Do you have that friend or family member who is very into self and health awareness? If you struggle to get them the perfect gift for Christmas or their birthday or even just a celebratory gift when they compete in their next marathon or Crossfit competition, look no further. Here you will find what to get for the active person in your life!

Having correctly fitting, appropriate gear with body mechanics and end goal in mind is absolutely necessary to get physically fit without causing yourself harm. Being cost consious as I am, I also like to pinch pennies when I can to make sure I provide for all the needs and still get quality. Therefore, I encourage you to look for quality as well as cost and function when you are shopping.

Necessities

There are a few things considered necessities when being physically active. These include products to maintain hydration and adequate footwear.

Hydration

One of the absolute most important aspects of health is hydration. Keeping yourself hydrated keeps every cell in your body working properly and makes you just feel better. There are many options for storing your water. Whether you need a versatile cup that doesn’t spill or leak or you need to carry abundant water with you for a long hike or run, we have you covered with several of our favorite options.

Footwear

Brooks makes amazingly comfortable shoes for running and working out. They have great arch support and last a long time. I have had several pairs over the years for both running and working in the hospital.

Asics makes another affordable supportive running shoe that has been around for generations. They have an expansive selection for various activity types.

Accessories/Gear

Activity Tracker: Everyone wants to keep up with what exercises they have done and even their accomplishments over time. A smart watch/activity tracker can do just that. Most have accompanying apps that link to your phone and you can keep up with all the details of your workouts, steps or even sleep (variable per type of tracker). GPS is also available on most for both a safety factor as well as knowing where you are going and where you have been!

Fitbit offers a huge selection of activity trackers with variable perks. Choose which one works best for you.

Garmin is another popular activity tracker with several options and price ranges to choose from.

Samsung also provides a state of the art smart watch with health capabilities.

Equipment

Resistance Bands are inexpensive home equipment that you can use in place of bulky weights to tone and strengthen. This particular set comes with tutorials, exercises with how to’s and a variety of resistance levels for a great price.

Kettle Bells of variable weights are a great way to customize a home workout.

Naztech earbuds are a cheaper alternative to airpods. I personally have these and have been very satisfied (especially since I paid less than half the cost)
