__On Deck__ Similar to the longboards that skate pioneer Tom Sims started riding in 1975, these custom-crafted decks are made from sturdy beechwood and are available in 45-, 48-, and 53-inch models. They're all the perfect size for anyone who's looking to burn a few calories between points A and B. [__APN Cruiser | $170 and up__](http://signup.apublicnuisance.co.uk/)

__Crossover Vehicle__ The Budnitz Model No. 3 will help you navigate curbs, potholes, and any other city obstacles with its rustproof 3.6-pound titanium frame and silent carbon belt drive. But the bike's massive 29-inch wheels and 2.35-inch-wide tires make it equally suited for off-road trails. [__Budnitz Model No. 3 Bicycle | $4,745__](http://budnitzbicycles.com/bicycles)

__Fitness Hound__ Your dog's been giving you the stink eye since you bought yourself an Up. But now he can finally have his own wearable—the Whistle will break down his daily activity and show how he compares to other users' pooches. Log food, meds, and vet notes, and soon you'll be tracking Fido's health records better than your own. [__Whistle Activity Monitor | $130__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HNEII0A?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Spin Doctor__ Garmin offers a power meter for cyclists that's shockingly easy to install and use: It's an actual pedal. Hook the Vector into your bike's spindle and a sensor measures power right at the source, gauging deflection through your pedal stroke. May the force be with you. [__Garmin Vector | $1,700__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DXM5PYI?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Handicap Tracker__ Up your golf game with cold, hard data. This Yves Béhar-designed GPS tracker measures your putts per hole, how often you land in the fairway, and a lot more. Screw the individual discs into the top of your club grips, tap them against a small plastic GPS box you wear on your belt, and let the numbers roll in. RIP, tiny pencils. [__Game Golf | $249__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JDZWQZK?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Goody Bag__ If the idea of toting around a canvas gym duffel makes you feel wimpy, know this: Steele Canvas Basket also makes bags that are used in armored cars. The material is water-resistant all around and antibacterial on the bottom—tougher than it looks, just like you. [__Steeletex Gym Bag | $168__](https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/bags/travelbags/PRDOVR~A7120/A7120.jsp)

__Dated Letterman__ From the folks who brought us the Greatest Hoodie Ever comes a jacket that will keep you cozy to and from your training sessions. This varsity jacket is designed using 12.4-ounce combed ringspun fleece and is reinforced in all the right places. [__American Giant Varsity Jacket | $99__](http://www.american-giant.com/men-s-varsity-jacket.html)

__Stride Right__ Nike uses single strands of superstrong polyester yarn to make this running shoe ultralight and to reduce material waste in manufacturing. Couple that with the sole's hexagonal grooves, which bend with your natural stride, and you're in for a feel-good run. [__Nike Free Flyknit 3.0 Shoes | $140__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JFVEYIO?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Power Ball__ These medicine balls are stuffed with hide scraps left over from manufacturing other leather products. They're so soft, you may even want to hold on to one for a few more sit-ups. [__Handsome Dan Leather Head Medicine Ball | $325__](http://www.leatherheadsports.com/collections/medicine-balls/products/copy-of-chromexcel-leather-head-12lb-medicine-ball)

__Active Listening__ Toss those uncooperative earphones that never stay put. Instead, tune in while on the move with Sol Republic's Relays. A flexible patent-pending rubber ring circles each earbud, creating a snug custom fit and keeping sweat from slipping you up. [__Sol Republic Relays Earphones | $80__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HZ62SLG?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Follow Your Heart__ Fitness apps are great. But most limit you to tracking only your daily steps and caloric intake. Go farther with Wahoo's Tickr heart monitor. It connects wirelessly to your smartphone, providing real-time data that'll have you dialing in fitness goals and maximizing workout efficiency. [__Wahoo Tickr Heart Rate Monitor | $59__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00INQVYZ8?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Pranayama Promoter__ There's no better place to clear your mind than on this Adidas yoga mat. Grippy soft foam means you won't slip between positions. When class is over, roll it up and secure it with the included shoulder strap. It's about as easy as a downward dog. [__Adidas Yoga Mat | $50__](http://www.adidas.com/us/product/womens-tennis-yoga-mat/DEV17?cid=G91542)

__A Different Beat__ Nothing motivates quite like a solid pump-up track. So why do most of us settle for breaking a sweat with low-rent earbuds? Beats by Dre gave its Solo headphones a gym-worthy upgrade with a more durable headband and new breathable material for its earcups that prevents overheating while still minimizing sound loss. [__Beats by Dre Solo2 | $200__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IYA2RMW?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Flight Jacket__ A nod to the jacket that took Nike from a footwear to a fashion brand back in the late '70s, the Tech Windrunner sports the same style lines as the original but is updated with lightweight nylon for breathability. Color-block options let you play on past and present trends. [__Nike Tech Windrunner Jacket | $180__](http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/tech-windrunner-jacket/pid-944826/pgid-944824)

__Coach Siri__ As a personal assistant, Siri can be a little dingy, but sync her with Moov and you'll find yourself training with a pocket-sized Mickey Goldmill. Optimized for running, cycling, swimming, cardio boxing, and body-weight workouts, the core unit uses three motion sensors to deliver sport-specific real-time feedback so you can hone your skills and avoid injury. [__Moov | $120__](http://preorder.moov.cc/)

__Tune Out__ The latest addition to Sonos' line of wireless speakers may be small, but the Play:1's two custom drivers still pump out plenty of hi-fi sound. Stick it in the corner, cue up your favorite chill-out playlist on Spotify, and forget about that horrible techno you endured at spin class. [__Sonos Play:1 | $199__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EWCUK1Q?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Running Mate__ TomTom combines everything you need to optimize your runs in one watch. With a big bright display, a simple one-button interface, GPS, and a wrist-mounted heart rate sensor, it's easy to track your progress and boost your speed. [__TomTom Runner Cardio Watch | $270__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JD4TFD2?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Comfort Zone__ When you're headed out for a jog, comfort and safety are paramount. But let's be honest, looking good isn't far down the list. With this sweatshirt, you get all three: soft, sweat-wicking French terry cotton, an eye-catching pop of color, and a complementary cut. [__Adidas Run Sweatshirt | $120__](http://www.global.adidas.com/)

__No-Scream Ice Cream__ The last place you want to get caught spraining your wrist is at the bottom of an ice cream pint. The angled head and spade-shaped edge on Belle-V's scoop makes scraping up those last bits of rocky road as painless as turning a doorknob. [__Belle-V Ice Cream Scoop | $50__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JCJB9AA?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20)

__Stretch Out__ Stand out in the sea of black spandex that is your daily yoga class. Adidas' Studio Long Tights and Run Performance Tank will keep you comfortable in crane pose. And when things heat up, the company's Climalite fabric ensures you'll feel as cool as you look. __[Adidas Studio Long Tights](http://www.adidas.com/com/product/M61538/) and [Run Performance Tank | $185](http://www.adidas.com/us/product/womens-tennis-run-performance-tank/LMJ20?cid=M61545)__
