Poughkeepsie,NY,USA --This Sunday is Father's Day. What do you get for the guy who never asks for directions even though you're clearly out in the boondocks? Remember, he's also the guy who chases away the boogeyman and is willing to make with the baby talk when needed. Here are some suggestions for giving dad something more moving than cologne.

An appropriate gift for any dad is shoes for his sport, be it walking or jogging. Other smart picks are cross trainers that are good for court sports - such as basketball, racquetball or tennis, or cleats for soccer or football.

For the man who has two left feet, yet longs to step rhythmically: dance lessons. Some hot choices are ballroom and Zumba workouts. Zumba is the newest, Latin-inspired dance craze that's lighting fitness fires in health clubs. It blends interval training, utilizing fast and slow rhythms, dance moves and resistance training for a total body sculpt and tone workout with plenty of sizzle.

Is your guy a cyclist? A mountain bike is ideal for an off-road wild ride, a mild trail or city street riding. Useful accessories are tire repair kits and bike-mounted tire pumps for on the road emergencies. Everyone looks good in a helmet with cool designs in cool eye-catching colors that make safety trendy and fashion-forward.

Does dad love to pump it up? He may be in need of some new weightlifting gloves. Look for features like wrist wraps and a padded grip. A set of adjustable dumbbells make a good thing better by becoming a space saving attractive workout system.

For a real old school Russian-inspired workout, try a kettlebell. It's a cannonball with a handle. Kettlebell drills are popular because the exercises work many muscle groups at once, dynamically, and are growing in popularity.

For the new-age kind of guy, there are plenty of toys. Many guys find a full lotus painfully impossible. A zafu, a traditional meditation pillow, makes for an essential yoga partner. A premium mat can help to take the stress off the joints in floor exercise like yoga and Pilates. Look for features such as close-cell foam for easy cleaning and a non-slip surface.

Is your dad a family man? Here are some ideas that allow dad to get moving with the brood. For some big family fun, try something small like a Frisbee. Other games, like badminton or volleyball encourage group participation.

How about a day at a theme park where there's plenty of walking along with the rides and other attractions? Hot picks for new dads are jogging strollers and ergonomically designed body baby carriers that distribute a newborn baby's weight evenly and comfortably, which combines the best of both worlds for active men who are parents with young children.

On second thought, with all that sweat, consider keeping the cologne as a gift.

Just kidding! Happy Father's Day!
