Posted By: Xoom Project

The Three Kings will be here in no time! Not to mention Father Christmas…… Oh my goodness, it’s great to receive presents at this time of year, but it’s so difficult to choose presents to give to others, right?

Well, it’s difficult to choose gifts for anyone, but if it’s a gift for a Cross Training fan, you’ve come to the right place.

This sport is getting more and more popular everyday, but you might have no idea what to give as a present to a cross training and WOD fanatic. If this is the case, take a look at the following list of the best presents to give.

11 Presents to give to a Cross Training fan

#1. Belts

A genuine Cross Training fan knows how important it is to prevent injuries while training. One of the most common types of injuries is the one that leaves your back stiff as a board and your kidneys knackered. To prevent this, there’s nothing better than a good belt to protect the ‘core’.

There are various models to choose from, but one you can give as a gift and is original, we recommend Pink Skull, TetriX y PacMan. They’re sure to be a winner.

#2. You need a jump rope?

For simple and double-under jumps or including challenging triple-unders… a jump rope is an affordable present and one that any WOD freaky would love. These jump ropes are light weight and highly functional, as well as being available in various different colours, which will ensure you of finding the perfect gift.

If your friend already has a rump rope, you can always give him or her a replacement cable. Yes, it seems less personal, but practical gifts are in fashion!

#3. Don’t let your wrists suffer

Wristbands are an essential accessory that any weights and WOD fan will appreciate. They can be cloth or velcro and are necessary for protecting wrists from possible injuries.

Once again, you’re going to find really original designs, I love theses two: coloured ghosts and Mexican skulls..

#4. Organise your equipment

He/she doesn’t have a sports bag or backpack to take training and keep all his/her equipment organised? BRILLIANT!

Give him/her this sports backpack: 41 litre capacity, interior pockets, internal toilet bag, exchangeable patches and special compartments for shoes and wet clothing.

#5. The tupperware bag

All fans that train know they have to take care of their diet so that their muscles emerge.

With this Meal Prep Bag your friend is going to be able to take his/her favourite food for the day wherever he or she wants. It holds up to 6 Tupperware containers and an ice pack to keep food fresh.

Remember: practical things are in fashion ;)

#6. Giving him or her healthy knees is quite cool

Many of the exercises within the WOD demand high load muscle work, and they are the knees that frequently suffer the weight.

In all cross trainer’s sports bags, some good knee supports that protect him or her from possible injuries should never be missing. These ones are made of reinforced neoprene and, furthermore, include a bag for carrying them in.

#7. To protect your hands

Gloves and hand grips may not be that necessary when beginning training sessions, but they are essential when one wants to make progress: the heavier the weight, the more protection and grip needed, and gloves and hand grips are the ideal accessory.

#8. 24 hour hydration

Whether it is for carrying water to keep you hydrated during training, to make a shake or to have a nice hot coffee. The training fan knows how important it is keep your body hydrated before, during and after training. . With these bottles and shakers you’re bound to get it right.

#9. Elevation Training Mask

THIS IS REALLY COOL

If your friend is a genuine Cross Training lover, this gift will absolutely amaze him or her.

This XoomMask simulates high altitude training, ideal for those who want to leave their comfort zone and overcome new challenges.

Using these masks improve aerobic capacity and lung function (key for endurance exercise).

#10. Patches

These velcro patches can be placed wherever we want and as well as being decorative they also keep us motivated with the messages they bear:

Yes, it’s possible that your friend spends all day talking about Cross Training and apparently doesn’t need motivation… but he or she is going to love them!

#11. Special clothes for the WOD

Lastly, you can always give clothes as a gift for cross training. These items are specially designed for training. They are light weight, breathable and are very comfortable, giving you the sensation of not wearing anything.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS! AND WE HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
