BEST FITNESS GIFTS FOR DAD
Garmin Foretrex 201 Wrist-Mounted Global Positioning Device
This gift combines two truisms: Men like gadgets, and men do not like to ask for directions. This 12-channel GPS receiver is great for adventurous guys who like to hike or explore the backcountry, but it also works on water so it will get your sailor back to port. The technology is sophisticated but imagine it working like leaving an electronic bread-crumb trail that you can follow back home. Priced around $130 at Amazon.
Folding Bike
Portable wheels are a great gift for a dad on the go to encourage commuting to work or leaving the car behind for a quick run to the store. The Schwinn Hinge folding bike is a good entry-level model and is priced around $200 at Amazon. Or if dad has been extra good, the top-of-the-line Dahon folding bike runs over $1,000, www.Dahon.com.
Everlast Medicine Ball
No need to shell out big bucks on fancy gym equipment to break a sweat. Go old school with these leather medicine balls. They come in 12- and 15-pound versions, and you can perform dozens of exercises with the weighted balls. $49.95-$59.95, www.everlast.com.
SIGG Water Bottle
If you’re working out, you need to hydrate. Why not save the planet at the same time? These environmentally friendly Swiss-engineered lines of water bottles are made from recyclable aluminum. They’re also lightweight and durable, and they come in more than 144 cool designs. $17.99-$29.99, www.mysigg.com.
Juiceman Jr. JM400
Supersized juicers used to take up tons of counter space and require massive amounts of produce to get a thimbleful of juice. The 700-watt Juiceman Jr., the new, improved version, takes up just a square foot of counter space yet is powerful enough to juice rinds and skins, where most of the nutrients are found. $69.99 at Amazon.
Wii Fit
So I admit that in the past I have referred to this as the “Weenie Fit,” but Nintendo’s fitness entry is good for bad-weather days. It’s also a less intimidating way to introduce a never-ever exerciser to working out. With a Wii fit balance board, you can use this bathroom-scale-sized device to do dozens of exercises, from yoga to skiing. $89.99 at Amazon; console sold separately.
And if all else fails, there’s body-shaping undergarments. Australian underwear manufacturer Equmen has come out with a men’s version of Spanx, including a compression undershirt. It’s guaranteed to sculpt and shape the torso and make any man look slimmer. So at least you can fake it till you make it.

I believe we all have heard about healthy people dyeing. In as much as we all aspire and love healthy food and want to see our great grand children, the issue of who is healthy and who is not can not easily be determined. Only a clean bill of health can say that. The fact that a father is FAT or SLIM don't make him FIT. Exercising is very good. Seeing your doctor at least every 3 months is good. Eating the right food is good but who can guarantee good food these days when we dont know where it is coming from and what it is processed with. CNN medical expert Dr. Gupta recently contacted the H1N1 virus. He is healthy. He knows it all. Now he has first hand experience about it. The woman that lived about 115 years in california was asked what did she eat to live this long. She said fried chicken, cake etc. Those are not healthy food we were told. I guess it boils down to the OLD GOOD GENE.
There are some fat fathers that are healthier than Slim fathers. Some professional footballers are obesse but they look healthy in our eyes. Lets just pray, we live to see our great grand kids thats all i can say.

I think this article focuses on something worth discussing when it comes to fitness and the example we set for our kids. But, we shouldn't call Tony Soprano lazy because he had other guys kill people. cialis online Tony was the boss. The boss doesn't kill people. He has other people do that for him.
Awesome tips!
I was first introduced to lifting weights at 12 years old. My father who was in his late thirties at the time started training at our local weight-room in the basement of our small town’s recreation centre.
I started to train consistently at age 16. I would get up bright and early to be at the gym to train with my father who have trained for
over 20 years, and loved the challenge of pumping iron and the camaraderie that existed between the regular lifters at the gym.
I will always cherish those memories of getting up early in the morning when all my friends were sleeping and spending that
time in the gym with my father. This time together taught me life long lessons of worth ethic, goal setting, failure and many more.
I only hope that I can instill the same values in my children and show them the vital importance that exercise plays in living a long and healthy life.

If you want to live long enuff to see your grand kids graduate and to get on with their lives. When it is tuff and you just don't feel like taking another step.
Remember the battle cry. YES YOU CAN improve your health through proper diet and moderate physical exercise.
Why pay for medicine to treat an ailment that can be checked, resolved or prevented by going for a brisk 30 minute walk three times a week.
How is it that we are able to celebrate mothers on Mothers Day, but Fathers Day has to become some national discussion about the role of fathers, or how fathers do their jobs? It should be a time to celebrate dads and thank them for what they have done for us. I agree that more fathers need to step up. I agree that their are too many men out there who aren't handling their responsibilities. However, those are discussions we can have the other 364 days of the year. Let this holiday be a joyous occasion where we honor our dads, or those people who have been like dads to us. Father's Day isn't time to tell dads what they are doing wrong or how they can become better at it
Great article with some good tips. One of the hardest things to do is to change bad eating habits.
Anyone considering having children should change his/her diet first. You know all those things that people try to do to bone-up on child rearing, books on everything that turn out not to work very well?
Well, changing your diet when starting a new family with a healthy lifestyle is hardly ever on anyone's agenda. Mom has extremely bizarre cravings... and Dad just can't help but to put on that, "sympathy weight".
