Select the kind of hamper you want to be delivered to her doorstep: Organic vegetables, seasonal fruits, granola bars, protein supplements, etc. This way, you can ensure she is eating healthy.

4) Fitbit and other workout gear: Kettlebell, dumbbell, skipping rope, swimming glasses and cap, hula hoop, a cool water bottle, a set of earphones, yoga mat: There’s so much you can get! The new equipment is sure to get her going.
5) Sign her up for a marathon or other races and sports activities: When she has a goal in mind, for instance, a marathon, she is more likely to take her workouts more seriously. Just keep reminding her of the event and motivate her to practise for it. If possible, run or participate with her!
6) Enrol her for a health check-up: There are a number of hospital packages you can choose from: Full health check-up, cardiac evaluation, diabetes and obesity, etc. It is important to let her know that regular health check-ups are necessary to rule out serious conditions and the resulting complications. Once you gift her the first checkup, she is likely to do the next one on her own.
