We have seen so many changes in 2020, including the way we work out. So, if you have fitness enthusiasts on your gift list, you may find it tricky this year to find the perfect present. A few things to consider might be:
- The type of exercise. Do they enjoy yoga, running, or maybe lifting?
- How they exercise. Do they work out alone or in a group?
- Where they exercise. Do they run the beach or the neighborhood? Do they prefer classes or working out at home?
- Competition and record keeping. Do they track all of their fitness accomplishments and goals? Are they training for a race or event?
- Level of fitness. Do they own their own equipment? Are they ready for an upgrade or addition to their routine? Are they just starting their fitness journey or is this their life’s passion?
