Health authorities make a list of healthy holiday gift ideas
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The American Council on Exercise recommends giving loved ones healthy gifts for the holidays, such as jump ropes, heart rate monitors or even exercise DVDs.
A single 30-minute jump roping session at a moderate speed can burn approximately more than 250 calories for a 130-pound person and nearly 350 calories for a 150-pound person.
From aerobics, kickboxing and strength training to yoga, Pilates and tai-chi there's a workout video for every kind of fitness enthusiast.
Less bulky than dumbbells or weight sets and easily stored, resistance tubes help strengthen and build muscle.
A heart rate monitor is designed to help individuals more accurately track exercise intensity.
Working with a personal trainer has been shown to increase motivation as well as teach the most safe, efficient exercises.
