Cheaper than the Nike Fuelband, the Polar Activity Loop is waterproof, compatible with Polar H6 and H7 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensors and syncs with the Polar Flow Mobile app. It’s more than a pedometer, it’s a trainer on the go.

2. Rumble Roller Beastie Hook – $27.95

3. The Rumble Roller Foam Roller – $49.95

Similarly for people who want to bring the massage therapist home, the rumble roller is a great present for people will more severe back pains. The surface of the RumbleRoller contains specially designed bumps that are firm, but flexible, much like the thumbs of a massage therapist. As you roll over the top of the RumbleRoller, the bumps continuously knead the contours of your body, gently stretching soft tissue (muscle and fascia) in multiple directions. This action erodes trigger points, helps restore flexibility, and brings quick relief to common types of muscular pain. By design, the RumbleRoller’s bumps are firmer than muscle tissue, but much softer than bone, so they deflect out of the way if they contact your spine or other bony protrusions.
