Gift the gift of horseback riding lessons to the animal lover in your life

I talked to Fitness Santa the other day and he gave me some unique ideas for last-minute Christmas gifts

These gifts cover a range of budgets and tastes so I’m sure you’ll find the right gift for that special someone.

1. For fitness enthusiasts who are also book worms, Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?

2. For anyone who doesn’t want to miss a workout anywhere they go the TRX suspension training system.

3. Feeling tight from all the stress and hurry of the holiday season? A fascial stretch therapy session with Robin Turner is just the relief you need.

4. For the runners in your life, a gift certificate from Core Running they can use for a running assessment, workshop, clinic or personal coaching.

5. For animal lovers who want a great core workout, horseback riding lessons with Top-Line Training.

6. For anyone tired of the same old equipment, try kettlebells, battling ropes, sleds, clubs and sandbags from Human Motion.ca.

7. For those who can’t afford a personal coach, easy to follow instructional books and DVD’s from Productive Fitness.

8. For the gourmet food lover who wants to eat healthy, one of my favourite cookbooks.

9. For those who love to exercise but hate gyms, a ticket for shoeshoeing and cross-country skiing at Cypress Mountain; snowboarding and downhill skiing at Grouse Mountain or backcountry skiing at Mount Seymour.

10. For ladies who want to showcase the rewards of all their workouts, a great gift for their husbands or boyfriends is a boudoir photo shoot with Jennifer Williams. Trust me, he’ll love your for it. (Honey I hope you read this post.)

Have a fit and healthy holiday season! Well, maybe not too healthy. I encourage my clients to eat, drink and be merry over the holidays, at least a little bit. It’s good for business!
