With the holidays around the corner, there are tons of great gift ideas out there. When you consider fitness equipment and gear, the ideas are endless. You can go with small gifts like dumbbells or more elaborate equipment like a treadmill.
The key is finding something that fits the person, whether you are purchasing a gift or buying something for yourself. So much fitness equipment just sits there. Too often people get some inspiration, and then reality sets in and you end up with an expensive clothes rack.
One this to consider is a basketball hoop for the home. Basketball is one of the best games out there for cardio health and people of all ages can play. Kids love the sport and many will play for hours with their friends. That sure beats having them sitting around playing video games all day!
It’s also a great option for those of us who are now older who struggle to find the time to get our cardio exercise time. It’s so easy to just pick up a basketball and start playing, whether it’s with kids or old friends who used to love to play when they were younger. Of course you need to be careful as you get older. Make sure you put on good basketball shoes and remember to stretch and warm up. But once you start playing regularly you’ll feel so much better.
If you shop around you find all sorts of options for basketball backboards and hoops. It’s obviously easier if you’re buying this for yourself or your own kids, as you know what best fits your home. But if you do some research you can find out what best fits for your grand kids or others on your list.
So think about something that everyone can enjoy that won’t be wasted. A basketball hoop is always a great option.
