The Gift of Fitness

RealAge Tip of the DAY for December 7, 2007

•The Gift of Fitness

Along with a cozy sweater, here are some key fitness gadgets you should add to your gift wish list this holiday season.

Write down hand weights or a weighted vest, an exercise ball, resistance bands, and a jump rope or a mini trampoline. These add-ons can turn your body into a super-duper all-in-one gym that helps you stay in shape year-round. Here's how to use them. (see below ↓)


Equipment Essentials
Your body is one of the best gyms in the world. And a few extra fitness gadgets can make your physiological gym even better, write Mehmet Oz, MD, and Michael Roizen, MD, in their best-selling book YOU: On a Diet.

Hand weights or a weighted vest: Carrying a little extra weight can ratchet up the strength-training power of lunges, squats, and other resistance exercises. Add weights to the RealAge 20-Minute Workout.

An exercise ball: Instead of doing exercises and stretches on the floor, tone your stability muscles (like your abs) by doing them on one of these inflatable balls. Here's an easy three-step ab workout using an exercise ball.

Resistance bands: These bands make great stocking stuffers! And they are perfectly portable, so you can stick with the program on your next road trip.
A jump rope or a mini trampoline/rebounder: They're not just for kids. A workout with one of these will get your heart pumping and make you more agile. Learn how many calories jumping rope can burn.

For a gift that keeps on giving, invite your friends and family to take the RealAge test!
