Christmas is now not far away and shopping for presents is probably creeping its way up your priority list. This year I have a suggestion for you. Why not try something a little different? Instead of getting this year's hottest gifts, be a little innovative and get a fitness themed gift. Your recipient will appreciate the extra thought you put into the gift and it can also be a fantastic way to get someone to do a little more physical activity. Today I am going to be expanding on this topic and providing you with 5 top Christmas fitness gifts.

1) ADDICTABALL:

The Addictaball is a cool Christmas present that focusses on mental fitness rather than physical fitness. It's basically a 3D maze in a ball and as the name suggests it is very addictive but also very difficult. So if fancy giving someone a mental workout over the festive period, this is the perfect gift.

2) CROSS TRAINER:

The cross trainer is a brilliant Christmas fitness gift for someone who wants to start training next year but would prefer to do it within the comfort of their own home. The best thing about cross trainers is that their price has dropped significantly. Just 100 will now get you a good quality cross trainer.

3) PROTEIN POWDER:

This 1 is strictly for the fitness buffs but if you know someone who goes to the gym a lot, protein powder is the perfect fitness gift for them. It's pretty cheap and will help them stock up on protein for the New Year.

4) SMARTSHAKE ADVANCED SHAKER CUP:

This is another cool Christmas present for gym junkies. It's similar to a standard protein shaker but it has 2 added benefits. First, it can handle both hot and cold drinks. Secondly, it has 2 extra compartments that can be used to store extra portions of supplements. If you are not into supplements then you probably won't see what all the fuss is about but trust me having all your supplement portions within 1 container is a really big time and space saver.

5) ZUMBA FITNESS DVD OR VIDEO GAME:

Zumba is the hot fitness trend at the moment and if you are looking for a Zumba themed Christmas fitness gift there are plenty around. So if you know someone who enjoys dancing, get them a Zumba DVD or video game. It's great fun and burns up to 600 calories an hour.

SUMMARY:

In my opinion fitness gifts are the perfect present. Everyone expects to open up a pair of socks or a woolly hat on Christmas morning. However, if they open up the Addictaball or the Zumba Fitness DVD they will be presently surprised. So if you have any shopping left to do go and pick up 1 of these cool Christmas presents.
