The best Valentine's Day gifts are those that show you put some thought into what's important to your sweetheart. Is your valentine trying to improve his health? Is she working hard to lose weight? Don't sabotage their efforts with candy or a steak dinner! Why not show your support with a thoughtful gift that helps them reach their health and weight loss goals? Here are some healthy gift ideas:
1. New Workout Outfit - Encourage your valentine's commitment to fitness with hot new workout clothes. Whether it's running tights, yoga clothes, or a special T-shirt, your valentine will think of you every time they put on their new outfit.
2. Personal Training Session - Is your valentine a gym rat? Maybe he would appreciate a one-on-one with a personal trainer to add variety and challenge to his workout. A gift certificate for a personal training session at the gym he belongs to would be best so he can choose the personal trainer he feels comfortable with.
3. Exercise Video or DVD - Does your valentine prefer to work out at home? She'll love a new video or DVD in the same genre as what she currently moves to. Check out her current favorites before you shop. She'll appreciate your thoughtfulness.
4. Massage - Reward your valentine's efforts with a massage session. Massage has been used for centuries to reduce stress and purify toxins from the body.
5. Healthy Cooking Class - Does your valentine love to cook? Has he or she made a commitment to cook healthier meals? Scout out a healthy cooking class in your area. Even better, take a series of cooking lessons together!
6. Nintendo Wii Fit - The Wii Fit is the hot new fitness machine. With modules for yoga, strength training, aerobics, and balance, you won't believe how much fun the two of you can have exercising at home. Choose at least one game that you can do together - you'll laugh and sweat at the same time!
7. Healthy Gift Basket - Search online under healthy gift basket and a myriad of options come up to please any valentine. On a budget? You can make your own healthy gift basket with your valentine's favorite snack bars, fresh fruit, healthy nuts, and whole grain crackers.
8. Sound Machine - Studies have proven that adequate, high quality sleep is essential for optimal health and maintaining a healthy weight. Help your valentine get the beauty sleep she needs with a sound machine (also called a white noise machine).
9. iTunes Gift Card - Are you a last minute shopper? If your valentine listens to music on his Ipod while working out he'll appreciate an ITunes gift card. You can even download one on-line and have it emailed to him. For an extra thoughtful package, make a quick trip to the mall for an Ipod case that he can strap on while he works out.
10. Healthy Restaurant Gift Certificates - Show your valentine you hope to share many dinners out with a package of gift certificates for healthy restaurants in your area. Explore some new cuisines together and show him you want to be his partner in his journey to get healthy.
Be creative and thoughtful this Valentine's Day. Choose a gift that shows your loved one you support their commitment to health and weight loss.
