The 9 Best Fitness and Health Gifts:
1. Withings Body Cardio Scale
This isn’t just any old scale. The Withings Body Cardio Scale is an excellent device f
or measuring weight, body fat, body water percentage, muscle mass, and bone mass.
It should be a key part of your health-enthusiast’s bathroom because of its functionality and versatility; it can be used just as well on a hard floor or thick carpet. It’s Wi-Fi-enabled for connecting with the smartphone app to check and track progress.
2. BodyMetrics Circul Sleep and Fitness Ring
This is a wearable ring that tracks daily activity, readiness, and sleep information. It also tracks a ton of sleep-related indicators such as deep sleep, REM, respiratory rate, heart rate variability, and resting heart rate among several other things. The interface is excellent and is iOS and Android-compatible for app connectivity.
Approximately one-third of our lives are spent asleep, so tracking the quality of our sleep is incredibly important. Check out our article on how to burn calories while sleeping, if that’s something you’re interested in.
It comes in only two adjustable sizes, so there’s no need for complicated ring-size measurements.
3. Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor
The device serves the purpose of accurately monitoring your heart rate while engaging in activities like running, cycling, or any other type of exercise. It is also waterproof and can give you real-time heart rate statistics when you are training.
This is an excellent device for individuals at all levels of fitness. It can be tracked and managed from the iOS or Android app. It can also connect with compatible gym equipment to track activity, and comes with a calorie-burner calculator.
4. Apple Watch
This is undoubtedly the most well-known product on the list. Its stylish design makes it a go-to for tech-savvy buyers, but some of its fitness-related features make it a great option for health-nuts, too.
Being a sleek and functional watch, the Apple Watch can accurately measure your heart rate and activity level during exercises like running, yoga, and swimming. You can compete with friends and family who also use the fitness tracking capabilities on their watches.

5. Withings BPM Connect
This is a blood pressure monitor that measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate. It’s quite useful for periodically checking blood pressure.
The results appear automatically on the face of the product in an easy-to-read format, and has a green or red light to indicate a good or bad level. You can also sync the data over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the Health Mate app to keep track of your progress over an extended period of time.
One significant point in favor of this Withings product is that it’s multi-user friendly, meaning any family member or friend can use it as well.
6. Upright GO 2
This is a device that measures the quality of your posture and tracks improvements. If you know that you have a tendency to slouch from time to time, the Upright GO 2 can help you to fix this problem. It will gently vibrate when it senses that you are slouching.
The sleek minimalistic design also helps it blend with your everyday life. You can use this device in conjunction with the Upright Go smartphone app to track all kinds of helpful posture-related data. The data can be synced across all of your devices, making it that much easier to build healthier habits.
7. Dexcom G6
This is a continuous blood glucose monitor that measures blood sugar every five minutes with a patch instead of a finger-prick.
It’s not just for a person with diabetes, though. It can help a health-enthusiast understand their body’s reaction to various types of foods, since there is a ridiculous amount of sugar hidden in all kinds of supposedly healthy foods.
One thing to note with this item is that you will need a doctor’s prescription for the patches and sensors.
8. Nike Running Shoes
This is an extremely solid pair of women’s running shoes, but you can easily find the men’s version, if that’s who you’re buying the gift for.
The lightweight material makes it far more comfortable to run, with more air lowing through them. They are also water-resistant, so you can run in any weather and not worry about having soaking shoes. The shoes are also made to last in conjunction with them looking good.
These are seriously impressive shoes, and anyone looking to better their running or even just get started would love them. We have an article outlining our favorite women’s running shoes, and our favorite men’s running shoes, too!
9. Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Blue light from digital devices causes eye strain and can disrupt a proper sleep cycle. Blue light blocking glasses work to prevent these adverse effects, helping you rest easier and better overall.
Along with helping your sleep they also help to not put a strain on your eyes during the day. The padding on the glasses around the ears and nose also help the glasses to have a great level of comfort to them.
This particular pair comes in a 3-pack, and can fit over prescription glasses!
