The holiday shopping sprint is on and fitness gadgets are everywhere, but don’t forget about the basic — and reasonably priced — options. Here are just 10 ideas for stuff that often can be purchased for $25 or less:

1. Yoga mat on which to stretch, strengthen and chill.

2. Stretch bands to elongate.

3. Pedometer to track steps — been getting your 10,000 steps a day?

4. Stability ball. You can incorporate them into your workout, or to replace your chair.

5. Athletic socks. Guys especially hang onto old socks too long.

6. Light weights. Hefting a little weight can go a long way to add muscle and maintain bone density.

7. Frisbee. Hey, it’s still fun, and social. Maybe get into a league?

8. Soccer ball — or any ball for that matter. Another social way to exercise.

9. Jump rope, a retro aerobic workout.

10. Exercise DVD, which can help guide you through a quick home workout.
