I Heart a New Massage Bathtub for Christmas

If you’re looking to give your wife something special for Christmas, make sure that it’s something that she’s going to use. Elliptical trainers and weight benches might get you in shape but their charm wears off after the holidays. But she’ll never get bored of her massage bathtub from Soak Saskatoon. Breaking a sweat doesn’t have to be hard work!

From the appropriately named Shell Series to the stunning Whale Series and luxurious Jazz Series, we’re sure that we have the right massage bathtub for her … and you. Because after all, you need to alleviate the stress and soothe those sore muscles through the intense targeted hydromassage that only a steam massage bathtub can give you.

When you think about taking a bath it shouldn’t be an ordinary experience. It should stimulate all of her senses with LED lighting, chromatherapy and jetted massage therapy that will start or end your day with the ultimate in relaxation. Beginning the day feeling your best will bring out her best. Likewise going to bed after a warm bath will allow her to enjoy the peace and tranquility that comes with a deep sleep.

Come in to Soak Saskatoon for a Christmas gift that she’ll never forget.

Move Your Workout To Your Shower

With work and taking care of the kids, it seems like there is never enough time to workout. We’re given workout routines for the car or at our desk but nobody ever talks about the exercise routines that you can do in the shower.  Before we get started, certain exercises aren’t for everyone whether you are doing them in the shower or in a gym.

The great thing about exercising in the shower is that because of the instability, you’ll be working out your core more and who doesn’t want that. However if the shower’s surface is slippery, please wear the right footwear. We wouldn’t want you to get hurt.

The easiest exercises are squats. A full or half squat while you’re washing your hair or lathering up done correctly with your feet shoulder width apart will activate your  quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves.  If you sit on the stool that is included with many shower models will make it easier.

Kickbacks while you’re letting your conditioner soak in for the recommended 2-5 minutes by leaning into the wall and kicking one leg up behind you, raising your heel towards the ceiling will help you get the firm booty that you always wanted. Calf raises while shampooing by rising up onto your tippy toes and lower back down to a flat footed position will sculpt calves of steel, straight out of a comic book!

We’re all time starved but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t take some time out every day to get and stay healthy. 

Romance in December

While February might have Valentine’s Day (we need to break up our long winters with a day dedicated to love), we are declaring December the month of Romance.  Roses and great wine are a must but the best way to celebrate your love is a bath, in our Romance Series A1006B. Not too big yet not too small at 71” (1803mm) X 33.5” (850mm) X 27.5” (698mm) it comes in standard white but may be available in additional colors to better match your bathroom’s color palette.

As for features, its computer controlled remote gives lets you monitor and adjust your hydro massage and air jets FM radio and multi-colored LED tub lighting. Its constant heat function ensures the water stays the perfect temperature. It’s rounded out with a hand-held shower and head cushions for those long relaxing baths.

Chocolates are nice but what your significant other really wants is to spend more time with you. And the Romance Series A1006B makes that wish come true.
