Holiday Gift Guide for Health Nuts and Fitness Gurus

That time of year is coming, the time when peace is in the air, all the gifts are bought and wrapped and put under the tree and no worries will be had. That sounds good, but the holidays are quite the opposite for most people. Gifts become anxiety, and the holidays pending make everything a little more stressing.

One solution is to know what to get for that special person. Knowledge is power and during the holidays everyone could use a little more help. One setback people have at times is finding that special gift for their fitness guru. Fitness fanatics are a special breed; they have a great deal of knowledge on fitness and will be very wary of any gadgets you try to pawn off as gifts. However with some special thought and care you can escape this holiday with a happy receiver of gifts that will make there feet and heart skips a beat. Here are some great suggestions to make the holidays run smoothly for your fitness nut.

1) Pedometer- these have been made especially popular by such diets as the “South Beach Diet” as helping people who do not exercise get the illusion of exercise. This is a good illusion though because it helps people see how little activity they get during the day. Most publishing’s suggest 10,000 steps a day, which is about five miles. It does not sound like much, but one would be surprised how many steps those elevators, cab rides, and desk job eliminate routine exercise from our lives. These can be found anywhere but be careful of the cheap ones. They may serve you well for a week or two, but as time goes on, the pedometer will start to be less and less accurate. Shoot for a $10 minimum.
