  There is no shortage of gifts available for active moms. Depending on their interests, books, jewelry, clothing and various other accessories can all be tailored to fit the persona of a fitness-oriented individual. Active moms can often be very busy people, and the best gifts will be something accordingly suited to time restrictions.
  
  

Accessories

• Many accessories are inspiring and useful gifts for active moms. Wristwatches with a stopwatch feature will allow for active moms to time their workouts and help measure distance and speed. Another related idea is to buy a squeeze ball for use during idle hours. Finally, a musical device such as an MP3 player can enhance daily workouts for those inclined to use music during their fitness endeavors.
  
  

Pilates and Yoga

• Active moms may also have a distinct interest in fitness programs such as pilates or yoga, which emphasize the links between mental and physical wellness, and attributes such as flexibility and stability. A great way to inspire interest would be to buy a gift certificate to free lessons at a local studio. However, instructional tapes and mats can be bought in package deals and workouts can be completed at home.
  
  

Workout Machines

• There are various abdominal machines that improve body weight and core muscle strength. In addition, treadmills, elliptical machines and stationary bikes are excellent for active moms who live in an area that receives frequent inclement weather. Basic weightlifting machines come in all varieties of shapes and sizes, from focusing on bicep strength to hamstring strength.
  
  

Clothing

• Clothing for active moms will depend upon the climate in which she normally lives. In cooler weather, running tights and turtlenecks can help make winter fitness far less daunting. However, various running tops and shorts can be found at any local outlet store or specialty fitness store.
