A Health Concious Colorado

We are extremely fortunate to live in an environment that promotes a fit and healthy lifestyle. With 300 days of sunshine, we certainly get a little spoiled. Okay, really spoiled. Our abundance of sunshine and clear cool nights allows residents and seasonal visitors alike to participate in outdoor activities year round. Countless yoga and fitness studios also welcome those interested in stretching, strengthening and building endurance.

Colorado has become an industry leader in organic farming and farm to table dining. A large variety of Dining-out options, both upscale and quick-eat restaurants, offer gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian choices for their customers. Summers bring expansive farmer’s markets across the state, which supply residents with an abundance of locally produced foods. Let’s just say, Colorado makes it pretty easy to maintain a healthy diet. If you so desire.

The Happiness Effect

Exercise leads to both temporary and long-term health benefits. As your heart rate picks up, your brain chemistry responds almost immediately. This release of ‘happy chemicals’ (aka dopamine) alleviates stress in both your body and mind. Long-term stress can lead to an array of health issues including, but not limited to, depression, digestive issues and heart disease. It’s time to step away from stress and indulge in health.

A fit lifestyle also increases day-to-day energy levels. Getting your blood pumping actually fights fatigue, even through that may sound counter intuitive. The “I’m too tired to workout” excuse is indeed just that, an excuse. Incorporating fitness activities into your routine will increase confidence, boost energy, decrease stress and set you on a path for a happier and healthier life.

The Fitness Wishlist

Wishlist has launched a new fitness categoryto promote wellness. This Wishlist allows you to gift physical and mental well being to a friend or loved one. While also providing them with the flexibility to select which activity suits them best. It is affordable and ever so rewarding. Current offers include yoga, dance, kickboxing, pilates and barre programs across the state for only $49.

-       Yoga: Embrace the gift of your yoga practice. Relax, explore and connect to your whole true self. Wishlist has partnered with studios in Boulder, Denver, Loveland, Ouray, Lafayette, Basalt, Colorado Springs and Avon.

-       Dance: Express yourself through the art of dance. Leave your problems on the dance floor and let the movement sweep you off your feet. Our featured Colorado dance studio is based in Boulder.

-       Kickboxing: Push yourself and build endurance with kickboxing classes. Wishlist has built offers with studios in Highlands Ranch, Ouray, and Colorado Springs.

-       Pilates: Strengthen and tone your muscles with Pilates Reformer techniques. Pilates offers can be redeemed in Colorado Springs.

Maybe the ideal recipient for this Wishlist is someone special, or perhaps you yourself are looking to explore new fitness options. Either way, this category has an offer for anyone who wants to work it out! If you’ve well versed in Wishlist, you are likely familiar of our strong belief that experiences are what make people happy - not things. So if working out gives you endorphins, and endorphins make you happy, then it is safe to say that being active makes people happier.

Whether you’re walking the dog, out for a hike or dropping in for a yoga or kickboxing class, you are bringing joy to your body, mind, and soul. Since fitness releases good-for-you endorphins and leaves you feeling happy, healthy, strong and confident, what is holding you back?

Wishlist is constantly updating and enhancing current Wishlist activities. Stay up to date with experiential gifting in Colorado by following us on Facebook and Twitter, and signing up for our newsletter.
