Rather than getting into the 'dieting' mindset, I think it's healthier to think of it as a lifestyle change, moving more, eating healthier food, looking at portion size yet not depriving myself. I know it all, I just need to put it into practice!
So here is my health and fitness wishlist for Christmas 2017.
Speedo Female Futura Biofuse 2 goggle £14.50 Simply Swim
Years ago I used to visit my local swimming pool, and I have been thinking of taking up swimming again. These swimming goggles from Speedo, fit your face well providing a tight fit to prevent water from getting in, whilst still being comfortable on.
Halocline Botanic Panel V back swimsuit £36 Simply Swim
I have chosen this swimsuit as it's chlorine-resistant and looks like it would stay in place through many lengths of the pool. The pattern along the side is pretty and helps to visually shape the waist, so it's flattering too. It also has a shelf bra for bust support.
Reflective print padded hooded top £49.50 Reflective print leggings £29.50 Marks and Spencer
Nike Miler running top £24.95 John Lewis
This breathable top by Nike with mesh panels has smooth flatlock seams and reflective elements. Simple, bright and fun, it's simply the perfect t-shirt for exercising and also looks great when worn with jeans.
Nike Metcon Repper DSX training shoe £62.47 Nike These Nike training shoe is perfect for cross training, if you are doing a variety of sport. You know you can always rely on the Nike brand for quality and I adore the black and pink design. A very stylish pair of trainers.
Fitbit Charge 2 £139.99 Argos
The Fitbit Charge 2 is a heart rate and fitness wristband. Tracking steps runs, cycle rides, calories burned and heart rate amongst other things, the band is connected to GPS and tracks your activity all day. Reminders to move are brilliant for couch potatoes like me. If you haven't got a fitness tracker like this I think you need one in your life if you are looking to motivate yourself to take more exercise.
So here is my health and fitness wishlist for Christmas 2017. Do you have any health and fitness goals for next year? What items are on your health and fitness wishlist for Christmas or into the New Year?

Having new workout gear really is motivating! Swimming is my favourite form of exercise so I can definitely vouch for the importance of a good pair of goggles, mine are from SwimFreak and I love them! My fitness goals for 2018 are to stick to a good home workout routine, fingers crossed I can do it!
ReplyDeleteI love having new workout gear! Swimming is such a great form of exercise, when I was a child I used to go swimming every Sunday in the local pool.
DeleteAn excellent list! I've asked Santa for a new FitBit and I love the M&S outfit, really stylish but it looks comfortable to exercise in too.
ReplyDeleteHope Santa brings you the FitBit!
DeleteI love that pink running top. I should get a Fitbit too although I'm not sure it has an 'inert' setting!
ReplyDeleteThat pink top is rather cool, and I know what you mean about the FitBit. I think it has a reminder setting, but that sounds like a nagging partner lol.
DeleteGreat list - it's my intention to get back to the gym again in January so I'll be in need of some new sportswear and equipment.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your resolutions Ali.
DeleteI nee to add some workout gear for sure to my list. I love the shoes, and I need some new shirts!
ReplyDeleteHope it has inspired you!
DeleteI love that swimsuit...I think I need that! X
ReplyDeleteI have just bought myself some new goggles and a swimsuit in time for some NY fitness
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy swimming for fitness but haven't been able to in a while as I have injured my knee. I suppose that's my health and fitness goal, to strengthen my leg muscles by swimming and be more active next year. x
ReplyDeleteI think swimming is such a great exercise, the water seems to be supportive and there is less risk of joint damage than exercises such as running.
