Leslie Sansone is the walk at home expert. If you want to give a gift to someone who prefers to work out at home but they are just beginning a routine – getting one of Leslie’s DVDs is a great gift! If your grandparent loves to walk but just feels that he or she doesn’t get out enough, especially if they live in a climate or area that has extremes (too hot, too cold, too icy, unsafe neighborhood, too much traffic…) this is the gift that will enable them to walk without having to deal with the concerns of their environment.

Leslie’s DVDs are really tailored to anyone who has an interest in working out, and are so easily tailored to any fitness level. If you know anyone who wants to burn calories and reap the rewards of exercise, this is a great gift. All they need is just a tiny bit of space and a way to play a DVD and they are all set. No fancy equipment, nothing to set up – just pop it in and go. And the DVDs are really easy to follow and they really get your heart-rate pumping!

None of the DVDs are expensive so you could buy just one or may even be able to afford to give them a “set” so they can rotate their workouts. Either way, as one or many, your thoughtfulness – if you choose this gift for the right person (the person who would like to be able to “walk” in the comfort of their own home, minus the expensive treadmill) – is a gift in and of itself.

Happy Gifting!

Fitness Gifts Series: Part 4

The Gift Detective — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:04:22 +0000

You and your best friend work out together; your spouse is the one you try out fun new workouts with to keep each other motivated; your mom really is your best friend now and you talk about weight loss tips and new things you want to try – whoever your motivator is, the person who gets up and goes with you to the gym bright and early in the morning, even on the weekends, the person who shares and supports your endeavors to have a more healthy lifestyle…reward that person with a fun fitness gift!

Gaiam Kettlenetics Slim and Tone Kit

I originally saw this new workout featured on ThisNext, then I also saw it on Amazon and Gaiam as well. I was intrigued so I researched a bit more and found a video with samples of the workout and the story behind how it was created here. (the best price when I last checked was at Amazon – no surprise there, right? – which is why I post so many links to them!)

No matter who your workout buddy is (unless of course it is your dog!), a gift like this would serve to remind them how much you appreciate them and how thankful you are to share the experience with them and the positive support you give one another.

A really fun way to give this present? You work out together right? Open the box and invite them over (or bring it to them) to do the workout together. Wrap up the empty box and when you guys are done working out and drinking your tea and having a post-workout chat, give them the box to unwrap and watch closely when they realize that you’ve introduced them to a fun new workout that they can keep.

You know your fitness friend pretty well so before you get this gift, consider whether it is really something that they would enjoy and be able to use, because not everybody who loves fitness and exercise will enjoy this particular type of program. This is the type of gift that will be most enjoyed by someone who likes cardio, body sculpting, two-in-one workouts with an element of dance. The recipient should also enjoy working out at home and enjoy workout DVDs for this to be considered a good gift for them.

Happy gifting!

The Story of St. Patrick’s Day

The Gift Detective — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:33:06 +0000

There are the people who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (going to the pub for a pint?) and the Irish who celebrate St. Patricks Day (going to the pub for a pint and proud of your ancestry all year long!). This DVD is a gift for the latter.

DVD Available HERE
The Story of St. Patrick’s Day DVD, done by A&E/The History Channel, examines the modern day celebrations by delving into the past of the real St. Patrick who inspired the holiday.

This is a great gift for someone who loves history and learning about their heritage. Make this gift even better by sitting and watching this with them! Pop some popcorn and sit down and enjoy this DVD as a family. Listen to the grandparents reminisce, teach the kids something about their lineage and learn something yourself…this is a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday and it also gives you the gift of being closer with your loved ones.
