Father's Day is the perfect opportunity to get Dad interested in a new workout routine or help him elevate his existing one. 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 he may want to update his post-workout recovery with the ultimate upgrade: a Zero-Gravity Shiatsu Massage Chair.
Here are 11 gifts for the dad who works out (or is thinking about it):

The watch will log your activity levels, and let you start a new exercise or even automatically log an exercise for you when it detects it (because does the exercise really even count if you don't log it?). It also has health features such as tracking your heart rate, taking an ECG or monitoring your sleep. The heart rate tracking also helps show what cardio zone you are in during your workout in real time, enabling you to adjust your exersion levels to your individual needs.

The Retina display is 11 inches, and even the base model comes with an impressive 128 GB of storage. If you need more, it'll go all the way up to 512 GB.
Apple even has a native Fitness app built in with routines in every category for just $9.99 per month, or cheaper at $79.99 per year on the annual plan.
