9 Best Fitness Gifts to Buy Yourself as a Mom

Showing yourself love means taking care of your health and improving your body, mind and soul.

When it comes to improving your body, there is probably no better way but movement.

To support your fitness goals I have created a list of some nice and useful stuff, that might motivate you to start moving.

Buying yourself a nice fitness gift is not a cost, it is a long term investment in your health and wellbeing.

That being said, don’t wait until Monday or next month to start exercising. Instead, buy yourself something that will motivate you to start working out today.

I have 9 fitness gift ideas and 3 suggestions for each of them, to make you want to start moving.

Hope these suggestions will inspire you to start your “Mom’s fitness journey” and boost your healthy lifestyle mood.

Yoga / Pilates Mat

It is so good idea to start exercising Pilates at home. In online studio pilates you have 7 day free trial, so make sure to click this link to sign up.

Before you start exercising at-home you will need the most important piece of equipment – a pilates or yoga mat.

Good yoga or pilates mat can provide you far better exercise experience and which is even more important, safety.

Finding a perfect yoga or pilates mat for yourself is not an easy job.

We all have different requirements and different exercise habits, which are also taken into account when it comes to buying a perfect mat for yourself.

There are really a lot out there, so it might be complicated to choose the right one.

If you are a beginner I would recommend you a thicker mat (about 1 cm). But anyway it is very important to make sure it is not stretchy and slippery.

Once you find a perfect mat for yourself, you will understand why is this so important and how it can actually level up your exercise experience.

Bottle

Drinking the required 2 l of water daily is more achievable when you have a nice bottle to carry with you wherever you go. Believe me, whenever I bought myself a beautiful bottle I would carry it around like crazy. Single-use water bottles are usually unhealthy for you and bad for our Planet. Some of those are even proven to cause cancers, infertility, and even birth defects.

Health should be your number one priority, so find yourself a healthy reusable water bottle that will make you properly hydrated.

There are many options out there, so it might be not so easy job to find out which are the healthiest options for yourself and the planet.

That is why I did the research and found some great products, to save your time.

Oh, and prices for reusable bottles are generally higher, but it pays off since they can last for years and years.

Investing in experiences, especially the healthy once, was always my thing.

Workout set

Nothing motivates me to workout like new workout set.

I am completely obsessed by matching sets, and I always chose lighter colours and comfortable materials.

I prefer wearing leggings and sport bra, but you will find many long slave crop tops in my wardrobe as well.

There are few things I am always looking for when it comes to buying a new pair of workout clothes.

Firstly I, as probably many moms, love high waisted leggings because in those I feel like my core is better supported, and I feel more confident.

Secondly I love really long once, since I am 174 cm (5’8) it is not easy to match that requirement. So I always check the length of leggings when buying.

Bra is less complicated for me and I the only requirement I have is to be a proper size and wide straps. I like also racer back, which are great for cardio and hiit trainings since they give you better support.

Supplements

Honestly, this part of self-care is very often neglected from my side. The thing is that I hate pills and find it very challenging to swallow.

Anyway adding an additional nutrient boost is very welcome and recommended especially for vegan people, as I am.

So, make sure to eat healthy, because that is just the best way to get all recommended vitamins and miners, but adding some supplement can only improve your life and health.

Recently I found these amazing products by Dr. Anna Cabeca.

I was trilled with all the amazing products you can find in her shop. Make sure to check out everything, and I am sharing my favourite.

Hand weights

Adding some weights can make a Pilates more challenging and get you such amazing results.

In Pilates we always care about proper body position and gentle movement, so any workout that includes hand weights will give you an amazing body defining effect.

Don’t be afraid of getting bulky, with Pilates it is just impossible.

Having a nice mat and pair of dumbbells will never again make you want to go to the gym, because you will have at home everything you need for effective workouts.

1. New Balance Dumbbells – Neoprene (3 lb / 1.3 kg)

Resistance band

There is one more at-home-pilates piece of equipment that I really use very often at home, and that is resistance band.

It is amazing how creative you can buy with this small thing.

There is infinitely many exercises that can be done with a resistance band.

I find resistance bands more useful than booty bands, which are recently more popular amongst women.

1. Resistance Bands for Legs and Butt

Resistance band is the best way to tone your butt, legs and even arms. These are really good, they don’t slip and you have 3 levels of resistance: light, medium and heavy.

Mat Bag

If you exercise at home, a mat bag is something you probably don’t think you need, until you buy it.

I decided to invest in a good mat, so I needed something to protect it.

When standing without any cover in the house, it is alway on the target of kids play or damage by pushing other stuff on it.

Buying a nice mat bug saved my beautiful mat and it is also useful when you need to carry your mat outside.

For example, I love taking my mat on vacation, it motivates me to keep moving my body even when traveling.

Other family members find it motivating as well to join me and have a really active and useful vacation which we start each day with a joyful movement.
