Heart-Healthy Valentine's Day Gifts
This Valentine's Day, give this heart-themed holiday a new meaning. Treat your special someone to a gift that's both heartfelt and good for the heart. Here are six super ideas for gifts that are indulgent, relaxing, relationship-building, and healthy to boot.
Give Where It Counts This Season
This holiday season we're hoping that you're taking our suggestions for giving back by donating used sports gear or giving blood. Another way to help is by donating money to a worthy cause — I know a few people who give money to a charity on friends' behalf instead of buying gifts. If you're afraid of showing up empty handed, don't worry.
A Lesson From Obama: Give the Gift of Health
It's often pointed out how fit and healthy President Barack Obama is — he plays basketball with a passion, goes to the gym six days a week, and when on vacation chooses to bodysurf over lounging on the beach. It was even reported that during his presidential campaign he hit the gym for 48 days in a row. In light of his struggle to kick a nicotine habit — something he says he is 95 percent cured of — Obama lives a pretty fitness-focused lifestyle.
Gifts For the Extreme Sports Enthusiast
Extreme sports are death-defying, adrenaline-pumping activities that leave most of us staring in disbelief. And whether it's rock climbing, snowboarding, or skydiving, you may have someone special in your life who likes to push the limits. Here are my picks for gifts that will keep your action adventure buddy safe, warm, and protected no matter where they are.
DIY Gift: Heat Soothing Neck Wrap
I'm all about the holiday season, and I love giving gifts that my friends can actually use. With that in mind, I've decided to replicate my homemade neck wrap, and give the gift of easy relaxation to all my friends.
Making your own at home is super easy and inexpensive —plus your friends will love using the wrap to unwind.
What Fitness Gifts Did You Get This Year?
We talked about all the things we wanted Santa, or anyone, to give us as a gift this holiday season so I am hoping that you got some of what you were asking. More important I am wondering what, if any, fitness/health gifts you got this year.

Fit Gift: Fitness Challenge for the Fit Wannabe Couple
Looking for a game that will get fitness wannabes moving?
The Fitness Challenge ($29.95) combines playing a board game with the benefits of an exercise and fitness program. Designed for two players of any age or ability to compete, The Fitness Challenge uses rewards in the form of star points along with cute coupons (make the other player organize your drawer or clean out your cat's litter box) as prizes to motivate players to exercise consistently and lose weight for eight weeks.
Gifts That Move You
If you're like me you're right in the middle of figuring out gifts for the long list of people you love (or don't totally love, but still are obligated to buy for). I hate buying people gifts that I know are going to promote them being sedentary. It is hard when it comes to games but there are some games that really get you moving.
