Your Mom is the beloved center of the family. The holiday season gives you the opportunity to thank her for all she is and all she has done. Choosing a gift idea that reflects her health-oriented style shows your support of her and her active life.

One useful health gadget gift idea is a heart monitor. Innovative and smartly efficiently, these heart monitors are able to track calories, training loads, and heart rate. Exercise diaries can be logged, and previous to current workout comparison allows you to judge workout effectiveness. Heart monitors also provide tools to track your workout goals. A full sixteen week workout program history allows you to focus on improvement as well as fat burning.

Another smart gift idea is a juicer machine. Great for you as well as great tasting, larger commercial juicers are durable and get the job done quickly. Fruit and vegetable juice is a wonderful source of anti-oxidants and vitamins. Juicers are a great way to lose weight while obtaining much needed energy. Commercial masticating juicers can produce juice from whole fruits and vegetables within one minute, without having to slice them into pieces. Convenient pull-out pulp trays allow you to easily produce larger amount of juice without stopping. Cleanup is easy with dishwasher safe parts.

Another thoughtful gift idea is a comfort gel yoga mat. A full 72” long, the comfort gel yoga mat gives even tired old bones a gelled cushion support. The yoga mat can be paired with the yoga inversion swing. The inversion swing, with handles made of parachute material, easily assembles in minutes. The inversion swing provides three arm and leg handles for a variety of yoga poses and postures. The swing only weighs three pounds. Both the yoga mat and inversion swing are highly portable to take to yoga class.
A neat companion to exercise is the new Bluetooth headphone. Wireless technology allows free body movement so music can be enjoyed without the hassle of wires. Providing pristine audio sound, the new Bluetooth headphone has upgraded features such as apt-X allowing the headphones to provide CD quality sound. Unique new colors will brightly accent the retro look.

A unique gift is the latest exercise tool, kettle bells. Kettle bells are cast iron bells, wrapped in plastic or rubber, with u-shaped handles. These strange weights are proving to be quite a calorie burner. Kettle balls are different than other fitness routines. The shape of the kettle bell forces your body into ballistic exercising, a form of strength training. The center of mass is extended beyond the hand. The kettle bells provide strength and endurance particularly in the lower back, legs and shoulders. Exercises such as the ‘swing’ and the ‘snatch’ involve the entire body. Kettle bells can be combined along with other forms of exercise for an entire body workout.
Whatever you chose for the fitness-minded Mom in your life, don’t forget to pair your unique present with a hug.
