    2. Heart-Rate Monitor
    The gal who is looking to get in serious shape will love this heart-rate monitor, which helps track her fitness progress and the number of calories she has burned. It's effective without all the intimidating bells and whistles. The pink color is pretty cute, too.

    3. Gym Beauty Organizer

    We dig this durable beauty organizer for its zillion pockets, ideal for storing all the shower stuff needed after those morning gym sessions. Make this gift extra special by stocking it with mini-shampoo, hair elastics, moisturizer and more.

    4. Touch-Screen-Friendly Gloves

    File under "genius": These fitted gloves have touch-screen-sensitive tips on the thumbs and forefingers, so she can change up her tunes mid-winter-workout without freezing her fingers off.

    5. Dance Games

    Dancing is proof that working out doesn't have to suck. Get her moving with one of these dance-workout video games. Plus, let her know you're down for two-player mode.

    6. Recycled Fabric Sneakers

    Besides being one of the lightest sneakers she'll ever put on, the upper portion of these shoes is made from 95 percent recycled PET plastic bottles, which means they're as good for the environment as they are for her feet.

    7. Cycling Hoodie

    Once she puts on this merino wool hoodie, she'll never want to take it off (we live in ours!). The high neck and thumb loops will keep her warm and cozy on the bike, and the cool styling details ensure she'll look cute when she hops off.

    Fit chicks have to drink a lot of water to stay healthy-and this jug makes hydration extra tasty. Drop any fruit into the pitcher and voila: fruit-flavor-infused water in minutes.

    14. Spinning Gift Pack

    One reason New Yorkers are so crazy about Spinning mecca Soul Cycle is the attention a detail that comes standard with every class. One of those newest details is this Jonathan Adler-designed candle that makes even the sweatiest studio smell like citrus yumminess. We like to think it creates the same work-hard atmosphere anywhere.

    15. Digital Fitness Tracker
    It'll count her steps, track her calories, decode her sleep cycle-what doesn't the FitBit Ultra do? (OK, it won't do the dishes or walk the dog, true.) But for a gal who makes getting-and staying-healthy her number-one priority, this rules.

    18. Mat Sling

    We loved how instantly prettified our mats looked in these functional mat slings. Such a cute stocking-stuffer for the yoga girl who has everything!
