The GoFit Gravit Bar easily and securely mounts in any standard door frame, with included hardware. Build strength and increase your core stability while developingbalance and muscle tone. You can work your chest, arms, back, abs, and obliques best with a simple bar over your doorway. Second to dumbbells, the chin up bar is my most recommended tool for home weight training. You can begin as a novice and quickly transition to more advanced techniques.

5. Swiss Ball Also known as a fitness ball, exercise ball, and balance ball, this inflated piece of rubber is found in every reputable gym accross the globe. One thing is for sure the Swiss Ball is here to stay! This ball can replace a preacher bench, be used for killer abdominal exercises, declined push ups, and much more. Its also fun to throw around in the pool and kids love it too! Fitness fun for the whole family, these balls come in all shapes and colors, a definite must have! Swiss Balls come in different sizes. The basic rule for choosing the correct size is that when you're sitting on the ball, you should be able to easily balance with your feet on the ground. Your hips and knees should both be at right angles. The size you choose should be based on height. Ball Diameter to Person's Height 45cm = up to 5'0", 55cm = 5'1" to 5'7", 65cm = 5'8" to 6'1",75cm = 6'2" to 6'7". I recommend the TKO 65cm Fitness Ball with Pump and Chart

6. Extra Weight Plates - If you ask a bodybuilder what they need, what they really need, I bet "more weight plates" will be at the top of the list. Bodybuilding and weight training rely on progressive training, adding more weight, to gain more muscle, to get ripped and huge. So it only makes sense that eventually you will need to buy more weights. Some good sized weight plates under the tree are a sure bet.

7. Under Armour - Under Armour gear is just pretty fantastic in my opinion. At first I didn't see what all the fuss was about until I got Under Armour Men's Performance Underwear for christmas one year. This underwear makes a HUGE difference in my workout and is worth every penny. It might make you laugh but you won't know unless you try them for yourselves! Sweat 'down there' is never welcome and can cause foul odors and major discomfort. Under Armour isn't just another brand name. The comfort level is top notch, the fabric forms to the body making you look awesome, and you feel like your skin can breath better. They also have a new line of loose fitting clothing that should appeal to everyone. The technology incorporated into their fabrics allows the skin to breath without sweat soaking your clothes. Personally, I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like to have an under armour shirt wrapped up with a bow. Save Up To 50% Off Plus Free Shipping.

8. Books - A major part of success in being fit, exercising and eating healthy is staying educated. You can never have too much information and books also work as a great motivational tool. Having the answers at your fingertips might give you the extra confidence to go out and live your dream of being healthy and in great shape. Arnold Schwarzenegger's The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding : The Bible of Bodybuilding, Fully Updated and Revised is one of the best bodybuilding books out there. Come on, its The Arnold, what more do I need to say? He's the man!

9. Gloves Lifting gloves are a great gift and really show some thought. Its the little things that count and gloves are a small accessory that make a big difference in comfort during an intense workout. Barbells, dumbbells and pull-ups can cause major blisters and slow down progress, inviting infection and inflamation. Gloves ad comfort and stability to any weightlifting routine. Most guys I know will use the same pair of smelly old gloves until someone buys them a new pair. Be that someone.

10. 24 Hour Fitness Gym Membership - Ah the pies de resistance! 24 Hour Fitness is pretty awesome. I belong to one and the major WOW factor for me was that it's open all the time. This is a crazy world we live in where people work all hours of the day and lead busy hectic lives and getting to the gym by 9PM sometimes isn't an option. What about that guy who leaves for work at 7AM and wants to get up at 5 to hit the weights? 24 Hour Fitness is the place for him too. The other great thing is that they have all the newest equipment, awesome classes, experienced trainers, basketball, heated lap pools, volleyball, racquetball, and massage - as well as saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpools to help you relax and most have a child care center. Oh and the best thing is that membership is competitively affordable and there is a monthly pay option which means NO CONTRACT NECESSARY. You can try out 24 Hour Fitness and see if you like it without worrying about commitment. Going on vacation? Its very likely that there is a 24 Hour Fitness near your destination. Your membership allows you the privilege to use any 24 Hour Fitness site nationwide. This is a perfect gift for anyone! Special 1 year one club sport membership $199.99 for the whole year!
