This Mother’s Day, remember that it’s not enough to offer a personalized expression of all that gratitude you probably should express more than once a year — you also have to remind the mother of your child that she’s much more than that. These Mother’s Day gifts for fit moms don’t celebrate the fact that she’s a badass mom as much as the fact that she’s a badass, period. Whatever she does to stay that way, whether it’s yoga, daily gym visits, or preparing nutritious meals your disappearing dadbod will thank her for later, something on this list will help her keep it up.
