8 great gifts for strong, active women
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time we go shopping for gifts for our loved ones. This time, we’re featuring a curated list specific to strong, active women.
New Balance Rebel v5
This shoe is a godsend for beginner to intermediate runners. Not only is it lightweight and responsive, but it also has superior heel cushioning, measuring at 145 SA in one lab test, ahead of many competing shoes.
Asics Nagino Run Adjustable 4” Shorts
The lightweight, quick-dry fabric is durable with a water-repellent coating. The phone pocket is well-positioned and prevents bouncing during runs. It also features a smaller interior pocket for keys and money. Most importantly, the length is adjustable via side-seam adjusters. You can raise or reduce the length to suit your preference.
Vivienne Bella Bra
This sports bra features a classic razor-back design in new designs. It even comes with high-impact support features, designed for more intensive movement (like sprints and jumps) rather than casual wear. The best part? It comes at a friendly price point and is made by a local brand that caters to athletes from different sports.
Garmin Forerunner 570
The Garmin FR570 is perfect for active women, as it features a 42mm version that provides a more compact fit. This often works better for women with smaller wrists. The colorways, such as the Bone-Raspberry-Mango, are well-suited for strong, active women.
Lifespace Shape B420
Active women, especially those who train, stress their gut during long rides, runs, and bricks, and even more so in hot, humid conditions like Metro Manila. This is why proper gut flora from probiotics like B420 can help with digestion, immunity, and recovery.
PSI Core Trisuit
Another product produced by a proud Filipino brand, the Core Tri Suit is one of PSI Custom’s initial offerings in the retail line. It features strong, durable material that gives proper coverage while maintaining flexibility—with no see-through fabrics.
LeGARDE L-Carnitine
Unlike other supplements with stimulants, LeGARDE offers steady, crash-free energy that doesn’t result in palpitations, cold sweats, and insomnia. The formulation uses Carnipure® grade L-Carnitine and is made in “LICAPS® Fusion Technology, manufactured in Japan.
Rudy Project Rydon Slim
The Rydon slim is approximately 4.3mm narrower than the standard model, making it perfect for women with smaller faces. It features a fully adjustable nose pad and anti-slip temple tips, making it perfect for running, cycling, or other sports like golf or tennis. It’s prescription compatible through the RX-specific inserts. The best part is that the lenses can be swapped out, making customization and replacement easier than ever.
