The 7 Best Gifts for Your Fitness Focused Friend

Gifts for them, or even for you.

After spending most of 2020 indoors, we all are taking greater advantage of conducting our favorite activities in-person again—and that includes attending the gym. Spending most of last year watching Youtube videos wasn’t the same for those who enjoy exercising side-by-side with other fitness aficionados. Now that we are able to continue our old routines, even if it’s socially distant, we can finally restock on all our fitness needs, no matter if it is exercise equipment, protein powder or running shoes. 

With the holidays approaching, it is the perfect time to do the shopping we’ve all longed to do. From unique electronic devices to workout gear, here are the best gifts for every fitness lover.

Like many people, I have to listen to music while exercising or doing any leisurely task. The new 3rd Generation AirPods make it easier to listen to your favorite tunes for longer, without disrupting your comfort. These AirPods were designed to sit at the right angle for better listening, and to securely fit inside your ear. They are also sweat and water resistant, so they can withstand any weather or heavy workout.

A best-seller for a very good reason. Made with extra cushion for maximum comfort, as well as backed with extra bounce to withstand any surface, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38 is no ordinary running shoe. (To convince you, it’s been a favorite for four decades.) Great for all running levels, the new Pegasus 38 is an upgrade from its predecessor because of its ability to conform to your feet. Not only is it breathable and softer in feel, it is also extremely durable to last for many years to come.
