at GracedByGrit.com.
2019 Update: Graced by Grit no longer exists! You can find some great options instead at Jolyn or, if you’re on a budget, Old Navy.
Ninja Blender
Cheaper than a Vitamix blender, and just as good for protein shakes. Basic models start at $79.99 on Amazon. Throw in a container of chocolate or vanilla protein powder for an even more amazing gift.
Sol and Selene Backpack
These super cute, sporty backpacks are a fun alternative to bulky gym bags. The Infinity Marble Backpack is $100 on Amazon and comes in both black and white. It even has a laundry bag so she store her dirty clothes or shoes.
2019 Update: This particular bag is sold out. But to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of this brand any more. I purchased one of their bags and it started falling apart within a couple months! I do not currently have a favorite fitness bag brand.
