6 Ways to Make Mother’s Day Sweeter this Year

This week we’re celebrating Mother’s Day with our friends over atFitbit。无论您是妈妈还是碰巧有一个妈妈,您都会发现一年四季保持健康快乐的技巧和建议。(哦,别忘了,妈妈为您的健身部落提供了很好的补充!)

With all thenegative buzz around added sugarlately, showing up at mom’s with a cake this weekend might not be the smartest move. So how do you celebrate her day without inadvertently wrecking her diet or putting her health at risk? Here are 6 simple ways to keep things sweet and make Mother’s Day even more special this year.

1. Pound the pavementLace up your sneakers and register the two of you for a fun run/walk in your area. (SearchEventbriteto find one near you, or plan out your own route withMapMyFitness。) A sweat session with mom is the perfect time to gab about the rest of the family, and the finish line photo will totally be frame-worthy.

2. Hit the farmer’s market for flowersSure, mom would be more than happy to get a ready-made bouquet from the grocery store. But why not take her to a farmer’s market and let her pick out her own blossoms, instead. And while you’re there, check out the produce that’s in season. You get fresh groceriesandalone time with mom—score!

3. Take her dancingWe’re willing to bet your mom’s got moves—and she’d probably love to show them off somewhere other than your cousin’s wedding. Country line dancing, square dancing (don’t knock it—it’s a ton of fun!), your favorite Zumba class, there are lots of places for you and mom to get your groove going!

4. Make dinner togetherYes, this is mom’s special day, so she shouldn’t be spending it in the kitchen cooking for everyone else. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t ask her to share the secret family chicken recipe you’ve been dying to learn. Call ahead for the ingredients list and arrive with everything washed, prepped, and ready to go. (Pack a nice salad to serve with the meal, too.) Then watch and learn from the master mother chef!

5. Two words: tandem bikeWhat could be more fun (um, funnier?) than a bicycle built for two? Riding a bike torches tons of calories, which will help mom burn off that breakfast in bed. And, again, think of the terrific photo ops! If you can’t seem to get the rhythm of pedaling together, you can always hop on a couple of single-seaters and tour your town with a little more autonomy.

6. Friend her on Facebook还记得与父母闲逛的时候不是很酷吗?那些日子早已一去不复返了(谢天谢地!),现在要做的是让妈妈在状态更新中大喊大叫。分享您最喜欢的照片,让她知道她对您的真正意义。她会从网上闻名。

What are some of the sweet ways you’ll be celebrating with mom this week? Tell us in the comments below!
