He’s been there for you all your life. From your birth to your first bike ride, to your college graduation, he cheered for you all the way. You may not get along with him most of the time but I’m sure that you do appreciate and love him for everything he has done for you. Of course, I am talking about the most special guy in your life: your dad.
Provider, Handyman, Coach, and Caregiver All Rolled Into One
It’s truly amazing how fathers can still squeeze in time and effort to raise their children despite pressures from their careers. They are not just the family’s primary provider but they also take on various roles. One day they may act as their family’s handyman, the next day they may take on the role of a coach, giving tips to their children on how to improve their game.
Truly, fathers are very valuable assets in every home. They are our very own superheroes, always ready and willing to help us when we’re in need. It’s a good thing there’s one day each year where all the hard work and perseverance that our fathers have given us is celebrated.
Let us give our fathers a big bear hug on June 15, but if you are feeling a bit more generous there are other ways to show your appreciation to dad.
Special Treats for the Special Guy in Your Life
Think back to the time when you were a child. Your dad was probably the first one who taught you how to play a sport. Whether that sport was basketball, football or badminton, it’s mostly our fathers who introduced us to the world of sports and fitness.
Now wouldn’t it be nice to relive those happy, active moments with dad? It’s never too late to take up a new sport or start a fitness regimen with your father. Just think of the benefits that keeping fit will give you: you become stronger, live longer and sleep better.
Thankfully, there are several products available in the market today that are sure to get you on the right track to a fit and healthy lifestyle:
The Bowflex® SelectTech® line of dumbbells is a unique weight system that is powered by cutting-edge exercise technology that is easy to learn and offers fast results. The product’s main selling point is its innovative design allowing it to reduce 30 separate dumbbells down to only two which saves you tons of money and space. It’s like having a piece of complete gym equipment right at your own home. You don’t have to worry about lower back pain because the system comes with an ergonomically-designed stand that keeps you comfortable and pain-free while you exercise.
There’s also the P90-X Multi-Grip Position Chin-up Bar, with its patented design and heavy gauge steel, it can withstand up to 300 pounds of weight. Not only that, but it is also comfortable to use with its foam-covered handles. It fits any door frame and you can easily remove it when you’re done. It targets your upper body, giving it more strength and power.
Finally, there’s the Perfect Push-up which gives you faster results than conventional push-ups. It engages your core muscles and reduces joint strain because it moves based on the natural rotation of your arms. It features unique rotating handles and a stable rubber base. It is easy enough for beginners to use but still remains challenging for advanced users. This combination of versatility, stability, and comfort ensure a very good workout targeting the chest, arms, back and shoulders.
This Father’s Day, give your dad a gift that keeps on giving——a healthy and fit body. These products would allow you to do that and more, so go ahead and try them with dad.
