If your guy is a fitness buff, giving him something that reflects his pastime is a great way to make sure he'll actually use and appreciate the gift. Even if the man in your life is just starting on the road to better fitness, you can help him reach his goals. Gadgets, weight lifting equipment and even motivation are good birthday, Christmas or anniversaries gifts that show you care about his health.
Weight Lifting Equipment
If he always has to go to the gym to lift weights, because there is not enough space in the house for a lot of dumbbells, Esquire Magazine recommends Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells, which have every standard weight on one bar. He selects the weight he wants by sliding the dial to it and automatically has the right dumbbell at his disposal--without separate units or a large rack. Ankle weights, wrist weights and doorway pull-up bars are also good choices for a guy who is short on space.
Latest Technology
Things are always changing in the world of sports and fitness. Scouring the latest fitness magazines and manufacturers for the best new gadgets is a good way to give him something he doesn't already have. Clothing made from a new kind of fabric or weight gloves and belts are items that will help him improve and be used often.
Gym Membership
If your guy isn't a fitness buff, but he'd like to lose a few pounds and get into shape, purchasing a gym membership can get him started. A gym membership may be just the motivation he needs to get moving.
Magazine Subscription
A subscription to a fitness magazine like "Men's Health" or "Fitness" will give him something motivational to read on the treadmill. A magazine subscription is an economical gift that lasts for 12 months.
Musical Devices
Buy him an iPod, customize it with songs he loves or that will motivate him, and pair it with arm bands, skins or fitness headphones.
