The gift that keeps giving

Earlier this week, during the 12 Days of Fitness, you may have read a blog about why Personal Training has been so impactful for me. I firmly believe that everyone has a unique path to their best self. For me, I need a little bit of that push, that discipline, and regularity in my schedule. My short attention span can be wrangled in to focus on specific exercises and pushing myself further. Now, we are in the season of giving. I have found it to be a little bit difficult to wrap my head around spending money on myself when I am supposed to be buying meaningful gifts for others.

Personally, my Christmas list consist of socks from Costco and gift cards to the gym. I also casually asked for a puppy. However, that request is quite obviously more in jest. Today is a big day though. The 12 Days of Fitness offering is 20% off gift cards! I will admit my parents received a screenshot of that email – just in case they needed any last minute ideas. I have looked at my spending during the last 12 days of promotions as an investment in myself. It is an investment in my health and happiness. I am not really sure you can put a price on that. The flexibility that the gift card offers me is endless. I can put those funds towards pilates, smoothies, or additional personal training sessions with Nate.

I know I have already encouraged all of you to give yourself the opportunity to find the work-out that works for you. If you weren’t quite sold on the benefits of personal training; the purchase of a gift card allows you to apply it towards different things. It offers you the opportunity to find what works best for you and spice up your routine. Perhaps, it could apply towards a service that you already know and love. On the other hand, maybe you know someone who wants to join or try a new type of activity. In my personal opinion, the gift of health and fitness would be a sure thing under the Christmas Tree this year.
