For walkers who simply can't take a step without their iPod, NekFit lets you work out and enjoy your music comfortably.

This easy-to-wear cotton vest stores up to 32 half-pound weights. The added challenge and resistance of the weight helps you safely build bone density, tone your muscles, and burn extra fat and calories. The vest also comes equipped with a utility pocket where you can store your MP3 or CD player.

MBT M. Walk Shoes ($249; blissworld.com)

These shoes have been coined "the world's smallest gym" because of their ability to engage your butt, leg, abs, and thigh muscles up to 19 percent more, while lessening the pressure on your hips, knees, and back. How they work: MBTs have a multilayered curved sole that creates a natural but uneven walking surface (it feels like you're walking on sand), so your muscles have to work extra hard to stay balanced.

These insoles are the perfect stocking stuffer! Spenco insoles are designed with Q Factor technology, which will keep your body better aligned and give you improved balance, reducing your risk of injury while you walk.
