10 Fitness Gift Ideas PDF Print E-mail

12/2/08

If you are like me, you may have a hard time thinking of gift ideas for your friends and family.

To try and help you out, I have created a list of 10 Fitness Gifts that you could give to the fitness buff in your family:

1) A Fitness or Nutrition Book-  Terrell Owens just came out with a new book that details his fitness routine.  Click this link for more info: http://www.blackvoices.com/blogs/2008/11/19/terrell-owens-fitness-book/

2) A Massage- If you know someone who works out regularly, then this would be a great gift Idea.  A massage will help relax their muscles and allow them to enjoy the holidays.

3) Golf Balls from a Driving Range-  Okay, your friend or family member may not like golf, but I am sure they have a sport that they enjoy participating in.  If they like golf, buy them a bucket of balls at the Blossom Driving Range off of Thousand Oaks (they gave us a gift certificate to give away at our Toys for Tots Boot Camp, which is why I am giving them a plug here).  If they don't like golf, do they like baseball?  Buy them a session at the batting cage.  Maybe they like running, buy them a pair of shoes, or a new stop watch!

4) A Cooking Lesson-  If your friend or family member is a true fitness buff, then nutrition is very important to them.  Buy them a cooking lesson.  Just go to yahoo.com and type in San Antonio Cooking Lessons and you will find a variety of locations that offer these services.

5) A Gift Card to Sporting Goods Store-  So a gift card may not seem like you put a lot of thought into it, but your fitness buff friend would really enjoy this gift.  Academy and Dick's are two huge sporting goods stores here in San Antonio and any fitness guru would love to have a gift card to one of these stores.

6) A Day at a Nearby State Park-  It is not expensive and it is a great way to spend a day with someone you enjoy.  Take them to a local state park and hike around.  You will be shocked at how hard to you work climbing around trails at Enchanted Rock or Guadalupe River State Park.

7) A Magazine Subscription- We all need something to read and there is nothing better to read about before going to bed than your favorite hobby.

8) A Month Supply of their Favorite Supplement- A multi-vitamin, fish oil, and protein can start adding up in cost pretty quick.  Send your friend a supply of their favorite supplement and you will make them very thankful for a friend like you!

9) Nike Plus System- This is a tool that connects to your ipod and tracks the distance you run and allows you to sinc songs up to certain parts of your run.  A fun tool that any fitness enthusiast would enjoy. For more info go here: http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/?locale=en_us

10) An MPT Fitness Boot Camp Gift Certificate-  Sign yourself and a friend or family member up for one of MPT's Fitness Boot Camps.  For more information go here: http://www.sampt.com/fitness-boot-camp-in-san-antonio.html

Make it a great day San Antonio!

Sometimes we all seem to hit a plateau in our workouts and we start thinking "again?" when it is time for us to go workout.

Here are some quick thoughts I had on how you can beat that feeling:

1) Take a week off- This is a great plan especially if you have been working out for 8+ weeks without a week off.  It will let you fill your engine back up and you should be ready to go full speed ahead after the week off.  The trick is keeping a week from turning into a month!

2) Change things up-  Go through a different type of workout.  If you like weights a lot, change it up for a week or so by doing some high intensity cardio sessions and don't go to the gym for a week.

3) Find something to look forward to-  Whether it is a high school reunion or a night out with your S.O., take it as a challenge to look great before that event.  The motivation you get from this "timeline" will be unbeatable.

4) Join a competition-  Whethere it is a community run basketball league or a 5K, sign up for it!  When you have a competition to push you towards your goals, there is no limit to what you will do.

If you are in a rut, find a way to get out and do it now.  Don't wait, because a day will turn into a week, a week into a month and before you know it, working out will be a chore, not something that is fun and relieves stress.

Make it a great day San Antonio!

I don't know what to say other than that.

The support you all showed the Toys for Toys program by participating in our Toys for Tots Boot Camp and bringing numerous toys was absolutely awesome and impressed the heck out of me as well as the Lt. from the Marines who was there to collect the toys.

Many of you, even if you were not able to make it to the boot camp, still donated a toy and I want to thank you as well.

Here are some videos from the boot camp:

If you were not able to make it out to this boot camp, we will be doing more and I will be sure to let you know about it.

Thanks again, you are all special and you demonstrated what Christmas spirit is all about!

Make it a great day San Antonio!
