The Best Mother’s Day Gift

Until the birth of my son in February, I didn’t understand just how little time I would have as a mom. Between feeding every two hours, changing diapers what seems to be nonstop, playing so he hits developmental milestones, keeping up with his laundry and attempting to get any sort of non-baby related thing done while he’s strapped to my body, I find that every day ends with a growing list of things that I had hoped to do, but didn’t. Getting a workout seems to be on that list more often than not. 

Working out has never been a chore for me. I have always loved moving my body and before now it wasn’t a challenge to find time for daily movement. I’m realizing how easy it is for mothers to have one day without movement suddenly turn into two weeks, three months, and then it falls off the to do list completely because it feels like there’s never enough time. What I’m constantly reminding myself of now more than ever, is whether I have 10 minutes or 30 minutes to move my body, I’ve got to make the most of it in the way that works for me, and that is enough.

The list of reasons why I love the trampoline is longer than a CVS receipt, but high on that list is that it’s incredibly efficient; I know it’s always going to be the best use of my sacred movement time. A statistic I always come back to from a NASA study shows that in just 10 minutes of bouncing on a trampoline you burn the same amount of energy and build the same amount of endurance as you would in 30 minutes of running, making bounce 3x more effective than running. Now THAT is efficiency and it’s exactly what the moms in your life need. 

This mother’s day, whether you’re shopping for your mom, your partner, or yourself, give the gift of time well spent with the ness Starter Sweat bundle. This bundle pairs the ness trampoline with one month free of the ness digital platform where they can access a library of over 700 on demand videos and unlimited livestream classes.
