He taught you how to throw a ball and throw a punch. So this Father’s Day show dad a little something about 21st century fitness—and help him work off that beer belly he’s been cultivating since the day you were born—with this top workout gear:
The difference this time? All the workouts—16 full body workouts that focus on resistance, power, cardio, flexibility and core strength—are only 30 minutes long. Including warmup and cool down. That means dad’s got no excuse he’s too busy. Thirty minutes is shorter than his usual bathroom session. $120
The new Wave Paradox takes everything Mizuno’s learned about support and control from years of making top baseball and soccer shoes, and applies them to running. Super lightweight, with Fan Wave Technology for stability and exceptional cushioning, dad may actually stop complaining about how much his feet hurt and get off the couch and run. $134.99
BlueAnt Pump HD SportBuds: Nothing sucks harder when dad’s got his favorite workout jam going, than getting constantly tangled in the headphone cord while he exercises. The new Pump HD SportsBuds (above) cuts the cord, delivering crystal clear audio from up to 100 feet away from any Bluetooth-compatible device.
Besides bringing HD quality sound straight into dad’s cranium, the Pump is designed to handle rugged workouts and come through unscathed. Encased in the same Kevlar shielding used in bullet-proof vests, and coated with the same Teflon that repels liquids on commercial cooking equipment, the Pump can stand up to rain, dust, debris, sweat, & even a quick rinse under the tap at the end of a workout. And as a veteran of the kind of punishment dad is capable of dishing out, you’ll be relieved these can stand up to him. $129.95
And since your fastball has put some MPH on it since your last game of catch, the Shika Elite deerskin palm lining will help absorb some of the sting. $500, glove bag included.
Dad gets feedback on how much he’s walking, running and sleeping, giving him the real story of his daily activity—or inactivity—helping him set better fitness goals while tracking his progress. Just prepare yourself for the onslaught of the “guess how many steps I walked today?” emails. $99.99
