Top Fitness Must-Haves in 2016

Top Fitness Must-Haves in 2016

As the shopping season has approached, I get a lot of emails throughout the year asking me what I would personally recommend buying.

I went ahead and whipped this article up so you can see what I recommend.

Before I get into the article, the majority of my links will use an affiliate link.

What does that mean?

All this means is that if you decide to purchase the item(s) I recommend, I get a percentage of the sale. This goes to support this blog, including subscriptions to Adobe programs, web hosting, and stock photos. The price you pay for items do not change regardless if you use my link or not, I just get a small percentage for referring products that I love.

Everything in this list are things that I own or have used – I will not recommend random products.

Let’s get on to that list!

Top Fitness Must-Haves in 2016

Everything in this list are things I’ve used, I own, or someone has shown me. These would be great gifts for yourself or for your swolemate.

Fitness Accessories

This section is for things that either help with fitness or can go in your gym bag.

Foam Roller

Foam Roller

Foam rollers hurt like hell but body tempering and working out some of those kinks feel really good. The regular foam rollers work well, but the extra rigidity and the extra shapes instead of a smooth roll makes this thing pretty awesome.

MMA/Boxing Setup

Heavy Bag

My friend bought this set from Amazon not too long ago and it’s great. I had a different heavy back and gloves and it was an amazing conditioning experience.

It’s real nice having something like this to take your frustrations out on, instead of kicking the dog.

Fat Gripz

Fat Gripz are a powerlifter’s best friend. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to hold onto a thin bar vs the 32mm shaft bars, but there is a huge difference in how much you can hold. These bad boys are similar to the cannon ball grips but they really make you work for grip.

If you have issues with grip strength, check out this article on building grip strength. You can also buy these :).

Electronics and Apps

My Fitness Pal

If you’re looking for an app to help with nutrition, My Fitness Pal is great. I just wanted to throw this app in this article in case you’ve not tried it.

Amazon Fire Stick

Amazon Fire Stick

I haven’t had cable TV in over a year and I don’t miss it. There’s ways to get extra out of your fire stick… totally worth it.

Focus T26 Shaun T’s New Workout DVD Program

FOCUS T25 Shaun T's NEW Workout DVD Program

I was over at my friend’s house not too long ago and they had purchased this T25 workout program. While this program is great for the average person, don’t expect to get ripped with this routine.

Jillian Michael’s BodyShred

Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED Someone bought this for me to try out and it really isn’t that bad. There’s a lot of gimmicks in it but the information in it is solid. If you or your friend(s) are looking for something to get started on your fitness journey at home, this would be a good start.

Supplements

Cutty’s Favorite Protein

Cutty’s Favorite Fat Burner

Drop Factor is the way to go. I’ve tried quite a few different fat burners that made me way too hot, made me itch, and just made me feel like crap. Drop Factor is great for energy, it puts a hurt on my appetite, and it’s just a smooth supplement. Hell I take them sometimes just for the energy.

Wrapping It Up
