When Is Exercise Equipment an Appropriate Gift?

A few years ago, a Christmas advertisement for an exercise bike went viral for all the wrong reasons. In it, a husband gifted his wife the bike, who recorded herself exercising and talking about the workouts. Later, she showed him the video compilation. Many viewers thought the surprise exercise equipment was a bad gift, and the recorded video responses were strange.

You don’t want to repeat that strangeness in your own life. Sometimes, though, exercise equipment is a great gift. Keep reading to learn when exercise equipment is an appropriate gift and how to gift it right.

When They Ask for It

This is probably the most obvious answer. When people ask for something specific on their holiday wish list, you should get it for them, even if it’s exercise equipment. Some pieces of exercise equipment are expensive, and people don’t want to spend that type of money on themselves, even if they want it. Gifting them the equipment they so desperately want is a great way to make the holidays extra special.

When They Need It

Predicting the health needs of other people is complicated. You shouldn’t overstep boundaries and buy people exercise equipment you think they need without consulting them first. However, if they’ve discussed getting fit or said that they need a piece of equipment, you can safely assume that this equipment is a good gift. People with chronic conditions like COPD need thoughtful gifts like this to maintain their health. Gifting them something they need to stay healthy is a good way to show that you care.

How To Gift It

Whether they ask for it or you safely determine that they need it, exercise equipment is hard to wrap and gift. Instead of attempting to wrap those large boxes, assemble the equipment the night before they’re supposed to open it. That way, they come down the stairs or around the corner and see the surprise. If the equipment is small enough, like a new pair of weights, you can still put them in a box and wrap them.

People who are self-conscious about their health journey may not want to open equipment in front of others. Take this into consideration and gift them the equipment privately. If it’s a big piece of equipment, offer to assemble it privately, too.

Knowing when exercise equipment is an appropriate gift is delicate. You can confidently gift someone this equipment if they’ve asked for it or you understand their need for it. Help assemble any large pieces of equipment and encourage them to start using it as soon as possible.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivers a message on Human Rights Day: “ 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.' The iconic opening sentence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is as important today as it was when it was adopted 75 years ago. The Universal Declaration is a roadmap, helping to end wars, heal divisions and promote lives of peace and dignity for all. But the world is losing its way. Conflicts are raging. Poverty and hunger are increasing. Inequalities are deepening. The climate crisis is a human rights crisis that is hitting the most vulnerable hardest. Authoritarianism is on the rise. Civic space is shrinking and the media is under attack from all sides. Gender equality remains a distant dream and women’s reproductive rights are being rolled back. Today, it is more important than ever to promote and respect all human rights – social, cultural, economic, civil and political – which protect us all. The Universal Declaration shows the way to common values and approaches that can help resolve tensions and create the security and stability our world craves. As we work to update global frameworks and make them more effective in the 21 st century, human rights must have a unique and central role. I call on Member States to use this 75 th anniversary, and the Summit of the Future next year, to strengthen their commitment to the timeless values of the Universal Declaration. And on Human Rights Day, I urge people around the world to promote and respect human rights, every day, for everyone, everywhere."

Play Video: Gun Battles on The Streets of Gaza


This footage shows both sides of the deadly street battles raging all over Gaza. Israel Defense Forces released this video of its soldiers fighting on the streets of Jabaliya, in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, released this montage of its fighters a few miles to the south, near Gaza City. The footage shows militants staging attacks from inside Hamas’ tunnel network. With access to Gaza heavily restricted, very few of these videos can be independently verified. But the footage suggests the war in Gaza may have become more ferocious in recent days. Their release may also indicate that both Israel and Hamas are intensifying their public relations campaigns. Israel says a ceasefire at this point would allow Hamas to regroup and rearm, and points out that Hamas is still holding Israeli hostages. But with the death toll continuing to rise, and the UN warning that half of Gaza may now be starving, it will become ever more difficult for Israel to resist the growing international pressure for another humanitarian pause. #israel #gaza #palestine Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/

This body cam video allegedly shows Hamas-affiliated fighters setting up to attack Israeli troops. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released the footage, claiming it was from a body-worn camera found on one of the fighters. The IDF also released this new footage of its infantry engaged in what appears to be intense urban combat. Here a militant appears to shoot through the wall at Israeli troops. The IDF claims the fighting took place inside a school building in northern Gaza and that they uncovered an entrance to a tunnel used by Hamas fighters. The release of the videos comes as civilian casualties continue to mount following Israel’s push into southern Gaza. The UN and other aid agencies have warned there are no genuine ‘safe zones’ for Gaza’s two million civilians to flee to. As the humanitarian crisis becomes increasingly desperate, Israel has stepped up its public relations efforts. On Friday the IDF released aerial footage claiming to show Hamas fighters firing weapons from a UN school. And on Wednesday it released another video showing weapons and rockets allegedly seized from Hamas. But international pressure for another ceasefire continues to grow. The United States, Israel’s closest ally, vetoed a resolution calling for a ceasefire at the UN Security Council on Friday. But it has been reported even US support for Israel’s offensive has started to wane, in the face of the sheer number of civilian casualties. #israel #palestine #gaza 'Hamas Fighter Shoots At Israeli Soldiers Through Wall in Gaza' Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/

Play Video: Future of wildfires: What will happen to Canada's scorched forests as fires worsen?


After a record-breaking wildfire season in 2023, land double the size of Portugal has been burnt in Canada throughout the year, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC). At 18.5 million hectares (46 million acres), that’s about five per cent of the country’s entire forests. As the wildfire season slowly winds down with cooling temperatures, what happens to all the land and forests after the fires have been extinguished and nearby evacuated communities returned, especially with such a large swath of area affected? In the past, fires didn’t come around an area more often than every 30 years, with the lack of trees from recent burns helping regulate the frequency of the fires and resetting the local ecosystem. But now, experts warn that climate change may be breaking that natural cycle. “Unfortunately, what we're seeing now when we have these extremely intense fires is that, in some places, things burn so hot that they actually incinerate the seeds that are released,” warns ‘Dark Days at Noon: The Future of Fire’ author Edward Struzik. “The southern end of our boreal forest is going to disappear.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #Canada #Wildfires

The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history. Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming.

Play Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires


Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say. The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii. Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.

The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
