Words to Sweat By

For the fitness junkie in your life, a little motivation never hurts.

Holiday Gift Guide: Fit to a T

For those constantly traveling, the urge to work out is usually a casualty. That’s why constant reminder, in the form of cute shirts and exercise accessories, is a fun idea for the holidays.

Help your giftee kick off that New Year’s resolution to get in shape with some motivational words. The inspirational and fun “Words to Sweat By”  sports some powerful words of wisdom with funny phrases like “There will be no jiggle in my wiggle,” or a simple, “Put your heart into it.” The phrases are placed on must-have fitness accessories like workout towels and sweat bands, naturally, for some extra encouragement.

I’m also a fan of the fitted T-shirts and tanks, which remind you to always stay hydrated, among other bright ideas. They’re cotton, super soft and work well with a pair of jeans or a pair of gym shorts. For an ideal gift, opt for a holiday package for easy gift -giving: the collection comes in a reusable tote bag. Individuals come in a colored organza bag.

For smaller stocking stuffers, consider the key chains/zipper pulls (for a new gym bag?), carrying the same inspirational messages in a variety of colors; $4.
