Are you still struggling to find the perfect gift for someone special on your list?
Here are some great health and fitness inspired ideas that not only won’t disappoint, but will keep on giving the whole year through!
Although these gifts may not be for everyone on your list, they are great for someone who you know is searching for a healthier lifestyle and may have spoken to you about getting in shape in the new year. There is no better gift than helping to change a persons health and well-being.
1) Healthy Reading! Health and Fitness Books are always a great way addition to the New Year, but these two books in particular: How to Eat, Move & Be Healthy (*click link for more info*) by Paul Chek, and Nourishing Traditions (*click link for more info*) by Sally Fallon, have a great deal to offer:
How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy, gives a great basis for good nutrition and offers some clarity for those who are searching for something uncomplicated and straight forward. My favorite parts of this book however, are the stretches and exercises, which range from total beginner to advanced user. It is very hard to find a compilation of such great fitness information in another book.
Nourishing Traditions will teach you things you never even thought about when it comes to the food your eat. It goes into great depth into how traditional societies prepared their foods and why. It also includes tons of great recipes that you can use to better your health and that of your family.
2) Young Living Essential Oils: (*click link for more info*)These essential oils are unlike any other in the market, they are Therapeutic Grade and meticulously harvested and distilled. Because they are therapeutic grade they can have extremely healing effects on the body: energize, disinfect, boost your immune system, help calm the body and mind, detoxify, etc…Because of their purity, these oils also smell amazing, so they are perfect to purify the air in your home and keep your house smelling great!
These oils are especially great for moms, who like to try the natural approach when their kids are sick; you can lower a fever in minutes by applying Peppermint oil to the feet, cure pink eye and ear infections with Purification ™, prevent colds and soothe soar throats with Thieves ™ , and these are but a few.
3) Fitness Class Membership: (http://www.bestbodybootcamp.com)
Fitness and weight loss is on almost everyones list for the New Year, so this is a great way to give them a head start. Group Fitness classes are a terrific way to stay motivated while getting results! The majority of people don’t like working out on their own because they get bored or they have a hard time really pushing themselves past their comfort zone. When you have others around you pushing themselves, it’s human nature to want to push hard as well! And when you have a great instructor who motivates you while providing great workouts, your chances of success are much higher!
4) Personal Training Sessions: (http://www.bestbodybootcamp.com/cms/contact_us)
Not everyone likes to sweat in a group; and some people really do need more of a personal approach. A good personal trainer will sit down with you and discuss health and fitness goals, then come up with a great plan of action and workouts. Most people that join the gym on their own just end up doing the machine circuits and cardio because they feel lost and intimidated. But with a personalized workout laid out for you daily, you will be able to feel much more confident at the gym, and most importantly, see the results that you’re looking for.
Have a happy and healthy day!
