unique and useful gym accessories.

[hidinginthenightgarden]

DH ans I recently started at the gym and I was thinking of getting him a xmas present that he could use for the gym (he hates pointless gifts and this is his only interest at present.)
He has a drinks bottle and wireless headphones. Anything else he may find useful for around £10?

Should say he has a fitbit so doesn't need a tracker of anykind.

If he deadlifts, try this...

(hope link works)

www.decathlon.co.uk/C-1069437-muscle-rollers

These are great for after a gym session

Gloves for lifting weights etc

He doesn't really do weights. More cardio.
They have those rollers at the gym.

Spotify / google music/ amazon music subscription for music?

Sweat towel?

Pro membership to any fitness apps he uses?

Audible membership to listen to audio bikes as he runs/cycles?

Armband to hold his phone?

A PT session with someone who can show him how to do weights then. He will get much more out of it than just cardio.

A microfibres towel definitely a good idea.

One of these:

GOMAKE cooling towel with clip travel carry case. instant cooling breathable ice towel for all sports, gym and outdoor activities, holidays and camping. Instant relief from headaches and sunburn. Just soak towel, wring out and shake. Lightweight and compact for use on head, neck and wrists ect (blue) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IR0XRXQ/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_4A13Bb2V88EAK

Love the towel thanks!

A set of clips for barbells so you are never short of clips - I keep forgetting to buy things myself.

Elastic laces for his trainers?

Lanyard/case/wallet for any gym pass?

Padlock for locker?

Hanging washbag for his shower stuff?

Wetbag for his shower towel?

Box of appropriate snacks for straight after?
(would suggest protein shakes/bars but you said he's mostly cardio)

Rundawear socks are fabulous.

Skipping rope? My DH has got massively into skipping, the best cardio going - he's dripping after 15 mins. He takes two to our gym, a thin leather one and a huge weighted rope.

Or resistance bands?

My gym has just introduced core slider discs - our ones are by Flo 360. They're useful for cardio and give a much harder workout. You can buy similar on Amazon.

Weights are the best thing ever, you'll never want to do cardio again once you've started lifting. Trust me on that.

Wireless headphones are good, but usually expensive.
