__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.

__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.
