When and How To Give a Fit Gift

I remember one Christmas my sister was hoping for some new watch as a gift from my parents. She was so disappointed to find an exercise bike under the tree with her name on it. Needless to say, the bike didn't get used much.
Anyway, I still think giving the gift of fitness is a grate idea, but just make sure your friend or loved one has expressed interest in the subject. Relatives tend to drop hints on these things or at least ask for advice what gym you join. If you have heard someone say how much they would love to try a private session of Pilate's - get them a gift certificate. If your sister thinks having a personal trainer sounds cool - purchase a session with a trainer at her gym for her. If your best friend keeps saying she wants to go to yoga with you, buy her a package of classes at your favorite yoga studio.
Gift certificates are an easy gift to buy and most of the time they fit!
