So today it is one month until
Valentine's Day and if you're looking
for inspiration for gifts for your
boyfriend and he's into fitness or the gym
these are ten potential gift ideas that
could really help you out. So starting in
order of price the cheapest gift idea I
have it's actually like a sports themed
mug. Now this might sound pretty lame at
first but I've got a Mr Man mug
which has Mr. Strong written on it and
it's my favorite mode to drink out of I
drink coffee out of it most mornings.
Just drinking out of that mug
psychologically preps me and says yes I
am mr. strong. The second gift idea is
called an aches and pains box which
comes in about twelve pounds ninety-nine
from Amazon now. This contains things
like massage oils so you know you can
romantically deep sports massage your
boyfriend and help relieve some of the
pain in his aching deltoids. The third
item coming in about £14.99 would be a
resistance band set. Now I love these
resistance bands I take them everywhere
and it also means you can get a pretty
good workout at home. So if your
boyfriend is always out at the gym you
know get them some resistance bands you
can have a quick workout or pump up at
home,
and you get to see them a little bit
more... if that's a good thing thinking
along similar lines the fourth item on
my list is actually for an iron gym
pull-up bar this is about £14.99 so
again it's a really good value item and
it enables your boyfriend to go do
pull-ups in the doorframe without any
kind of permanent attachment so you
don't wreck your doorframe. Now I have
one of these pull-up bars myself and I
use it almost every day so I think this
would be a great gift I'd be really
pleased with that as a gift. So next on
list would be some sports headphones or
sports earphones and these are a great
gift because it enables your boyfriend
to be motivated in the gym with some
music or continue to be antisocial and
use it as a way not to have to speak to
people. Now I reviewed some bluetooth
sports headphones in the past which you
come in at about £16.50
which is really good value and of
course you can go much higher than that
if you want to treat your boyfriend to a
proper brand but there would be a really
good gift. Next on my list is protein and
protein you can never go wrong with it's
a gift that keeps on giving so long as
you choose a brand that your boyfriend
likes. So have a look around look at what
kind of tubs he's got around this
kitchen and just get him more of that.
He'll never be disappointed by getting
too much protein. Alternatively you can
go to Amazon and get something like a
protein box. These start from about £20
and they are mixture of all kinds
of different proteins so you can get
vegan sample proteins you can get
superfood proteins and you get some
really interesting flavors and again you
can never go wrong with protein so it's
always a safe bet. Next on my list would be
sports clothing but this can be a little
bit tricky not only needs to know the
size that your boyfriend wears but you
might need to know the kind of fit that
he likes to wear as well. So I'd
recommend getting something like a
hoodie. Hoodies are quite difficult to
get wrong because they pretty much come
in just a really few simple standardized
sizes but make sure you get a nice brand
get something like a gym shark hoodie or
machine fitness or something like that
like a nice big brand that you know
more than happy to wear. Now the next
gift might sound really boring but one
year I got a blender as a gift and it's
one the best presents I ever got.
Not only did it enable me to make super
silky smooth protein shapes but I can
make really cool things like smoothies
as well with like frozen berries and
bananas and all kinds of other good
stuff in there as well. The prices start
around £40 pounds we can get some quite
premium models as well I think the
simplest one is like the nutribullet but
I've got the Nutri ninja and they got my
things at the Nutri ninja IQ so there's
quite a few options available depending
on how much money you want to spend. So
now I've covered some of the cheaper items
on the list I'm now gonna cover some of
the more premium items; so these are for
people feeling a little bit more flush
or for those who've had really well
behaved boyfriends this year. So the
first premium items to talk about would
be something like a SmartWatch or a
Fitbit. now Fitbit's currently start from
about £82.99 and I've worn one
every day for about the last three years
and I absolutely love it and I think
would be a great gift to give somebody.
Now sometimes when I suggest a Fitbit to
someone they say "well hang on a minute
my boyfriend he know he goes to the gym
he doesn't want to track how many steps
he does in the day he's not an old lady"
and that's a fair point however I like
to know how many steps I've done in a
day simply to give me a gauge as to how
active I've been in that day plus if you
have a more premium Fitbit there are
things like the heart rate monitor which
was really good for tracking the
intensity of a workout fighting how hard
you worked. And once you start collecting
that data it starts to become
really kind of interesting
as a whole lot of other features on
there as well which they they might find
interesting. So the next item on my list
would be something like the Compex
machine which is an electronic muscle
stimulator.
Now these start from about 135 pounds
but you can get some really expensive
items come to maybe over a thousand
pounds now these have all kinds of
different programs on them ranging from
the kind of sports rehabilitation for
injuries or atrophied muscle working all
the way through to hypertrophy and
strength training programs. Now I
personally love my complex machine I
don't use it as much as I probably
should but it's a great item my
particular model was about £400 so
again we're getting well into the
premium ranges here for a gift and but I
think most gym people regardless of what
sport you're doing would definitely
benefit from using a Compex machine so
this could be a great gift.
The final gift on my list would be
something like a GoPro or action cam. Now
you might say again why get my boyfriend
you know he goes to the gym I don't
really think he's got much need for
gopro and again that's fair enough. When
I was given my first GoPro for christmas
I didn't really know exactly what I was
going to do with it I didn't feel like
my life was anywhere near extreme enough
to benefit from an an action camera or
GoPro; you know I'm not a snowboarder or
a skateboarder or anything like that
however GoPros are amazing and ended up
using it for filming different sessions
in the gym I used it when I went on an
obstacle course race that incredibly
versatile you can even use it in your
car for driving as like a dash cam. And
GoPros are just cool you know I got a
GoPro as a present that is a pretty cool
gift so you probably won't go wrong
buying somebody a GoPro and definitely
up there on one of the premium items
that would get a very positive response.
