Fitness Gifts for Moms That Are Strong, Sporty, and Seriously Amazing

Celebrate the strong, sporty mom in your life with the best Mother’s Day fitness gifts for moms! I’ve rounded up my favorite health, fitness, and wellness finds — from the oversized Sanctum XL sunglasses by Tifosi to the must-have Healing Red Light Pad from Novaalabs, plus stylish workout essentials like the Adjustable Bra by Handful and the Leaps & Rebound Fitness Rebounder. Bonus: score discounts on top brands like Greatness Wins, IUGA, Hyrox, and Previnex to make gifting even sweeter!

Sanctum XL Sunglasses by Tifosi:  A popular style of Tifosi sunglasses just got supersized—meet Sanctum XL. Designed for those who demand a larger fit, broader coverage in sports eyewear – I was so happy if fit with my big head. Even though they are larger, they still feel nice and lightweight. With 25% more lens area, it delivers expanded UVA/UVB protection and keeps me from squinting so much. Find them HERE.

Healing Red Light Pad from Novaalabs:  She’ll enjoy the benefits of temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness in the back, knees, and neck from this multi-placement red-light pad (an included Velcro strip helps keep the pad where needed).  The light wavelengths help non-invasively heal tissues up to 1” deep by reducing inflammation, encouraging blood vessel development, increasing collagen production and more.  I primarily use my pad to manage arthritis pain and minor DOMS. SO many benefits from Red Light, you should Google it! This company also has many other red-light devices worth checking out! Use my Novaalabs discount code JENNIFER10 to save 10%.

Adjustable Bra in Battle Cry Pink by Handful: If ever there was the most perfect bra, THIS IS IT! That’s why I currently have 12+ of this style! It’s the ultimate blend of comfort, versatility, and performance – soft, sweat-wicking, removable pads (the nicest I’ve seen), I love how this bra is super flattering on my no-so-curvy shape.  But, if you do have curves, they have sports bras for that enviable shape too! Plus, Handful donates 12.5% of revenue from every style bra in the Battle Cry Pink color to the Young Survivor Coalition in recognition of the 1 in 8 women diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Fitness Rebounder (Mini Trampoline) by Leaps & Rebound: I love this low-impact way to get more movement in my day. The rebounder features bungee cords instead of springs – choose a 40” or 48” circumference.

Personally, I think the 48” is the most versatile! I use this mini-trampoline to improve balance, coordination and strength – all while enjoying a little extra movement that is low-impact – so helpful for my 55+ bod! Get it HERE with a 10% discount Code: JENNIFERL or on Amazon

Kissing Strap Dress by Greatness Wins: Cutest little performance sports dress that is perfect for golf, pickleball, festival-going or an active day of errands.

The functional styling includes a strappy back detail and interior shelf bra removeable pads. Save 25% on your entire purchase at Greatness Wins with code: JENNIFERF25

SUPERPLUSH™ Women’s Flipflop from Roll Recovery” The SUPERPLUSH™ line was created to be a refuge for tired feet after a run or workout. Exceptionally comfortable, they’re engineered for foot health and recovery. I found them very comfortable and supportive and appreciated the premium foam technology that is sustainably sourced foam that uses Algae instead of harsh chemicals.

 PowerTight Scrunch Butt Shorts (leggings too) by IUGA: Super affordable and super flattering shorts to help you smash gym day. Designed to sculpt, shape, and support, these shorts are your ultimate companion for workouts and beyond.

Low-Carb Watermelon Chia Syrup and Valentine’s Day Brunch Inspo!

This post is sponsored by the National Watermelon Board. However, all opinions, comments, content and enthusiasm remain my own!

This girl loves her syrup, especially fruit syrups, but not the sickening amount of sugar that comes along with most – and it’s usually high-fructose corn syrup in those purchased syrup bottles to boot. Ugh. But, my Low-Carb Watermelon Chia Syrup makes a MUCH healthier option, taking advantage of the fruit’s natural sweetness along with a little stevia. It could even be considered a keto syrup, depending on your carb intake for the day.Low Carb Watermelon Chia Syrup
