Perfect gifts for gym rats this festive season

MIAMI - As the holiday season is approaching, we've rounded up the best gift ideas for all your favorite gym rats - from Weekend Warriors to barre lovers.

Apple watch Nike sport band

Functional and cool, the Nike sport band for your Apple watch features compression-molded perforations for breathability and a light, flexible material. It moves comfortably when you're sweating but it's strong enough to stay put.

Mirai Clinical's CBD bath bombs

These aren't your ordinary bath bombs. They're infused with CBD (cannabidiol) oil, Epsom salts, and kaolin clay to soothe aching muscles after a grueling CrossFit workout. The essential oils help you get mellow and there's no synthetic dyes, artificial fragrances or other preservatives. And yes, they're totally legal.

Stackable resistance bands

The easiest way to sneak in a solid workout at home or in your hotel. Black Mountain Products' lightweight resistance bands range from 2-4 pounds (0.90-1.81 kg) to 25-30 pounds of resistance. The set comes with a door anchor, metal clip system, soft-grip handles and a lifetime warranty.

Tom Brady's book

Love him or loathe him, there's no denying that this quarterback is still winning games at an age when many others are retiring. Brady shares in his book, The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance, his holistic approach to staying in shape physically and mentally, breaking down everything from his diet and training regimen to brain games. The book also explains Brady's stance on muscle pliability and provides exercises, shopping lists and supplement suggestions.

Fit Mama leggings

Forget Lululemon. These are hands down the most comfortable, best fitting workout pants you'll ever own. Fit Mama is bringing back her limited edition Pray for Houston and SOS Venezuela leggings during the holidays. This gift does double duty as a portion of the proceeds will go to charity. The Houston leggings raised nearly $12,000 for the Center of Philanthropy.

Enso silicone rings

Metal wedding bands can be a serious drag. They pinch your finger when you're lifting weights, slide all over the place during sweaty yoga and can cause major stress when you have to hide them in your gym locker. These silicone rings are comfortable, flexible and durable. The stackables come in fun colors and finishes. Keep extras in the car for last-minute workouts.
