...a yoga mat

Yoga mats are not just for yoga anymore! A nice thick durable mat can be used for any type of exercise where a person might rather not lay on the bare floor. The reason I suggest a yoga mat is that the mats roll up nicely and can be stored in a corner or a closet without taking up much space.

Make your gift extra special by purchasing a mat with a shoulder strap or it's own bag, which will not only keep the mat rolled up and clean but will also make the mat portable and easier to take to a class or to the "Workout Buddy's" (See the 11th day ) I often teach fitness classes at a variety of locations, and I'm able to bring about 8 mats because they travel so easily. I love my little collection of mats!

And...they come in lots of different colors and some have awesome patterns  :) How fun is that?!

Mats can be purchased just about anywhere these days. Make sure the mat is thick enough to offer adequate padding. Plus a thicker mat won't fall apart and obviously will last longer  :)

Tomorrow is the 6th day of Christmas-wow. Christmas Day is one week from today!  I hope my gift suggestions are making your shopping a tiny bit better this year!
