Well, if you happen to have a fitness fanatic on your list, rest easy. We’ve rounded up exercise essentials that go the, ahem, extra mile to take workouts from grueling to...okay, still grueling, but a fun, endorphin-boosting kind of grueling. Whether you’re browsing for a dance cardio queen or a distance-training badass who gets their daily run in come rain or shine, these fitness-minded finds will help your BFFs work it out in style.

Whether your pal is headed out for a bike ride or trekking to the grocery store (hey, every step counts), this handy cross-body pouch is ready for the trip. It’s big enough to fit their phone, keys, and a few other essentials, but not so massive that it will weigh them down while they're on the move. Bonus: It’s also reflective and water-resistant, so neither darkness nor rain will keep your bestie from getting active.

If ankle weights sound hopelessly ’80s to you, think again: these stretchy bands (for ankles or wrists) are actually sleek AF. Clocking in at one pound each (and available in a range of cute shades), they’ll turn up the intensity of a pilates or barre workout enough to tone your target zones pronto, but not so much that they drag you down.

Know a fan of yoga, HIIT, Pilates, or all of the above? Here's a yoga mat they'll go wild for. Why? They can put this thing down, flip it, and reverse it: one side of the pad absorbs moisture to increase stability during sweaty workouts, while the other side offers cushiony support. It’s also treated with an antimicrobial agent that prevents mold and mildew from setting up camp on your mat.
