Not sure what to get the special guy in your life for Father’s Day? These 10 healthy gift ideas may help you find the perfect gift!
Exercise Trackers
So, Dad went to the gym. Great! Whether it’s a Garmin Forerunner, Fitbit One, or Armour39, he’ll love receiving a wearable technological device as a present. You may keep track of your progress toward your fitness objectives using them. Some apps can track your sleep habits, indicating active and restful phases.
Bike Horns
Hopefully, your father won’t run over any pedestrians, and you won’t have to worry about his safety. That’s why he has to have a horn. U.S. News writer and University of Ottawa associate professor of family medicine Yoni Freedhoff recommends the Delta Airzound bike horn.

Cooking Tools
Men will use it even if it’s a vegetable saw and not a wood saw. According to Michael Roizen, a writer for U.S. News and the head of the Wellness Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, you should get your dad a kitchen tool like an apple slicer, salad spinner, chef’s knife, or cutting board. If you’re not looking for a high-end knife (yes, some cost over $1,000), you shouldn’t have to spend more than $20.
A Pound of Walnuts
It’s like giving someone a heart-healthy pill in a bottle. In addition to increasing your vitamin E, potassium, calcium, iron, and magnesium intake, walnuts are a great source of antioxidants, healthy monounsaturated fats, and omega-3 fatty acids. You should nevertheless, warn your father not to gorge himself on them; he’ll burn roughly 200 calories just from one cup.
Heart Rate Monitor
Concerned about your heart health? A heart rate monitor will assist in determining whether or not Dad is exercising at an appropriate intensity. Some fitness trackers can tell you when you’re becoming too dehydrated, and others can help you maximize your fat-burning activity while simultaneously showing you how many calories you’ve burned.

A Guide For Area Hiking
There is often more than one guidebook covering a state’s trails; for example, Washington has “100 Classic Hikes,” and Georgia and South Carolina have “Hiking Waterfalls in Georgia and South Carolina.” Plan a hiking excursion with your dad and enjoy the fact that it is a fantastic mental and physical cardio exercise. Plus, it has a decent view.
Tickets For Group Bike Ride
This is always fun. Why go by yourself when you can make it a group thing? Talking, laughing, and getting plenty of exercise. Cut your vacation short if fifty or more seems like an insurmountable distance. The duration and difficulty of most group bike rides may be tailored to the rider’s needs.
Chin Up Bar
More than a dozen muscles in your back, arms, shoulders, and chest are strengthened when you do chin-ups, which require your hands to point inward rather than outward, as when performing pull-ups. Typical tabs at a bar cost between $70 and $230.
Frisbee
Throwing a frisbee around is one of those laid-back things to do that gets you enough physical movement. Join an Ultimate Frisbee League if things are going well. Agility will improve from the constant cutting, jumping, and throwing, and you may burn as many as 13 calories in a minute. In addition, it’s simple and enjoyable to play with that circular piece of plastic.

Introductory Lessons For Fitness Classes
Consider signing up for a series of martial arts, yoga, dancing, or tennis classes. It really depends on the parent. If he’s more culinary-minded, enroll him in a cooking class at a nearby gourmet market or school. One may take anything from a one-time “basic knife skills” course (where one can learn to construct a chicken and then cook a stir-fry) to a “vegetable methods” presentation.
