Many moms have a drawer filled with mother's day gifts that never got used. Gift cards that went un-swiped and shoes that have gotten used to seeing the back of the closet. So who's this day really about anyway? It's about you and you deserve to treat yourself to a great Mother's Day gift. I've listed some great ideas that will help you relax and feel better about yourself, all while keeping your health and fitness in mind.
1. Hire a fitness trainer or other consultant. Whether it's 20 lbs. you want to lose or you need some help cleaning up the house, there is a professional for everything these days. Working out with a personal trainer will relieve stress and help you feel better about yourself. Likewise hiring someone to help out around the house, watch the kids, or give a great massage, these all are great ways to just kickback and relax.
2. Get Active, On-line! So maybe you don't have the time to go to the gym or the financial resources to pay for a trainer, there is a number of great websites out there that offer personal training and nutritional consulting on-line at a fraction of the price. These are great because you can get a great workout in your home without having to worry about leaving the kids with someone or feel intimidated by the gym atmosphere.
3. Get the spa special, go all out! Get a facial, get a pedicure, get your hair done professionally. Have your make-up done and get a massage to relax. After doing one or maybe even all of these it would be impossible to not feel better and relaxed.
4. Take a class. Get your friends together and take a yoga or pilates class. Most of the time you can find these at your local YMCA or other gyms in your area. These provide a social environment that not only will benefit your body, but will relax your mind.
5. Go shopping! Go get some cool, new sneakers or buy a cute outfit to do your classes in. You know your going to want to wear a new outfit so make it athletic and give yourself more of a reason to workout!
You've got the ideas, now you just need to put them into play. Don't hold back, go all out this Mother's Day. You deserve it!
