Birthday Shopping For My Dad

Every year my father’s birthday rolls around and I’m presented with the same old problem, but before I get into that I should tell you a little about my dad. My dad’s not rich, but when he wants something he gets it. He’s working in the garage and needs a wrench so he goes out and buys a wrench. This sounds like it’s a good thing, but it always makes it hard to think of good gift ideas for men for him. This year I spent a lot of time thinking so I could get the best gift possible for this amazing man. I work really hard every year so again this year I’ll put in some major effort.

Now I guess I need to tall you something else about my dad, he doesn’t exactly “take care” of himself like he should. He has a horrible diet full of junk that only a 3 year old would want, he drinks more beer than a football team, and he’s rather spend a day in front of the TV then doing much else. I worry a lot about his weight because who knows if he will make it to see my first child get born or my graduation. Anyway all that got me thinking that I could get some inspiration by asking my friend, who is a personal trainer, for some quick weight loss tips. It really paid off that I asked because he told me some very useful information on things you can do for people who aren’t in shape. I want to help my dad get in shape so he can be around forever.

He started out by telling me the standard stuff one would expect like getting a good diet and exercise. When I inquired about quick fixes like supplements he was quick to caution me against them. After I asked he let me know that they are for bodybuilders and athletes, neither of which describe my dad. The weight loss supplements are basically a sham, containing little more then herbs my grandmother keeps for cooking in the cupboards. What I was really interested in was his suggested was that I look into some exercise equipment. Following some research that I did, I could tell this was a smart idea for a gift for this years birthday. It might not be a present he wants, but it’s definitely something he needs. I just really hope my dear dear father has a great birthday.
