If you are in charge of putting together a Christmas stocking for a child or other close relative who is also interested in health, you may not want to fill it with solid chocolate Santa heads and bags of other sweet treats. Here are some better options.

When it comes to water bottles, one can never have too many of them. Don’t be afraid to get a water bottle for someone just because you assume they already have one. People are constantly leaving bottles at the gym or in their car, misplace them, and have to buy new ones. Go ahead and find a good water bottle for their stocking. There are also different varieties of bottles, from those that fit into a bicycle, to infusing bottles that have a compartment in the middle to fit cut up fruit or vegetables. You can also get a bottle with a secret compartment to hold their keys and credit cards when heading into the gym.

Gripping Socks

These types of socks are good for anyone who likes to do yoga, Pilates, or even barre workouts.

This is where the gripping socks come in handy. Often labeled as yoga socks or Pilates socks, they are short socks that have grips on the bottom. They are comfortable and lightweight, yet they grip any surface to prevent slipping and sliding around.

For the fitness fan in your life, you may want to get them a gift that follows along with this type of interest. Luckily, there are a lot of gifts to choose from. Consider one or more of the following gift ideas.

Workout Journal

Workout Journal (Diary, Notebook, Fitness)

Someone who is really into fitness probably also wants to keep track of their activity daily, which is where the benefit of a workout journal comes in. Try to find them a journal with a good size that lets them bring it around with them in their purse or gym bag, so that it is always available. Some journals simply have blank pages with lines, while others are split up into categories with prompts on each page of what to write. A good journal is Workout Journal Diary by Claudine Gandolfi. This is available on Amazon and includes areas for recording the type of workout, vitamins and supplements, and classes taken on that day.

Exercise Bands

There are a lot of different types of resistance bands, but these are great because they include 5 bands and come with a full exercise instructional booklet. These exercise bands are made of cotton elastic fabric and are 13 inches long each. They are lightweight and easy for even a beginner to use.

Cooling Towel

Don’t forget that when someone is into fitness, they sweat a lot, which requires the use of a really good towel. Nobody wants to use a towel that is scratchy or too warm, since this isn’t going to help them feel any better. A better option is to get them a towel that is soft but also cooling. Cooling towels will make them feel instantly better, no matter how hot they are. These are especially useful for someone who is hiking or walking outside when it gets really hot.

Exercise Playing Cards

FitDeck Illustrated Exercise Playing Cards for Guided Workouts

This is actually becoming really popular by people who want a different workout each time without having to choose what exercises to do. It is great for people who are hitting a weight loss or fitness plateau from always doing the same workout. With exercise playing cards, they have to do whatever exercise the card says to do, including the number of reps. FitDeck makes an excellent set of exercise cards that are inexpensive. These offer exercises for the lower body, upper, and middle body.
