With some subtle hinting, you may even get one of these gifts yourself.
One of the biggest issues at Christmas time can be purchasing a gift for a loved one that is hoping to start living a healthier lifestyle.
This can be extremely challenging when temptation is everywhere. You can help them to stick to their new healthy lifestyle with one of these healthy Christmas gifts.
Membership
You may be surprised to learn that there are over 60,000 people with a gym membership. However, estimates suggest that half of those with membership never actually go to the gym.
That makes gym membership a potentially expensive and under-appreciated gift.
However, a great gift for the special person is FF30X membership. This will give them access to advice regarding the best exercises, healthy recipes, and the support of other men who are looking to lose weight or build lean muscle.
This is one of those healthy Christmas gifts that will simply keep on giving!
Here’s How Busy Guys 40+ Are Finally Losing Weight…
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, & 60s, you need to eat and exercise differently to lose weight & actually keep it off…
A Promise
If funds are low, then this is a great gift for a loved one trying to improve their health.
Simply promise to train with them at least once a week. You’ll need to undertake their preferred activity, and you’ll have to be committed.
The proof of the gift and your appreciation of them as a person will be when you turn up week after week, motivating them to complete their exercise routine and get healthier in the process. The fact that it will also benefit you as well is a bonus.
Wireless Headphones
The right playlist is the perfect accompaniment to any workout. But to really appreciate your chosen tunes, you need the best possible headphones.
Wireless headphones tend to be more expensive than a standard pair of headphones, but they are much more convenient when working out.
Wires can get in the way when you’re in the middle of a workout, but this isn't an issue with wireless headphones. Your healthy Christmas gifts will definitely be appreciated.
Fitness Tracker
Fitness trackers have become exceptionally popular in the last few years and with good reason.
Fitness gadgets provide you with a means of recording your movements, monitoring your heart rate, and most importantly, give you a set of statistics regarding your health.
Giving a fitness tracker as one of your healthy Christmas gifts means that your loved one can track their fitness and see how it is improving. They can even use the data to locate their weakest areas, allowing them to focus on seeing improvements over their body.
A Bike
This is potentially one of the more expensive healthy Christmas gifts, but it should be well appreciated.
Riding a bike is not the ideal workout routine for everyone. However, if your friend enjoys cycling, then this can be a great gift. Cycling is the perfect way to get an aerobic workout without placing stress on the joints.
It’s also something that you can do with your friend helping to motivate them and ensure they stick to their new fitness plan. That’s a great gift to give anyone.
Workout Gear
If you’re already into working out, then you know how much difference the right gear can make to how you feel and how hard you try exercising.
You can share this gift with your friends and family by purchasing them some workout gear. It could simply be new shorts or a complete workout set.
Your friend will feel more motivated to exercise when you've bought them the gear partly because they’ll look the part and partly because they won’t want to let you down.
Dumbbells
A set of dumbbells can transform any exercise. For example, add them to your squats to get dumbbell squats.
The great thing about dumbbells and why they are one of the best healthy Christmas gifts is that they need very little storage space, and they can be used in a very small area.
To complete a set of exercises, all you need is a list of exercises and the dumbbells combined with between 4 and 6 feet of space.
You can always add a few exercise suggestions to the dumbbells to make it an extra healthy Christmas gift.
Cross Trainer
The cross trainer is another of the more expensive healthy Christmas gifts on this list, but it is a great way of making sure that your friend can stay in shape, whatever the weather.
There are many different exercise machines that you could purchase to help someone get into shape and stick to a new health routine.
However, this is a great machine for working all their muscles, and it doesn't matter if they are new to fitness, or have been doing it for years, they’ll be able to find the right setting for their needs.
Digital Scales
Many trainers tell you to ignore the scales, especially if you are trying to add muscle, as this is likely to increase your weight.
However, the scales can actually be a motivational tool. By knowing that you have to step on them every week, you’ll be more aware of the food you’re eating. This will help you or your friend to stay on track with their new healthy lifestyle.
The scales will make them accountable, which makes anyone more likely to stick with the plan.
Cookbook
It can often seem difficult to know what to eat and what to cook, especially when time is limited and you've had a stressful day. The perfect plate method is a great way of regulating your food intake and ensuring you get all the right nutrients.
However, you can add to this with a cookbook helping your friend to know what meals to prepare at the beginning of the week and avoiding temptation during the week. This is another of the most thoughtful healthy Christmas gifts providing you choose a book that has recipes your friend is likely to enjoy eating.
It is worth noting that recipes that are quick and easy to prepare are the preferred choice.
Trial Food Box
You've probably seen the advertisements regarding having fresh food delivered to your door. You can choose to have fresh food by itself or recipes with all the ingredients you need to prepare your meals.
Getting a limited membership to one of these types of food services can be a great healthy Christmas gift as it will encourage your friend to eat properly and avoid those delicious but unhealthy takeaways.
Enjoy Our Support
Perhaps the best gift you can give anyone is a membership to the FF30X program. This will give your friends and family all the support they need to stay on track with their healthy ambitions.
They will also gain access to healthy recipes and exercise ideas, which are created by professionals and utilized by thousands of other men who have vowed to live healthier lifestyles.
Sign up for yourself or give FF3OX to a friend and start feeling the benefits of the best healthy Christmas gifts, even before Christmas starts!
