Gift Ideas For The Exercise Enthusiast (Guest Post)

Some people are just hard to buy for don’t you think?  I know for sure that I am one of those people.   I love to exercise and I love chocolate (great combo, huh?), other than that, most of the time I sit at my computer and work or spend time with my kids.  So the big question is, what do you get for someone like me?

A lot of the answer to that question depends on how much you want to spend.  There are many great gift ideas out there that will work really well, but I have to tell you that the top things on my gift list this year are a set of adjustable dumbbells and a weight bench.  Why these things?  Simple, they wont take up a ton of room in my house and they will let me get rid of my gym membership (which will save me money and I will love you forever for that).

To get the best deals on exercise equipment the first thing that I would tell you to do is head over to Amazon.com.  They not only have fantastic prices but they also have costumer reviews.  This will help you decide what the best value is for your money.

Once you have decided on a specific model then you should comparison shop.  If you know the person well and they don’t mind getting quality used equipment then you should also check out Craig’s list, where you will find all kinds of great deals on exercise equipment.  Much of it has never been used or has been used very little.

Finally, when you are dealing with crazy type A personalities like me, your best bet is to ask them what they want.  Usually they will tell you.  And getting someone a gift that they will really like is the best gift of all!
