equipment to
clothing and shoes,
a gift from
Moosejaw will be a
hit with any age.
RE1 carries all
kinds of gear for hik-
ers, climbers and win-
ter sports enthusiasts.
They have snowboards
for kids and adults, a full
line of skis and a host of
other warm and cold
weather outdoor fitness equipment.
Dick's carries bikes, skateboards
and in-line skates for kids and
adults. For those with a
new baby, pick out a
jogging stroller ($200-
$300).
Dunham's has a
tremendous selection
of apparel, shoes,
exercise equipment
and more. Pick a
sport and Dunham's
can outfit and acces-
sorize. I found bowling
balls ($30-$60), hockey
equipment, tennis racquets ($60-
$200+), golf clubs and skateboards
— from the Yu-Gi-Oh Monster
Complete Skateboard ($35) to the
MBS Atom Urban
Cruiser
Longboard
($150).
Dunham's car-
ries full-size home
gyms, free-weights
and exercise bench-
es. There's also box-
ing equipment,
including a "heavy
bag" ($50-$120),
"speed bag" ($30-$60)
and boxing gloves
($15).
Still looking for ideas? How
about a yoga mat
($15-$30) or
maybe a heart rate
monitor ($50-
$300, depending
on bells and whis-
tles). Therabands
($15) are quite
popular and are
like having a gym
in your pocket!
Lightweight,
squishable and easy
to pack for a busi-

ness trip, the Theraband
works on improving
endurance and strength
range of motion and
flexibility The colorful
bands come in differen t
lengths and levels of
resistance and can be
found at most sport-
ing goods stores.
Still not sure? Put
together a fitness basket with a
Theraband, yoga mat and Pilates
video.
Motivate the friend who finds it
difficult with a short-term fitness
club gift certificate. Powerhouse
Gym offers memberships for
one month ($59), three
months ($159), six
months ($279) or a
year ($459); and
there's no initiation
fee.
For the chef on
your list, the Cooking
Light Annual Recipes
book is a great resource
for healthy dishes that are
not too complicated and taste just
as good as their higher calorie
counterparts. This book (2005
comes out in January)
has all of the recipes
contained in the past
year's magazines. There
are plenty of photos
and suggestions for
side dishes and wine.
For those on Weight
Watchers, the book's
detailed listing of
fat grams, fiber and
calories per serv-
ing allows you to
easily calculate
points. Try Amazon.com or Costco
for a good price on this book.
Improved fitness is a gift that
anyone can use. It's really the gift
that keeps giving. After all, who
doesn't want to look better,
have more energy and be
healthier?
Now that you've
thought about everyone
on your list, why not
enjoy the benefits of
improved fitness
yourself? This holi-
day season, treat
yourself to a gift of
health, too!
