10 Father’s Day gifts for dads who are into fitness
Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to get Dad interested in a new workout routine or help him elevate his existing one. The first place to start for the gym junkie is to gauge any goals he is looking to crush. If he’s into bike riding, he might be interested in improving his ride with a bike trainer. If Dad is already hitting the pavement and logging long miles, consider upgrading his smartwatch.
Or maybe he’s been thinking about starting a new routine. A great place to start is with a low-impact elliptical trainer. Whether he’s a novice or an expert, a better set of earbuds for his workout tunes or post-workout recovery gear are great gifts he’ll appreciate.
We’ve selected ten gifts for the dad who works out (or is thinking about it):

It features advanced health and fitness features, including sleep coaching, 24/7 health insights, and the ability to make and send texts from your wrist. You can also buy it at Scheels.
