Christmas is just around the corner and I’ve been getting a couple of inquiries from friends and relatives on what the perfect gift to give someone who’s into running and fitness. Come to think of it, there’s really a lot of options to give nowadays. Of course excluding a new pair of shoes, here are some of my recommendations.

2. GPS Watch

If this is a person who loves the outdoors, either running, cycling or trekking, then a GPS watch can definitely be a gift of choice. GPS watches are designed to give real-time feedback about the person’s speed, pace, time and distance while they are doing their favorite outdoor activity, and most of the GPS watches nowadays also have an option to pair with an external Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) to monitor workout stress levels.

4. Gift of Wellness

People living an active lifestyle constantly expose their bodies to a lot of work and constant stress. With constant workout and training, muscles can become tight and stiff that can eventually lead to fatigue and injury. And good way to combat muscle tightness and fatigue is to get a good massage.
