Father’s Day Gift Guide 2012

Don’t forget Dad this weekend! Father’s Day is an often overlooked celebration; moms tend to get most of the credit for the good things happening in the home but in our house we don’t underestimate the power of dad. Skip the tie, hammers and mugs and get him something special and specific to his life and personality.

I’ve put together a little gift guide for Dads. It doesn’t matter what their age or hobby and your budget you are bound to find something just right.

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!
