My Top 10 Holiday Gifts For The Exercise Enthusiast

-
If you have someone on your shopping list for the holidays that is an exercise enthusiast here are some suggestions for some unique gift ideas!
  1. A fitness or activity tracker.  Most people who workout regularly would love one of these if they do not already have one.  The Fitbit and Garmin are both top rated activity trackers.  
  2. Lumo Run and Lumo Lift are products that are fun and helpful for running and everyday life.  Lumo Run helps you work on your running form while Lumo Lift helps you correct your posture throughout the day.  They can be found at http://www.lumobodytech.com
  3. Recovery tools such as a foam roll, the stick, Compex - muscle stimulator Compex
  4. Gift certificates from companies such as Lululemon or REI are always a great choice!
  5. A nice water bottle such as Hydroflask.  These are great but slightly expensive so people don't typically splurge on something like this for themselves so they are great to give as a gift.  
  6. FlipBelt. This belt fits snugly to the waist and can hold all of your workout necessities (iPhone/iPod, cash, and keys). The moisture-wicking spandex-lycra blend ensures it will stay put during the most active workouts.
  7. Portable or at home exercise equipment such as TRX Suspension Training, exercise bands, or a weight block that has multiple weights in one block.  
  8. Safety gear for the outdoor person is always a good bet.  Items like Road ID help identify a person in case of an accident if they are out biking, running or hiking.  Reflective gear is great for the person who is biking, running or walking in the dark hours. 
  9. Gift certificates for a sports massage is always a great bet.  Not many people don't like a massage.  If you want to make it unique get them a massage such as a Thai Massage something they have not tried before.  Don't forget the best massage therapist in Las Vegas is ME! And I do Thai Massage it is a great massage for athletic people because it is a lot of stretching and compressions.  
  10. Every year I sell a ton of my Recovery Salts for Christmas.  These are great for people who workout a lot.  They contain Epsom Salt and essential oils.  I also have blends that contain Dead Sea Salt and Epsom Salt with the essential oils.  They are great for sore muscles and relaxation. Coach Cyndee Recovery Salts

The Ironman Tattoo

I wanted to talk about the Ironman Tattoo . I am a fan of tattoos and actually have a few. I have completed 4 Ironman races and DON'T have an Ironman tattoo. I hope I don't offend anyone reading this who does have the tattoo. I feel the need to express my opinion (that is surely a surprise)! If you are one of the many with the tattoo please keep in mind I say all this in fun and I will still like you even if you have one. I might make fun of you but I like you. You might ask, what I have against the Ironman tattoo? I think there should be a disclaimer that a person has to sign when they get an Ironman tattoo. They should have to agree to complete an Ironman at least every five years for the rest of their life. If they don't agree to that they should not be able to get one! Too many people get the tattoo and then suddenly stop training and get fat. If you do one Ironman and get the tattoo then suddenly don't workout are you still an Ironman ? Then some people ...

Triathletes - to spin or not to spin?

-
You would think being a spin instructor I would tell everyone to take spin classes. Well the triathlon coach side of me will tell you something different. Spin classes are great for some people but not triathletes. There are many different reasons why triathletes should not take spin classes to improve their bike endurance. Some important reasons are listed below: Most spin instructors NEVER ride outside and would not know how to design a workout specifically for a triathlete. Even if they did most people would find it really boring. Spin classes are typically fast, high intensity, high aerobic effort. When you are just beginning to build your endurance on the bike you should do some training at a lower intensity. People flock to spin classes because they love the fast pace, group environment, specific music each instructor chooses, and they love to sweat. You will get ZERO bike handling skills. How will you learn to maneuver your bike if you are never outside on it? You need to get th...

Tools To Help You Swim

  I've been coaching people in the pool for over 15 years.  I have coached people who were advanced swimmers and people who didn't know how to swim at all.  I recommend every person who swims regularly to use swim equipment.  Swimming equipment will help you improve your swim and also break it up so it's not so boring.  Here is a list of equipment and reasons why I recommend each piece of equipment.  Pool Buoy - this goes between your legs and will help you focus on your stroke because you will not have to kick at all and the buoy will help your legs stay afloat.   Amazon - pool buoy Fins - fins are great to help beginner swimmers. It will make learning to swim a little easier.  Fins are also great to use to do drills.  Drills are important for beginner and advanced swimmers.  They help swimmers focus on certain aspects of the stroke.   Amazon Fins Kick Board - kick boards are used to practice your kick and I also have new...
