13 Fathers Day Gift Ideas For The Athletic Dad

Hey friends!  I am joining together with my Create and Thrive buddies again today to bring you some fabulous ideas for Fathers Day!  And just like we did for Mothers Day, we each chose a different type of dad to focus on.  I of course, made my choice based on my husband and his interests.  And he is all about working out!  He works out at least 6 days a week, and if he can’t work out, he is not a happy camper.  I shopped around online, with his help, and have come up with 13 Fathers Day gift ideas for athletic dad.  So if your husband or your father loves to work out like mine does, you are sure to find something for him here.

13 Fathers Day Gift Ideas For Athletic Dad

1. Compression shorts–  These are great to prevent chafing when he goes on a run.  And I have personally seen the chafing on my husband when he doesn’t wear these, he will be actually bleeding sometimes.  So these are a huge benefit.
2. Kettlebell– I actually bought this for my husband for Christmas, at his request.  He uses it when he can’t make it to the gym and works out at home.  This can be used for dead lifts, squats, lifting, etc.
3. Fuel performance medicine ball– This was another of my husband’s Christmas gifts.  This weighted ball can be used to help improve muscular power and sports performance.  There are lots of different excercises you can do with it.
4. Foam Roller– foam rollers can provide muscle recovery, pain relief, and improved flexibility.
5. Running Belt– This will hold keys, a phone, and some money, whatever he needs to take a run.
6. Resistance Bands– These bands are a perfect for pull ups, muscle ups, dips, and more.
7. Water Bottle– This angled spout delivers a high flow of water without spilling.
8. Running shoes– My husband goes through at least three pairs of running shoes per year.  And you can also try this option and this option.
9. Sunglasses– These sunnies have three interchangeable TLT lenses included.  They are lightweight, contemporary, and performance driven.
10. Wireless headphones– These are sweat and weather resistant, and hold a charge for up to 6 hours.
11. Silicone wedding ring set– My husband has this set.  They are great when he goes to cross fit, and much more safe to wear while working out.
12. Runner cardio watch– This watch has an extra large display face and a built in heart monitor.  It holds up to 8 hours of battery life, and you can share your stats on your favorite running platform.
