This Fitness Tracker Has Over 2,000 Rave Reviews on Amazon, and It's $21 Today Only - POPSUGAR

Most frequent fliers are aware of the importance of keeping active and performing stretching exercises when taking a long flight. Being inactive for long periods of time is one of the causes of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs when restricted blood flow leads to the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein of the leg.

It must be with those concerns in mind that Air New Zealand has teamed up with New Zealand fitness company Les Mills to create a series of inflight wellness exercises specifically designed to enhance the wellbeing of its customers.

The New Zealand flag carrier says that by December 1, all customers travelling on international Air New Zealand services will have access to a series of stretches, exercises and meditation techniques hosted on the airlines inflight entertainment system to help ease the tensions of travelling.

Air New Zealand senior manager customer experience Niki Chave says the partnership has a focus on customers travelling in economy cabins.

The wellness segments will be free to all customers as part of Air New Zealands inflight entertainment platform, with adaptations for Economy, and Business Premier seats.

Les Mills creative director Diana Mills said: Its not about doing burpees and tuck jumps in the aisle. This [is] all about demonstrating low-impact, carefully designed stretching and relaxation techniques that anyone can do discreetly in their seat to effectively alleviate any symptoms associated with travelling.

Business TravellerAsia-Pacific has reached out to Air New Zealand for more details on the partnership with Les Mills.

This isnt the first wellness focused initiative Air New Zealand has introduced in recent months. Earlier this year, the airline said it would offer a new pillow for business class passengers that uses technology originally developed for astronauts in an effort to improve the quality of sleep for passengers.

Other airlines across the Asia-Pacific region are also introducing wellness elements into their product offering. At the start of this year, Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific opened a yoga and meditation space in its The Pier business class lounge. In February, we tried out that then-new space and you can read our review of it here.

Finding the perfect Christmas gift for friends and family isn't always easy - but if they like to lead an active lifestyle, you might want to swerve the usual chocolates and booze and opt for something sporty instead.

From weights they can use in the living room, to seamless leggings that fit like a glove, we've scoured the options to find a variety of exciting and useful Christmas gifts for the gym bunny or fitness fanatic in your life.

Whether you're on a budget or you're keen to splash the cash, help them to reach their fitness goals in 2020 with one of these prize pressies...

1. Under Armour women's ColdGear reactor performance jacket, 105 (was 150), underarmour.com

Make those early morning runs slightly less arctic by adding this snuggly jacket to their kit. It's made from a lightweight fabric that promises to be ultra-comfy and is designed to conserve body heat while also allowing for maximum mobility. The best part? Thermal pockets to keep hands nice and toasty.

2. On Cloudswift running shoes, 135, on-running.com

There's no better feeling than a box-fresh pair of trainers. These shoes from Cloudswift have special foam cushioning tubes in the sole that give a springy and responsive ride from the first toe-off. The shoe comes in a variety of colours; our favourite is the rust hue with orange laces.

3. Focus dusty pink 7/8 leggings, 16.80 (were 28), loveleggings.com

With a seamless design and flattering high waistband, these budget-friendly leggings look just as good as some of the more expensive options on the market. They're made from a sweat-wicking fabric that has a 'second skin' fit, providing the ultimate support during those bendy squats and rows.

4. Domyos kettlebell 8kg, 14.99, decathlon.co.uk

There's a lot you can do with a kettlebell. Whether you swing it, row it, pull it or lunge with it, it's probably one of the most versatile pieces of equipment going. This one from Domyos is a great mid-weight that can add an extra burn to a home workout - and won't take up too much space in the cupboard.

5. Lonsdale pro training boxing gloves, 14.99, sportsdirect.com

Boxing is one of the most exhilarating forms of fitness going. What's not so great though? Rocking up to your local gym and having to stick your hands into a pair of sweaty gloves that have been worn a thousand times already. There's no law that says you need to have your own, but if you know someone who's thinking of getting on the bags this year, do them a favour and invest in a pair they don't have to share.

6. Fabfitfun subscription box, from around 38.88 plus shipping, fabfitfun.com

If you like the idea of bundling up a variety of little gifts for a friend but don't really know where to start (or don't have the time), this subscription box will do the hard work for you. Fabfitfun's winter box is packed with eight to 10 products (expect skincare, candles, make-up and other treats) with a total worth of over 150. You can buy a one-off box, or sign them up for a subscription of four seasonal boxes.

7. New Balance accelerate 5 inch running shorts, 9.99, sportsshoes.com

Is it just us or does men's workout gear tend to be a bit bland? If you know a super stylish guy, treat them to a new pair of gym shorts that don't look like everyone else's. These roomy ones have an elasticated waist to keep everything in place and a blue outer shell that's sure to look the part.

8. Adidas 3D backpack, 41.97 (was 59.95), adidas.co.uk

If you've ever tried to squeeze your gym kit into a bulging tote bag, you'll know that a sturdy and practical backpack is one of the best pieces of kit you can own. This one from Adidas has space for all the essentials and is big enough to fit a laptop too.

9. Nike fundamental training gloves, 6, sportsdirect.com

Some protection for the hands can be really important when you're getting into weights - they can help stop callouses forming and allow for a better grip on the bar. With a padded micro-fibre palm, these training gloves absorb slippy moisture and provide an all-important barrier between you and the equipment.

10. Power Plate Pulse, 299.95, powerplate.com

This handheld massager can bring relief to tight muscles after a hard gym session, which helps the body recover faster. Simply run it over the targeted area and the pulse head will jackhammer away knots and niggles. It has six attachments to provide different massages to relax and rejuvenate - whether you simply want to loosen up your shoulders or really go to town on tight calves.

10 of the best fitness gifts this Christmas - Belfast Telegraph

Recently, actor Godfrey Gao died at 35 after he collapsed on the sets of Chase Me. A reality show filmed at night, it sees celebrities compete against pro sportspeople, to test those cornerstones of all fitness activity: speed, strength, endurance, balance.

Have you felt of late though, that were all part of a sort of reality show that dwells on fitness to the extent that if youre not doing something substantial lifting a loaded barbell, working the ropes, swimming 1,500 metres thrice a week, youre relegated to the bottom of this new fitness caste system?

You cant just be running 5k or training for a half marathon you better be doing an ultra. And if you dont look like a pro with the right gear, well, whats the point of being? Amateur sport is being seen like a corporate ladder to climb.

How did we get to the point of this extreme, where weve tied ourselves up in knots about going harder, pushing ourselves, working towards a higher goal? Its happened because, as the actor Adil Hussain recently told me in an interview, we have shifted, as a society, from being knowledge-driven to becoming goal-oriented.

This puts our various organs out of sync with each other not just a mind-body disconnect, but an organ disconnect. In fact, my mind may be speaking to my legs telling it to go faster; my heart may be crying out for me to stop.

If you are in touch with your body (mind included, because hell, its a part of the body so can we please stop saying mind-body, as if the mind is dangling like a spare part outside of it), and you slow down or are stagnant, its a matter of great shame.

I am a part of this self-shaming club: some years ago, I took part in the shortest leg of Delhis first triathlon the sprint tri. I havent made any progress. I should have done the Ironman in Goa this year, I tell myself, so I keep quiet at the few athlete meet-ups I attend. I am not a triathlete, I say with shame in my voice, I just dabble, admitting in that one sentence that I havent tried hard enough, Im not as good as they are, I dont know how Im even sitting here facing them.

Down the rabbit hole of self-doubt, self-blame, and the need to prove that we are somehow better people if we just pushed ourselves a little harder to run across ice or a sun-bleached desert.

As the frenetic energy of summer starts to wind down and the decidedly more restorative fall season takes hold, the time is now to slow down a bit and focus on yourself. What better way to do that than by paying a little more attention to your health and wellness? Whether thats getting a few more steps in each day and finally starting a daily vitamin regimen or training for that marathon youve always wanted to run, heres how to kick start a focus on fitness.

Get the right gear

From walking and running to swimming laps, the right clothing and shoes can make all the difference between working out feeling like a slog and enabling you to perform at your very best once youre ready to sweat. Choose wisely and dont be afraid to splurge on yourself a bit!

Make eating right a cinch

Eating right is always the hardest part of any fitness regimen. Tempting indulgences abound and at the end of a long day, whipping up a good meal can seem like just another chore to complete rather than an investment in your wellbeing.

Luckily, there are a variety of meal services that make eating right at home easy as pie no matter your dietary needs or restrictions. From paleo and keto meals to vegetarian delights and much in between, Green Chef lets you sign up for a meal plan that suits you and delivers the ingredients you need right to your door. Hello Fresh works similarly, delivering fresh ingredients along with recipes and nutritional information right to you. The best part? Skipping weeks or cancelling is no hassle at all, making it a great option for those who travel a lot or who are simply just a little less committal.

Add supplements to the mix

If you want to take it a step beyond healthy meals, sticking supplements into your routine is an easy way to make sure youre getting all the vitamins, minerals, and results you want. There are all kinds of choices out there, from the classic GNC option, which is filled with pretty much any supplement under the sun to Just CBD, a newer company that offers CBD-infused products from gummies to tinctures.

Upgrade your home gym equipment

Not a fan of going to the gym or simply want the ease and accessibility of working out from home? Then getting a few essential home gym components is the way to go. Suspension training gear is an easy way to bring the gym to your home as is Aptive, an app that delivers workout classes straight to your smartphone.
