Let's face it. I like presents. So if you're thinking about giving me one, why don't you choose from this fitness-inspired Lactic gift guide.

1. I.AM.PARADISE yoga retreat in Tayrona, Columbia with Lauren Imparato, February 11-17

Let’s see… seven days with one of my favorite yoga instructors of time, in paradise? I wonder why this tops the list.

A three mile long private beach, surrounded by a lush jungle in the middle of Tayrona National Park on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. A villa, perched literally on top of this impeccable private beach, with the gentle waves no more than fifty feet from your bed. A private chef, staff of 4, masseuse, and all the pampering you could want. I.AM.YOU. classes, hiking, swimming, tanning, hammocking, jumping, holidaaaying all day long, however you like it..... Wake up the next morning to the private beach, lush food and drink, and all you do is do it all again........ You won't want to leave.

Includes: Daily Morning I.AM.YOU. classes; Daily Evening Restorative & Meditation classes; Private Chef + Staff of 4; 3 Gourmet meals + Aperitivo Daily; Massage and Body Work; Hiking, Horseback riding, Swimming, Tanning, Partying, Chillin; Over 20 beaches and trails to choose from; Private yacht pick up and tour of the Park

Um, YES PLEASE. Check out the pics from the last I.AM.PARADISE trip.

2. Jawbone UP wristband

A thingamajigger you wear on your wrist that tracks your vitals at all times, helping you monitor your sleeping, eating, activity, and general wellbeing... can't wait to give this a try.

From Gizmodo: "Jawbone's claims about the Up are pretty ambitious: they expect the embedded accelerometer to not only monitor your movements and sleeping habits (though remain vague on the details of what kind), but to actually make you healthier. Used in conjunction with a smartphone app (expect iOS and Android) with browser access, you'll be able to chart your physical habits and correct the bad ones. This means knowing which meals you eat correspond to feeling like shit (or wonderful!) during the day, whether you're getting enough exercise, or when exactly you get rest at night. How much this will actually matter (or work at all) will depend largely on how well they pull off things on the software side."

3. Flow Y Bra IV in Heathered Rocksteady and Heathered Treefrog

Among other items in the bag I left hanging on my chair at Dos Caminos, I would like to re-possess the Lulu sports bras I purchased last week. (Until then, if you sit next to me in spin class, I apologize for the dirty, somewhat smelly white cloth covering my boobies)

You can find these either being worn by the Dos Caminos thief or at www.lululemon.com

4. A one-month Academy membership to Barry's Bootcamp NYC

5 days per week for 4 weeks. AKA fast track to a BANGIN bod. Even this fitness blogging psychopath is a little intimidated (/extremely excited) about the intensity this program entails.
