What’s On Your Diet and Fitness Wishlist?

Welcome to Diet and Fitness Podcast, a free audio podcast sponsored by Diet.com. This is your fit, fun, and fabulous host, Lady Diet, ready to give you the skinny on the latest diet, fitness, health tips and news.

This year, why not make diet and fitness the theme for Holiday gift-giving? Whether you’re making your own holiday wish list, or thinking of things to get your loved ones, give something that will really make a difference for anyone’s healthy lifestyle, and help keep those get-in-shape resolutions during the New Year. So, fellow dieters, in this podcast I ask – What’s on your diet and fitness wishlist? Well, let me tell you a few of my favorite healthy gift ideas that anyone will love!

1) Watches always make great gifts, but how about a sports watch that comes packed with fitness features? It’s like having a personal trainer strapped to your wrist! Try the Garmin Forerunner 50 Fitness Watch with Heart Rate Monitor. For around $99, it gives you workout data including training time, pace, distance, calories, and average heart rate. It even has a wireless heart rate monitor and can transmit data to your computer!

2) Tired of that drab, smelly old gym bag? Spruce up your own or someone else’s gym wardrobe with a new cute gym bag, like lululemon athletica’s stylish and very pinkVelocity Gym Bag, made with lightweight nylon and complete with space for your ipod and water bottle, and space to even carry your yoga mat. While lululemon is a bit on the high end of prices, check out ebags.com for a huge selection of affordable gym bags.

3) Sign yourself or a friend up for a health magazine subscription! There are so many magazines out there, that if you’re friend’s into something specific, like meditation or long distance running, there’s probably a magazine devoted just to that! Get one on a specific topic that she’s interested in, and she’ll appreciate how you paid attention to her interests, compared to the generic Christmas ornament her second cousin got her. Well, you get the idea.

4) What could make someone feel more pampered than a massage? Treat yourself or a friend by giving a massage gift certificate. You can usually get them for half hour, hour, or two hour increments. A massage is the perfect therapeutic gift for any exerciser’s tired, sore muscles!

So there you have it, my top four picks on my diet and fitness wishlist! When you’re out shopping this month, give a gift that can make someone feel good inside and out, and help them reach their healthy goals for the new year. The ultimate weight loss gift? Sign up for a Diet.com Premium Membership this year, and get a proven weight loss plan designed just for your lifestyle! After all, what gift could be better than reaching your healthy weight and keeping it off successfully? Happy holidays and have fun shopping!
