Mother's Day is just around the corner, are you ready? These gifts are just a few things that the fit Mom's you know will love. Heck, I think almost anyone would love almost everything on this list! Mother's Day, Father's Day, your step-cousin's birthday- covered in one swoop. The best part is that these fit gifts run the gambit of fitness levels and interests. What are some of your favorites on the list?
1. Manduka eQua Hand Towel ($20): This towel is a dream come true for all those hot yogis out there. It is thin but super absorbent and can be used as a yoga towel or hand towel, depending on your preference. The towel also comes in enough colors to make every Mom happy.
2. Jillian Michaels Body Revolution ($89.98): What woman does not like Jillian Michaels? This pack is the holy grail of Jillian Michaels workouts. For real. Included is 15 DVD's, a meal journal, meal plan, 30-membership online, and the 7-day kickstart diet.
3. Digital Cordless Jump Rope ($18): Jump roping has come back in a big way. It is no longer solely for 5-year old girls or those stuck in the 90's. Jump rope is a great cardio workout that can be done anywhere. These digital cordless varieties are great for travel and can reduce that pesky tripping over the rope part.
4. Nike+ Sport Watch GPS Powered by Tom Tom ($240.99): Welcome to my new favorite thing and the Cadillac of HRMs. This thing is crazy. First off, it is stunning and comes in tons of color options. Second, this watch does everything you could think of and even has a USB on the band for easy uploading. Track time, distance, pace, and see your route. All of this can also be done when on the treadmill. Best. Thing. Ever.
5. Hard Tail Slouchy Top ($62): This shirt may seem a little pricey, but it's multiple purposes make it more than worth it. Yes, it was made for working out, but this shirt is as comfortable in the gym as it is on a night out. And really, what Mom does not like a two-for-one?
6. Empower 3 in 1 Kettlebell ($39.99): One of my least favorite things about being a home gymer is the workout equipment. I have been holding off on getting multiple kettlebells because I just did not want to find a place to store them. For once, my laziness has paid off! This kettlebell can be 5 lbs, 8 lbs, or 12 lbs depending on the weights you add. That equals less than $15 per kettlebell!
7. Wahoo Blue Heart Rate Monitor for iPhone and Android ($49.99): I cannot decide which is cooler, the Nike+ watch or this HRM that connects to your Android, iPad, iPad Mini, or iPhone. It also works with most running apps, like my favorite, Run Keeper. This little guy will give you a full sum-up of your workout delivered straight to your smart device.
8. Trigger Point Performance The Grid Revolutionary Foam Roller ($36.95): This foam roller is not your usual set of tennis balls taped together; it is any workout enthusiast's dream. The foam roller uses a higher density foam and also has a grid system with different levels for different uses. No matter where you are sore, this foam roller will help you roll it out.
