These Father\u2019s Day gifts are designed for dads who prioritize fitness, recovery, and outdoor exercise.<\/p>\n

Father\u2019s Day is fast approaching, and if you\u2019re struggling to come up with gift ideas, it\u2019s best to start with your old man\u2019s interests. If he\u2019s diligent about sticking to an exercise routine, but can\u2019t always make it to the gym, it makes sense to gift him gear that helps him work out a sweat and recover from home. Of course, you have to choose tools that work just as well when he does exercise outdoors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If he\u2019s still rocking the same running shoes from a decade ago, wants to incorporate some new workouts into his routine, or has decided to take his post-workout recovery more seriously, here are some pieces of gear he doesn\u2019t have, but could probably use. We also have a bunch of general Father\u2019s Day gift recommendations<\/a>\u00a0suitable for every type of dad. If you’ve got an outdoorsy dad, we’ve got gift ideas for them<\/a> too.<\/p>\n One legitimate excuse your dad may offer for not having a home gym is a lack of space. Each rack in Lifepro\u2019s Adjustable Dumbbells Set is 13.6 inches long and 6.7 inches wide, so both can fit under a desk, behind the couch, or in the corner of a garage. Either rack can be adjusted between 5 and 25 pounds by pulling up a pin and shifting it to the desired weight, a process that takes a few seconds. The dumbbells are made from alloy steel, so they should last a lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\n If your dad is interested in tracking his exercise and wellness, Garmin\u2019s Vivoactive 5 is the fitness-focused smart watch to get. Its battery lasts up to 11 days, and it can track your dad\u2019s sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen level, steps taken, calories burned, and log his exercise. The watch has over 30 built-in sports apps and workouts, so he doesn\u2019t have to touch his phone to get an accurate reading. The watch\u2019s \u201cBody Battery\u201d feature will use information about his sleep and exercise to recommend rest periods to prevent overexertion.\u00a0<\/p>\n If your dad\u2019s happy with his shoes, but could use a little more comfort, PowerStep\u2019s Pinnacle Insoles are a thoughtful gift. Orthopedic insoles can provide relief from plantar fasciitis and general foot, arch, and heel pain because of their dual-layer cushioning and shape, which provide ample support to multiple parts of the foot. The insoles\u2019 top fabric reduces perspiration and doesn\u2019t retain odor. If your dad has a go-to pair of shoes for work and exercise, it\u2019s worth getting two sets of these insoles so he can keep one in each.<\/p>\n What you put into your body before working out can have a big impact on your results. Tru Niagen\u2019s Pro 1000mg formula is a clinical-strength nicotinamide riboside supplement that the company says promotes cellular health, which includes brain, muscle, and heart function. The supplement comes in a bottle with 60 capsules (one dose is two capsules), and can be purchased in two-, three-, or six-month increments.\u00a0<\/p>\n CAF\u2019s Core Run 5.0 Compression Socks can help keep your dad\u2019s feet from swelling up after a long run. They\u2019re made from a mix of polyamide and elastane, which provide ample cushioning and sweat-wicking. They\u2019re designed with a targeted compression zone, padding, an ergonomic toe box, and Achilles support, so every part of the foot feels comfortable during a workout. Similarly, its 3D compression reduces the risk of blisters.\u00a0<\/p>\n The TheraBody Relief is a cooldown staple that\u2019ll help relax your dad\u2019s muscles during his cooldown. The handheld massager comes with a damper, standard ball, and thumb-sized attachments, and can be used at three intensity levels. Any combination of attachments and settings can be used to provide targeted relief to specific muscles or body areas. The TheraBody Relief has a thick handle that makes it easy to hold and use single-handedly, and it\u2019s shaped such that you can reach tougher places (the underside of your knee, for example) more easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n A pair of Brooks\u2019 Ghost 17 Natural Running Shoes will undoubtedly be an upgrade over whatever kicks your dad has been exercising in for years. The shoes provide ample comfort thanks to nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 cushioning. The flexed grooves in the shoes\u2019 midsoles can help maintain speed and momentum when running, while their mesh uppers reduce the risk of your dad\u2019s feet overheating while promoting breathability. Brooks offers the Ghost 17 in many colors and sizes, from 5 to 15 (with options for narrow, wide, and extra-wide feet).<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the flashiest gift, but Elite SRS\u2019 Jump Rope is an effective exercise tool that\u2019s small enough for your dad to keep in his gym bag, car, or desk drawer. The medium weight, 10-foot-long rope has unbreakable plastic polymer handles and allows for easy size adjustment. EliteSRS says it should only be used indoors and is a good model for beginners who\u2019re looking to add more cardio to their routine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
