Fitness Inspired Gifts for Kids

If you’re racking your brain to think of gifts for your kids, why not check out these fitness-related gifts. They may inspire even the most sedentary of kids to be more active (and healthier – but don’t tell them that).

Similar to all the fuel bands, calorie counters, and activity monitors out there for adults, the Zamzee is the equivalent tech for kids. Clip it on like a pedometer and watch your points and rewards accumulate with the more activity you do. Kids can plug it into the computer to track how they are doing, be part of a community, and use the helpful handouts and activity suggestions available on the website. If your child is a gamer and loves the concept of virtual rewards this is the gift for her/him and it has been shown to increase physical activity in kids up to 59%.
