There are a lot more ladies out there lifting heavy weights than there used to be, especially with the growing popularity of crossfit and the #strongnotskinny movement. Ladies are finally realising that heavy weights don’t have to mean bulky muscles, that if you build up strong lean muscles you will improve your metabolism, burn more fat and generally sculpt your body to look healthy and toned. If the lady you are buying for is lifting, she probably knows a thing or two about fitness, she has done her research. Have a look at these gift ideas for the strong lady in your life!
Nike ‘fearless’ t-shirt, £25
Lovely soft material – looks great layered with a tank or on its own. Also nice for those a bit self-conscious and like to cover up a bit but still look cool.

Adidas training gloves, £9.50 reduced from £19
There are plenty of training gloves out there – but these are a bit different from all the rest…and we like pink. If she isn’t a pink type of chick they also do these in silver and black. They are lovely and bring a feminine edge to something practical… this will help protect her hands from hurting or getting blisters while doing weights.
Smartshake protein shaker, £8.34
Protein shakes are not just for the boys and there are protein powders out there suitable for a girl that works out and does weight training. Get her a lovely protein shaker like one of these for her to enjoy her post workout shake (we like the Smartshake Original Neon Yellow but here are lots more colours to choose from).
Nike textured foam roller, £30
Looking after your muscles after your workout is so important. Using a roller is so amazing and a valuable tool to use – it helps assist recovery, soothe muscle pains, increase circulation… all sorts! This roller is lovely looking! A lot nicer than the one I have at home!
Aromatherapy Associates: De-Stress Muscle Bath and Shower Oil, £40
A bit of luxury – for wellbeing and also muscle care all rolled into one. Aromatherpay associates is quite expensive but for good reason. The quality is fabulous and packed with essential oils to help sooth body and mind. Essential oils are made up of tiny molecules which absorb very easily into the skin making them very effective for treatment of the body as well as the therapeutic effect on the mind.

A super lightweight and breezy vest with a light pink logo that’s perfect for hard sweats at the gym, whether you’re doing crossfit or weights. It rolls up small so is easy to pack and dries easily.
