‘Tis the season to be jolly……And to rack your brain finding the perfect gift for everyone on your list! This year let us help you give the gift of self-improvement and preservation with our top health, fitness, and wellness items.
Trigger Point Foam Roller
Melissa’s must-have fitness tool is the Trigger Point Foam Roller. After a run or indoor cycling session, Melissa needs to roll out her tight spots in order to stay pain free and ready for her next workout. She also likes the short version of this foam roller because it’s light and compact, and it also gives just the right amount of pressure on her muscles. It also travels well — it is hollow, so you can stuff the center with socks and small items and just throw it in your suitcase! Looking for a stocking stuffer? Try the Trigger Point MobiPoint Massage Ball. Stephanie likes this ball for rolling out feet. It is easy to sit in a chair and use this ball to break up tissue, improve circulation, and challenge coordination.
Shashi Socks
Need to find more perfect stocking stuffers? Amy recommends Shashi Socks to keep your toes warm during your next yoga or Pilates class. And they are super cute and fashionable!
Yoga Mats
Looking for the perfect yoga mat? Sona recommends a Manduka mat for a lifetime guarantee of connectivity and bliss. Stephanie also chooses a Manduka mat. Her favorite is the Black Mat PRO Yoga Mat. She likes the sticky surface for a stable place to set her feet in yoga poses. Manduka also offers outstanding customer service!
Water Bottles:
Erin won't leave home without her S’well water bottle. After trying this water bottle, it is easy to see what all the hype is about. It truly keeps your water tasting fresh and cold all day — even on the hottest days of summer! And you will be helping S’well to rid the world of plastic, disposable water bottles.
Yoga Pants
The Misty Legging by PrAna is Stephanie’s top pick. She likes the compression fabric. Erin’s go to pants for any activity in or out of the studio are the Train Times pants by Lululemon. She likes the higher waist to keep them from falling down and the secret pocket in the back for a phone or any other small item. Melissa’s pick for a cold weather run or walk outside in winter are the Polartec Sculptek tights by Athleta. They keep her warm and don’t creep down during a run.
Fitness Tracker
Everyone is tracking their steps and activity these days. Most are doing it in the form of a large watch or a thick plastic band worn around your wrist. After searching high and low for a “pretty” band to cover her Fitbit, Erin found the Bellabeat activity tracker for women. It can be worn as a necklace, bracelet, or clipped on to a belt or other piece of clothing. It is as pretty as it is functional.
These are just a few of our favorite things. Please share your favorite fitness and wellness things with us, so we can fall in love with them too!
