SMART WATCHES In the thick of the digital age, if your wrist isn’t wrapped in a bundle of fitness-tracking, health monitoring wizardry, you’re missing out on a world of potential. From tracking steps to calorie counters, heart rate, sleep, and more, even the newest to fitness could benefit using a smart watch. From the most popular brands like Fitbit and Apple, to sports specific watches like Garmin, there are a variety of models and prices. 3. WIRELESS HEADPHONES There are too many factors that can play into what pair of headphones are the perfect choice. While earbuds are discreet and easy to use, if quality sound is what you are after, go for over-ear Bluetooth headphones. 2.

As a member, you will experience continuous health monitoring and deeply personal guidance that will improve over time as Oura gets to know your body. 1. MASSAGE GIFT CERTIFICATE Most, if not all, licensed massage therapists will offer gift certificates. Surprising someone with an opportunity to take care of themselves is a wonderful gift for a fitness enthusiast. 3. MOBILITY TOOLS From Theraguns to bands and rollers, you can be strong and muscular, but getting the most out of your workout means you cannot ignore the time it takes to stretch, which reduces your risk of injury. Most big box sports stores will offer a variety of rollers and bands, as well as online options for a variety of tools. Unsure what to buy? A roller or therapy gun is a great place to start. 1. RECOVERY SLIDES One of the newest and hottest trends in the fitness industry, a pair of recovery slides that you can slip into after a workout. These shoes and sandals differ from regular tennis shoes in that they are specifically designed to actively reduce joint stress, minimize swelling, and aid in circulation after a long run or big, high impact exertion.
