Fitness fanatics tend to get themselves all the gear they need in order to maintain their favorite sports and activities. But there are quite a few fun things you can consider gifting your loved one that they may not have thought of themselves. Here are five awesome options to consider:

Bluetooth Earbuds

Whether your loved one enjoys running, lifting weights, or busting out yoga moves on a daily basis, a pair of Bluetooth earbuds offers the perfect opportunity to escape the realities of daily life and get into the groove of motivating tunes. Bluetooth earbuds feature a compact design and don't require any wiring to the source of music, which offers lots of flexibility. Look for these features when shopping for a new pair:

  • HD sound
  • Noise cancellation
  • Voice command

It's important to ensure that the battery life is rated for several hours so that an entire workout can get done before the batteries need recharging. After all, nobody wants to lug extra batteries with them while they're active. For more information, contact a visit fitness technology retailer.

Minimalist Shoes

Minimalist shoes are all the rage among runners, but these shoes are fun for fitness fanatics of all types because they offer increased toe flexibility and the opportunity to improve the major muscles of the foot. Also referred to as "barefoot" shoes, these unique foot support options feature thin soles and tightly stitched uppers that create a snug fit to support a variety of activities from beach running to bike riding.

Some shoes feature a separate holding section for each toe which offers a truly barefoot feel and unique style, but many options look just like your typical sports shoe to appeal to those who prefer a traditional shoe design.

A Vision Board Kit

Vision boards help to create positive laws of attraction just by putting goals in front of your face on a daily basis. These boards are fun to make and offer solutions for any life situation, including fitness resolutions. Vision boards provide the maker with something to look forward to and work toward, which increases the chance for success. Gift your loved one with all the goods needed to create their own vision board:

  • A large piece of card-stock
  • A few fitness magazines
  • Glue
  • A fitness book for inspiration
  • Colored markers

Package everything up in a cool box or basket and put a bow on it! Your loved one's imagination will take over from there.

Personal Massage Gear

Staying fit is tough work that sometimes results in aches and pains, and if the fitness fanatic in your life is like most health buffs, they don't have access to massages as often as they'd like. Offer some relief by putting together a fun massage package that can be used whenever the mood strikes. Consider including some of these cool items in the package:

  • An acupressure mat
  • A handheld massaging wand
  • A vibrating foot massager
  • A therapeutic bath spa attachment

Another great option is a vibrating mat that sits on both standard and reclining chairs to provide a full back and thigh massage during relaxation.

Some Un-Cook Books

Eating lots of raw fruits and vegetables helps muscles to recover more quickly, which can come in handy for those who like to make fitness a priority. Support the fitness fanatic in your life with a few un-cook books that can be used to support their nutritional regimen. Look for raw food books that include recipes for fitness promoting meals such as:

  • Protein smoothies
  • Fat and protein packed snacks
  • Wraps

Because recipes made of raw fruits and veggies, like zucchini pasta and flax pizza, can be hard to imagine for those new to the un-cooking world, it's a good idea to ensure that the books you choose come with plenty of full color photos to help bring the recipes to life as they're discovered.

Thanks to these fun options, the fitness fanatic in your life is sure to think of you every time they head out to enjoy their art of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
