Align is a collection of men’s training apparel that is engineered to deliver a more effective workout through the use of strategically placed guides on the garments that help the athlete maintain better body alignment and proper form. The visual cues act as guides during a workout to show an athlete when he is out of alignment or using incorrect form. For example, the line on the sleeve of the short sleeve top can be used to gauge the stopping point during a dumbbell press. A great gift for the dad-in-training!
