Exercise and Fitness
It isn’t always easy to fit in a workout during a busy day. At work, it’s really difficult because you’re sitting at your desk and not moving all day.
Sitting at your desk all day isn’t good for anyone. If you know someone who rarely gets away for a daily exercise routine, you can help him out with a gift he can use without ever leaving his desk.
The FitDesk Under Desk Elliptical is an desk pedaling machine that closely imitates the larger elliptical machines you’d find at a gym. You can achieve a smooth forward and backward elliptical motion without hitting your knees on the underside of the desk.
You may want to include a desk stand with a digital meter to track your progress while youíre working out at your desk. The FitDesk Elliptical can be used hands-free so you can work on the computer or perform other tasks at the same time youíre exercising.
Your holiday gift-giving budget can easily accommodate many of the exercise and fitness items you might choose. For example, the new, Isokinetics Inc. Balance Exercise Ball Chair (Standard or Tall Boy) cleverly incorporates the exercise ball and a chair so you can get the same flexibility and balance of the single ball plus the advantage of sitting up straight in a chair.
The ball chair can be used in the office or at home. Many people say they prefer them over regular office chairs or a single ball to sit on.
Fitness includes eating well and drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. Super-fancy water bottles also make great gifts.
Blenders for those special power-smoothies and juicers to use with fresh fruits and veggies are popular items for those who want to stay fit by watching their diets carefully. Infusers are popular this year because you can infuse water, juice or other liquids with favorite fruits and vegetables.
