Best Fitness Gift: Wii
Popular since a couple of years, Wii is the best gift to get and give. Though the gift isn't meant for the grave athlete, but it's certainly appealing to the common man. Well equipped with the balance board and software, the Wii serves the dual purpose of fun and functionality. The exercise software includes easy yoga poses in Wii Fit, strenuous aerobic in My Fitness Coach, extensive cardio in Gold Gym's Cardio Workout and many more.

Well if you're wondering how a personal trainer could qualify as a sport gift, you're sure in for a surprise. Check out Garmin's hi-tech collection of sleek and stylish personal trainers. The Forerunner 310XT, "a GPS-enabled trainer that is water-resistant to 50m, tracks bike and run data and sends it wirelessly to your computer. This multi-sport device has up to 20 hours of battery life, tracks distance, pace and heart rate (optional), and goes from wrist to bike in seconds." It's a perfect fitness gift choice for avid runner!
