Holiday Gifts for the Athlete in all of us

Just a few items that you may want to buy for the athlete in your life or add to your own wish list for the gift giving season.  I will say that I have not tried any of these personally but I know I wouldn't mind finding them in my stocking.  Yes, this list is skewed a little toward women.  Hey, I write what I know.

For the stat loving athlete on your list:
Nike FuelBand ($149): Tracks your every movement and calculates calories burned, steps taken and more.  The band also has a watch feature and you can sync it to your smartphone with the NikeConnect software.  Its a lot nicer looking than your average Garmin too.

 

Kinetic Bike Trainer ($349):  A great, easy option in the winter for keeping up with your bike mileage.  This model has a feature that when you change speeds, the resistance adjusts automatically from 5 to 3,000 watts

 

Road Machine Fluid Bike Trainer

 Under Armour ColdGear Leggings ($49):  Frankly, anything ColdGear from Under Armour is a great gift for a winter runner, male or female.  

For the not-so-flexible athlete (which would be most tri-athletes/runners/cyclists, we don't do enough flexibility work!):
Zenzation Premium Yoga Mat $30), Restore 12 inch foam roller($24), Yoga for Athletes DVD ($10.99)

Alex and Ani charm bracelet ($28):  I have personally asked for this but there are plenty of pretty, inspiring options.

And if you just happen to have 16 grand to blow, buy your athlete a bike that will make them droool:

Colnago C-59 Disc bike

For all you water lovers out there that want to make the time fly by in the pool (I do have the older version of this and I love it):
Nu Technology Waterproof Mp3 Player ($81)

Anyone else have any good gift ideas?  Comment please!  I am always looking for new things.
