Fitness trackers are among the hottest holiday gifts of 2017, and the brand-new Huawei Watch 2 is one great option. The watch helps you log all types of exercise—walks, runs, bike rides, even swims (yup, it's water resistant)—and even provides mid-workout coaching, such as speed up/slow down alerts and distance markers. The watch is designed to work equally well with your smartphone or on its own, and features standalone GPS navigation, a built-in professional running coach, offline music storage, and much more.

One of Health's editors is a hot yoga addict, and she declared the Gaiam Studio Select Dry-Grip Yoga Mat the best yoga mat she's ever used.
