My ‘5 Golden’ series in the gift guide has been a hit so far. If you’ve missed the ‘5 Golden Stocking Stuffers’ or ‘5 Golden Gadgets’ go check them out.
In the meantime, I thought I’d do one for fitness. My goal in 6 months is a six-pack (don’t laugh). The great thing about that is I’m working out more but, I tend to get in a rut after repeating routines so, my trainer suggested that I mix it up a bit and it’s helped.
So, here’s a mixed bag of gift ideas to get fit and the great thing is that they are all on Amazon.com so it’s pretty much one stop shopping.
Aurorae Classic Yoga Mat – Available @Amazon.com — $35.00
This is the perfect mat for a yoga enthusiast or even a beginner like myself. I just started trying to get into yoga and I’m glad I’m doing it on a quality mat. I also love the vibrant colors.

Yoga Mat Bag by Gecko Active – Available @ Amazon.com — $36.89
Now you have the mat so you’re going to need the fashionable yet practical yoga bag. It also happens to be the #1 Amazon Customer Rated Yoga bag. I only bring you the best.
The Gecko Active mat bag is handmade with the highest quality and double-lined with 100% durable cotton canvas. Measuring at 27″ long by 6.5″ diameter, it’s big enough to fit any size yoga mat(including the Aurorae mat listed above), plus all your yoga gear too. It’s also a beautiful bag. I have the white (Lotus) one but, the black and lime one are just as wonderful.
