I know all about the importance of being healthy, after I lost 100 pounds a few years ago, but one of the hardest things for me still is finding the motivation to work out. Typically, I use calorie-tracking apps to keep eating healthy and fitness apps to make sure I keep working out but every once in a while I still need some extra motivation.
When I was Christmas shopping the other day, I suddenly realized: what about getting MYSELF a little extra Holiday present? That's why I'm eyeing one of these 5 fitness gifts that are sure to motivate anyone to get in shape. In fact, I think I'd like all of these in order to keep me going as I work out this winter and upcoming year. Take a look and get some added motivation to exercise for weight loss.

Oakley Shine Support Tank
The magic of a good sports bra is VERY important if you're thinking about doing any kind of exercise. The beauty of this particular tank, though, is that it's tight where it needs to be but then it's a little loose around the tummy, which I absolutely LOVE for my fitness dance classes (like Zumba).
Available on Oakley.com, $56.
Nike+ Fuelband
I'm a fan of some of Nike's products (like their great running app), which is why I was even more impressed by this band. It helps you track your exercise throughout the day and even set goals in order to keep yourself motivated to keep going further.
Available on Nike.com, $150.
Sportline Solo 925 Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Monitoring your heart rate is important if you want to keep it firlmy in between the "fat burning zone" (which you can calculate here) but I hate doing it with a bulky, ugly watch. That's why I got this pretty pink lightweight version that I can't stop using.
Available on BestBuy.com, $80.
Gaiam Balance Ball Chair
What's easier than working out your abs while doing the everday activity of sitting? I seriously want one of these for the office because I just can't imagine a better way to get toned while I am doing my daily work. Yup, this one's definitely a winner!
Available on Gaiam.com, $80.
Arc'teryx Women's Corbela Dress
I'm one of those girls that just HAS to look stylish while working out. I'm a huge fan of dresses and I absolutely fell in LOVE with this fitness dress, which I now wear all the time when I go running or walking around the block for exercise.
Available on Amazon.com, $50.
