4 Interesting Gift Ideas for the Fitness Fanatic in Your Life

Health & Medical Articles

Can't figure out what to get your loved one for an upcoming special occasion that will satisfy their fitness fanaticism? Here are a few interesting ideas to consider:

A Wilderness Vacation

Consider surprising your loved one with a wilderness getaway that will give them an opportunity to challenge their fitness levels while at the same time mentally unwinding and letting go of some pent-up stress.

Choose a location out of town, out of state, or even out of the country where your loved one has never been before and schedule an all-inclusive wilderness vacation that includes forest hikes, animal watching, hands-on workshops, and other physical activities they can enjoy while there. Make sure their vacation gives them plenty of personal downtime too, so they can work toward custom physical challenges or relax when they see fit.

An Adventure Pack

If for some reason you can't book a wilderness vacation for your loved one, you can always create an adventure pack to surprise them with that encourages them to get outside and explore. Buy a hiking backpack that's big enough to hold items for a week's camping trip, and fill it with a variety of accessories such as:

  • Ankle and wrist weights that can be used during hikes and while playing sports for extra resistance
  • A portable volleyball kit that can be set up at a park, while camping, or even in the backyard
  • A compass that features a corkscrew, fork, and spoon that retracts from it to aid in outdoor adventures
  • A stainless-steel water bottle and a solar stove so meals can easily be made while on the go
  • An inflatable kayak that can be utilized on a lake, in a mild river, or in a large swimming pool

The idea is to create an adventure pack full of items that your loved one would enjoy using on a regular basis, and to ensure that the pack can be conveniently transported in a car or on the back.

Fitness Club Sample Certificates

If your loved one isn't yet committed to attending a specific fitness club or they're thinking about making a switch, surprise them with a few gift certificates good for a 30 to 90-day membership at a few different clubs in your area. Some clubs have certain requirements for membership, in which case you'll need to make sure your loved one meets them before getting them a gift certificate or it may go unused. Other fitness clubs require at least one month's membership fee for access.

Yet others will provide you with temporary memberships to give your loved one at a discounted rate in hopes of gaining your loved one as a long-time customer. No matter what types of memberships you decide to buy your loved one, it's important to ensure that you can get your money back if the memberships aren't used for any reason to protect your investment.

A Whole-Body Vibration Machine

Make it easier for your loved one to stay fit in the comfort of their own home by surprising them with a vibration body machine. These machines work by rapidly vibrating, which transmits certain energies to the body that force the muscles to relax and contract several times in any given minute.

Fitness enthusiasts typically use whole-body vibration machines to maintain healthy weight levels, improve blood flow, increase strength, and even reduce stress levels. When used correctly, the machines can even help eradicate back pain and minimize bone loss. Your loved one can use their new whole-body vibration machine to support their overall fitness and health regimen that's already in place.

These gift ideas are sure to impress your loved one and support their love for fitness through outdoor adventures, fitness club visits, and home fitness equipment.

Tips for Living a Great Life with Chronic Illness

I was always very healthy throughout my childhood, but when I became a teenager, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Thankfully, I had the support of my loving family to help keep me upbeat during a time that could have led to me experiencing the depression that some do after they first learn they will have an illness for life. I am very grateful for the advice I have gotten throughout my life, so I decided to create a blog where I can share all of the advice that has helped me live a happy, healthy life, despite having a chronic illness. Since I am on a medication that suppresses my immune system, I have also studied up on many other illnesses and tips for avoiding them and treating them. I plan to post health tips for people of a variety of ages and suffering with various illnesses!
