MyFitnessPal 2013 Health & Fitness Gift Guide

Put a bib on and drool over this list of gadgets and goodies for the health-and-wellness seeker in your life!

At MyFitnessPal HQ we’ve managed to sail through the season with our scales unscathed (so far – fingers crossed). Yes, we’ve indulged on occasion but we’ve dutifully tracked our exercises and logged our eating in MyFitnessPal.

Between bites of our Registered Dietitian Elle’s scrumptious remixed Sausage-Egg Nests, we’ve been trading notes about the health and fitness gadgets and gifts that are on our own holiday wish lists.

If you’re looking for gift ideas for the health-and-wellness seeker in your life, we’ve got you covered! Check out this drool-worthy list of 13 must-have health and fitness gifts, both high-tech and low.
