If you or someone you know loves a good workout more than a nap, then this Christmas list is for you.

Maybe you’re looking for ideas for that hard-to-buy-for fitness junkie who rarely leaves the gym. Maybe you’re a couch potato trying to find a perfect gift for the Energizer bunny in your life. Or maybe this is the year you’ve finally started revving up a routine, and now you want to put some items on your list for Santa.

From high-tech activity information to low-tech fitness accessories and cold weather gear, we’ve got plenty of goodies to spur your last-minute shopping ideas.

High-tech fit

Activity trackers are burning up wish lists this year. The devices can give wearers information about activity, nutrition and rest.

Fitness bands like Fitbit, the Garmin vivofit and Jawbone UP have been growing in popularity as a gift for the past couple of years. Their technology has improved since the Fitbit Flex was first developed in 2007, and they do everything from track your activity to count your calories to monitor how well you sleep. Many now use apps to directly load data to your phone.

J. Jenkins, store manager of Gary Gribble’s Running Sports, says it is important to decide whether you want your activity tracker to work with a heart rate monitor, because not all do.

“That’s usually the first question I ask,” Jenkins said.

Kelsey Stoskopf, a trainer at The Summit health club in Lawrence, says she has been using the Jawbone UP wristband for about a year and half.

“From tracking food, to sleep cycles, steps and calories, it does it all,” she said.

She said she likes the sleep monitor function of the band as well as the alarm. “It makes sure to wake you up when you are in your lightest sleep around the alarm time, as to not wake you from a deep sleep.”

Summit member Jennifer Schwartz purchased her Garmin Vivofit about six months ago while recovering from surgery.

“I wanted a wearable device since I didn’t want to carry my smartphone everywhere I went,” Schwartz said.

The wearability has changed for the devices, too. Some clip to clothing, and one, the Misfit Shine, is a disc that can be worn on the wrist, on a pendant or on a clip. The disc is meant to move around on your body depending on what activity you’re doing (wrist for swimming, ankle for running and cycling, for example).

Low-tech necessities

Getting fit doesn’t require an investment in technology. A good pair of shoes, a sidewalk and a positive attitude can help you get started right away. But there are a few low-tech accessories that can help you make strides toward your goals.

Audrey Welch, physical therapist with TherapyWorks in Lawrence, says a foam roller can benefit anyone, even a casual exerciser who isn’t an athlete.

A foam roller can help you use trigger point release techniques on yourself, Welch said.

“Using our muscles all day, they naturally get kinks in them,” she said. “The beautiful thing about a foam roller is that it’s a way of releasing those tight tension spots. And it’s not expensive.

“We use our muscles all day, every day, whether it’s standing or walking, especially with exercise activities, and it’s just a nice way to reduce those tension spots, stretch things out, and prevent injury,” she said.

Welch also recommended another simple, great gift: a water bottle. Many exercisers overlook hydration as an important factor in their workouts and recovery.

“A lot of our population is dehydrated because there’s so much caffeine, whether it’s coffee or energy drinks or other stuff,” she said. “If they have a really good water bottle, they want to keep refilling throughout the day; it’s a simple thing.”

Massage therapy is a gift everyone wants but not everyone will buy for themselves. Massage can relieve pain and stress and can also help prevent injury. A massage gift certificate could be a welcome treat for the fit, and possibly sore, person on your gift list.

Licensed massage therapist Jenn Boyce of TherapyWorks says many people equate “healthy” with food that doesn’t taste good or exercise that’s difficult.

“Massage is something healthy that is relaxing,” she said. “It’s not negative.”

Despite massage’s potential wellness benefits, health insurance typically doesn’t cover it, so plan accordingly.

Cold-weather gear

If the fitness buffs on your holiday list are not the indoor types, maybe it’s time to spruce up their activity wardrobes with some new cold-weather clothing and accessories that make being outside tolerable — even enjoyable.

Gribble’s Jenkins says the key to exercising outside in the cold is wearing multiple layers that you can take off as you heat up.

“The idea when you’re running or walking outdoors in the wintertime is that you want to stay just below the line of sweating,” he said. “So as soon as you get up to where you feel like you’re heated enough that you want to sweat, you want to open up a little, because you don’t want to get wet.”

Winter apparel is designed to help wick moisture away and keep you dry. And while cotton may be a great fabric, Jenkins said it’s best avoided as a cold-weather layer.

“Cotton absorbs moisture, so we go with a lot of synthetic blends,” he said. “Mizuno has a material called Breath Thermo, which generates heat when it gets wet. It means you can wear lighter clothing or fewer layers.”

The extremities also need protection during the cold months.

“Most of our body heat is lost through our head and hands,” Jenkins explained. “Depending on how warm you like to be, you can go with a thin liner-type glove or a mitten for more warmth because your fingers warm each other inside the glove.”

Athletic shoes are built to be breathable and light, but they don’t provide much protection against the cold. Good socks are necessary for keeping feet warm inside shoes.

Quarter-length socks may be a good option for people who wear tights, Jenkins said. Tights are usually long enough, and quarter-length socks are high enough that you don’t expose your ankles to the cold.

Merino wool is also a great material for socks.

“It’s a naturally temperature-regulating material,” he said. “You can wear it year round, and it will keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.”
