The best way to say happy mother’s day to a mom that wants to loose a couple of pounds and get in shape is with this fit gift guide that will help her along this process.
Losing weight is no easy feat but you can support your mom if you encourage some new healthy habits in her life. Mother’s day is a perfect way to get her started on her health journey toward her new lifestyle.
Protein powder kit
Incorporating more protein into your diet is a must in order to loose some fat and increase muscle mass, so you can encourage this healthy habit by getting your mom a starter’s protein kit.
The most important element to keep in mind is to get quality protein powders; usually the best ones are made out of whey or soy protein, but egg protein can also be a good choice. Just as well, check they are properly regulated and makes sure they are made in a trustworthy lab.
There are plenty of protein kits in the market and they frequently come in an incredible wide range of flavors so a starter kit will give your mom the opportunity to try what she likes the best. You can even get some kits that not only include protein powders, but also protein bars and ready to drink shakes.
Say happy Mother’s day with this Sportswear
If your mom is going to start working out, you can always get her some new sportswear. Practicing some sort of physical activity is very important in order to lead a healthy lifestyle and doing it in comfortable clothes is essential.
There are a lot of items you can get her, but it is always a good idea to start with the basics: leggings or shorts, a sports bra, breathable shirts, socks, and good tennis shoes. If she’s working out outdoors, don’t forget to get her a hat and sunglasses.
A positive thing about gifting her some work out clothes is there are a lot of cheap options, so you won’t have to spend a lot of money to give her a fabulous mother’s day gift that will not fail to make her happy.
Fitness tracker
You can find these devices in many different styles, from the simplest device that only tracks steps, to the fanciest one out there that tracks calories consumed, oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure.
A fitness tracker would be a great ally for your mom if she wants to start training since it will help her understand what’s happening in her body when she’s doing high interval intensity training or lifting weights in the gym. And some of them can be linked to the phone, so she won’t even have to carry hers if she goes for a run or if she’s out for a walk.
INDIBA Laser for body contouring
If you want to splurge on an amazing gift, INDIBA is one of the most technologically advanced treatments in the cosmetic world. Basically it is a radio frequency body treatment that offers two benefits: diminishing cellulite and reduction of local fat.
This treatment can help people by hydrating the skin and activating collagen production, which in turn increases the production of elastin and hyaluronic acid. Because of this, the skin recovers elasticity and firmness, while regenerating skin cells that form new tissue and give way to healthier skin.
The laser can help reduce several types of cellulite, like the edematous, adipose, and fibrous kinds. The laser current is applied in a specific frequency directly in the zone to treat, amplifying the body temperature on a deeper level. With time, this heat will not only dissolve the excess fat, it will also give you more tone and firmness in the body tissue.
Additionally it also activates blood flow, reduces edemas and lipomas, improves cutaneous elasticity, and softens stretch marks- all things that tend to be concerns in people that have lost some weight.
Gifting your mom some sessions could be an amazing gift. It is recommended to have between 6-12 sessions (each one lasts around 30-80 minutes depending on the treatment area), although the results can be visible after the first session.
It is non invasive, doesn’t have secondary effects, and it’s painless. However keep in mind it isn’t advised for people with electronic implants and pacemakers, people in psychological treatment, or those with thrombosis, so depending on your mom’s health conditions she won’t be the ideal candidate for this treatment. And needless to say, the sessions are not cheap either.
Reusable water bottle
Drinking more water will be necessary if your mom wants to loose some weight, and the best way to do so is to get her a reusable water bottle.
A lot of plastic bottles are filled with harmful chemicals than can be hazardous for the body, so it’s best if you get her a stainless steel one or a glass one.
Stainless steel is a good durable choice that will keep the water cold for hours, but they are not as visually appealing as the glass ones. On the other hand, glass bottles look very pretty and are easy to clean, but they are very delicate. Consider your mom’s special needs before deciding which material would the most ideal one for her lifestyle.
Fitness classes for a happy mother’s day
Getting your mom some fitness classes at her local gym can be a wonderful mother’s day gift, especially if it’s a class she has never taken before.
Pilates reformer is a good choice if she doesn’t like high intensity training but still wants something effective for weight loss.
Spinning is also a popular choice since it can burn a lot of calories and improve cardiovascular resistance. If your mom wants to focus on toning her legs while losing fat in a relatively short amount of time, this would an excellent gift.
If she’s not into working out, gifting her some Zumba classes may be a good idea since it can feel like a dance class and not a work out session. It improves coordination while burning calories, can be adapted for different fitness levels, and it’s entertaining. And you can tag along with her for a good bonding session.
Be on the look out, since typically a lot of gyms offer special discounts and promotions around Mother’s Day.
Work out materials
If going to the gym is a little intimidating for your mom but she still wants to drop a few pounds, getting her some work out gear so she can work out at home would be perfect.
There are plenty of selections to choose from; you can get her some resistance bands since they are versatile can be used for legs, glutes, arms, abs, and back exercises, or some classic dumbbells or weights so she can strength train at home. If your mom is older or has mobility issues both of these are amazing choices since they are low intensity and increase muscle mass, a necessity in older people.
If you’re looking for something bolder or more advanced, you can get her a suspension training kit so she can train at home. Want to go the extra mile? Get her a trampoline for adults! It’s a fun work out that will also help her improve her balance.
Your mom deserves the best, so make sure to celebrate a happy mother’s day with her so that she can be the best version of herself.
