These Are the Best Gifts for the Athlete in Your Life

I use these bands whenever I work out, and if they don’t have a pair, this is a must for any home gym. They can be easily stored when not in use and can easily attach to their door when they need to use it.

For the athlete who’s worried about their BPM, resting heart rate, step count, and stats as a whole, a FitBit is a great gift. Not only will they stay on top of their workouts, they’ll be able to stay on top of their texts and phone calls, too, since the FitBit can connect to their phone.

Not only is this a good gift for an athlete in your life, it’s good for the most stressed out person you know, too. Better than a foam roller, this massage therapy device will help get rid of any knots in their muscles so they can keep doing what they love, injury free.

This is kind of like gifting them a complete home gym. The TRX system rules — with it, you can do total body workouts. It comes with an app to help guide you through the exercises and a poster to help you visualize what you’re supposed to be doing, too.

These are bone conducting headphones, meaning they don’t go in your ear, but instead rest on your temple and emit music via vibration. They’re really cool and great for running because with your ears clear, you can hear the sounds of the street, to ensure you don’t miss anything.

Soon, it’s going to be winter and the roads will be icy and gyms will likely still not be a place they want to be. Give the gift of allowing them to run outside, no matter the conditions. These go on any shoe and add grip on any terrain. No more snow days for them.

Give the gift of hydration this year. This Hydroflask has an easy to drink from nozzle up top, plus will keep their beverage crisp and cool, no matter how hard they’re working out. You can’t go wrong with water, that’s for sure.
