Your Wish List

Working on your HOLIDAY WISH LIST? The holidays are a GREAT time to get a new piece of equipment that will inspire you to be ACTIVE in the year to come. Something as simple as a new pair of running shoes or a cute new workout outfit can motivate you to go to the gym more, but I encourage you to think outside the box this holiday and maybe even try something new! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

L.L. Bean's Calypso Women's Kayak: This kayak is one of the BEST gifts I have ever received! I love that it is light weight enough for me to lift out of the water and put on top of my car. The adjustable backrest is also very comfy. It is a GREAT workout, you get to enjoy nature, and get an AMAZING tan.

Paddle Board: This is a great way to be on the water with the LEAST amount of equipment needed. You can paddle board on lakes, rivers, and oceans. It's a fabulous CORE workout and a FUN way to spend time on the water next summer. A friend of mine even brings his dog out for a little company. Check out http://www.paddleboards.com/ for more info on the sport, you can also find boards at your local REI.



Rollerblades: Haven't rollerbladed since you were a kid? Pick it back up! It's a great way to tone your legs and keep up your cardiovascular endurance. Rollerblades are also relatively small and easy to bring with you when you travel for a portable workout.

Skate Skis: These skis are similar to cross country skis but are MUCH SMOOTHER and FASTER allowing you to perform a rollerskating motion as you glide across the SNOW. Skate Skis are often sold at CYCLE shops as the sport is an excellent way for cyclists to stay in shape over the winter.

Golf Clubs: Golf is an amazing LIFELONG sport. It's a great way to enjoy time outside, and a little competition with some friends. I've recently taken up GOLF because so many people close to me are in LOVE with the game, and so these Maxfli clubs are on MY holiday wish list this year.

Road Bike: Road bike's have thin tires and light weight frames offering minimal resistance such that you can bike FARTHER and FASTER than on a traditional bike. I got my first road bike off of http://www.craigslist.com/ and am now HOOKED.
