The Men’s Guide to Getting Fit at Disney

Now is a great time to get fit at Disney!
Though it is difficult to make the time, now is a perfect opportunity where you start to make baby steps toward clean eating and exercise.

To ensure you’re ready to get moving, stock up on these Disney-inspired fitness must-haves that make sweating it out that much easier:
Gaston Workout Tank
Sure, you probably don’t want to be a real-life Gaston from Beauty & the Beast—considering his ego is larger than Walt Disney World itself. That being said, his physique is something to be envious of, considering he dedicated time and energy into staying fit. Channel his attitude, hard work and impressive strength when you sport this workout tank while running outside or at your go-to fitness hub.
Mickey Mouse Water Bottle
You likely already know how important it is to stay hydrated, no matter the time of year. But did you know the super-scorching heat and any uptick in exercise means you should double (if not triple) your water intake. As a way to be kind to the environment and show off your Disney fandom, carry around this classic Mickey Mouse water bottle and refill it frequently. It is ideal for your desk at the office, the treadmill at the gym, or even clipping onto your backpack for sunset or sunrise hikes. Just make sure your children know it is for you—since they’ll definitely want to steal it.
Disney’s No Show Socks

While they’re not exactly exciting, they do provide protection for your feet when you push through sprints, a bootcamp class or a jog around town. What’s great about this collection of #TBT no-show socks is no one will know you’re paying tribute to your beloved characters. From Mickey and Goofy to Daffy, these subtle but effective socks will keep you movin’ and groovin’.
Disney Running Shoes

Not only does it track your steps, calories and more, but it serves as a constant reminder to take note of your health.
