Adidas miCoach Pacer
If she’s in training for her next 10K or to kick your butt on the squash court, a runner’s success is all in the pacing. Adidas’ miCoach Pacer offers an interactive training program that works with her mp3 player to give her feedback while she’s running.

Luxury seating doesn’t have to be right behind home plate. This Personalized Padded Stadium Seat will keep her comfy and cozy at her next sporting event, concert or picnic — no matter who’s winning (or wolfing down the last of the apple turnovers). This easy-to-carry seat with adjustable shoulder strap can be used as a cushion or flipped open into a padded seat. It’s reversible with a personalized pocket to be used in the front or back. Add in her one-line embroidered personalization in a varsity font. She can stash her goodies in the large zippered pocket. How much better could it get?! (Personalization Mall, $50)
Nike+ SportBand
Some runners swear by their GPS, but the Nike+ system is simple and more affordable. The system provides feedback while she runs, and Nike has introduced the SportBand as an alternative for runners who run without music or who use a player other than an iPod nano. The SportBand is water-resistant and available in multiple colors (aesthetics count, of course). It comes with the wristband and a sensor that fits into Nike+-ready shoes or holders that attach to the laces of her favorite shoe. She can plug it into her computer and upload her data to nikeplus.com to track her runs and connect her with group challenges. (Nike, $80)

For the times when she wants to go from armchair coach to Zumba queen, get this gift under the tree. The Kinect for XBox 360 ($150) takes fitness gaming to a new level. She’ll want to get off the couch for this one — in fact, she won’t have a choice. The Kinect utilizes the technology to make her body the controller for every game. So if she wants her on-screen avatar to jump, then she’ll have to jump too. Games such as Zumba and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved will get those feel-good endorphins pumping in no time — and who doesn’t like to see their gal happy? (Best Buy, $150)
