Not Bro
  • Lifeline Power Wheel

    Last week, we got our annual series of Holiday Wish Lists going with gift ideas for the music-loving Bro. Up next: gear for the gym junkie, by new health & fitness contributor Mike Arone.

  • Iron Gym
    Iron Gym

    We all know that getting to the gym can become a challenge between classes, work, or getting laid. But if you've got a doorway at home, you can put together a full-body workout routine on this one piece of equipment. Buy it at Iron Gym ($29.99)

  • Chop Buds Headphones
    Chop Buds Headphones

    Listening to music is a great way to get amped during your workout. Whether you're bumping to the new Drake album or yet another Avicii mix, it can be a big distraction (and highly fucking annoying) if your headphones keep popping out of your ears. Ask for a pair of Chops Buds by Skullcandy. They’re designed to stay in your dumbos while you're lifting, running, or pretending not to hit on the girl on the yoga mat. Buy it at Skullcandy.com ($19.99)

  • TRX Pro Kit
    TRX Pro Kit

    Basically a gym that fits in your pocket, TRX is a creative way to get your workouts in, literally anywhere, through suspension training. It can be anchored a door, tree, or other object that's not going anywhere, instantly creating a convenient spot to get a challenging workout in. It is highly recommended by professional athletes and trainers all over the world. Buy it at TRX Training ($199.95)

  • The Grid Foam Roller
    The Grid Foam Roller

    I like to refer to this as a "ghetto" massage. Tight muscles? Sore back? Wish you could hit up the spa to get those knots rubbed out? The foam roller is a simple solution to help loosen trigger points, breakdown tight muscles, and increase flexibility. Use this for 10 minutes before every workout as part of your warm-up (or, for skiers, a day out on the slopes), and you will never train without it. Buy it at PerformBetter.com ($39.95)

  • Buddy Lee Master Jump Rope
    Buddy Lee Master Jump Rope

    This isn’t your typical "Double Dutch" rope. Nope, this shit right here is a Buddy Lee official jump rope. This bad boy is designed with a swivel bearing system that is technically engineered for eliminating friction, drag, and tangling, and allows smooth turning action in all directions. And don't forget: jumping rope is the best fat loss tool known to man. Period. Buy at Buddyleejumprope.com ($27.95)

  • Nike+ SportsWatch GPS by TomTom
    Nike+ SportsWatch GPS by TomTom

    Beside the fact that this watch just looks sick, having a GPS on your wrist allows you to measure accurate speed and distance information, both indoors and outdoors. The Nike+ SportWatch GPS by TomTom tracks your time, distance, pace, heart rate, and calories burned. You can then transfer all data right onto your computer through the USB Connects that are built into the watch. Buy it at Nike ($199.00)

  • Nike SPARQ Vest
    Nike SPARQ Vest

    This weighted vest will help add speed, power, agility, reaction and quickness. It is made with a breathable mesh and easy-to-clean microfilament, so that when you puke all over yourself after a grueling workout, the clean up won’t be too bad. Extra weights are available separately in sets of four to increase difficulty. Buy it at Nike ($175.00)

  • Reebok ZigDynamic Sneakers
    Reebok ZigDynamic Sneakers

    If you’re looking for a solid cross-training sneaker for multipurpose workouts, Reebok’s ZigDynamic are pretty sick. They are built for any type of workout because the unique ZigTech sole is designed to provide the “perfect balance of energy efficiency and cushioning.” There is a shit-ton of colors to choose from (custom as well), so when your buddy decides to also buy them, you won’t look like idiots rocking the exact same kicks as you do your circuits. Buy at Reebok ($99.99)

  • Under Armour Paramount Gym Bag
    Under Armour Paramount Gym Bag

    Everyone thinks it’s pretty weird that you still bring your gym clothes in a grocery bag. Step it up this Christmas with an UA Paramount Gym Bag. Though it is primarily a gym bag, it’s perfect as a carry-on and has separate pockets for everything from your iPod to your dirty underwear. Buy at Under Armour ($39.99)

  • On Whey Optimum Protein
    On Whey Optimum Protein

    Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a bottle of protein right? O.K., maybe it isn’t the most "typical" gift on your Christmas List, but with all of the overpriced options out there it might be a good idea to gain some insight. On Whey by Optimum is a quality hydrolyzed whey protein. This means it doesn’t contain "whey concentrate," which might as well be freeze-dried dog shit and serves no benefit other than to be a cheap filler ingredient. There are a ton of different flavors to choose from and the taste is second to none—best bang for your buck protein on the market. Buy it at Bodybuilding.com ($23.99 for 2 lbs./$48.99 for 5 lbs.)
