Top 5 Fitness Gifts

Christmas is almost here and the most popular New Year's resolution is to lose weight or get in shape next year. You can help them lose weight and get in shape by getting them a great fitness gift this holiday season.

Top 5 Fitness Gifts:

1. Stationary Bike- This gift is great for everyone because it's a source of cardio that is easy on your knees. To help speed up your metabolism, you can ride this bike every day for 30-60 mins to help burn calories and rev up your metabolism.

2. Bench Press-Every guy out there wants to have a huge bench press, and the only way to get that is to have a bench press and work out. If you want to have bigger muscles and strength, you must lift heavy for fewer reps (3 sets of 6 reps with 80% of 1 rep max).

3. Decline Ab Bench- This is a great piece of equipment for ripped abs. You perform these reps with weight while flexing and really get your ab muscles exploding. You can also do them backwards while holding the leg pieces and raising your legs for a lower ab burnout.

4. Dumbbells- These are great for performing many home exercises. You can do biceps curls, triceps kick backs, use them with the declined ab machine for abs, shoulder exercises, squats, lunges, traps, and just about every other muscle in your body.

5. Home Gyms- Home gyms are great for people who don't have much time on their hands. They're also great for people who procrastinate and keep saying they'll go to the gym later; now they will be able to have their own gym in their homes. You can perform shoulder exercises, legs, back, chest, and many more exercises with all in one home gyms.

If you get these great fitness gifts for anyone you love, they'll greatly benefit from them and may actually keep their New Year's resolution to look great and be in shape. Remember that it's okay to over eat some this holiday, but make sure that you try to eat as healthy as possible and get some cardio.
