Mum Fit is a class designed for any Mum, whether you gave birth 6 weeks ago or 5 years ago. The class concentrates on strengthening and shortening stretched tummy and pelvic floor muscles left from pregnancy. The class lasts for 1 hour and starts with a warm up and body mobilisation. The main part of the session includes low impact cardio, resistance training using resistance bands and your own body weight. We will work on improving your core and pelvic floor strength. Sessions then end with a cool down and stretch.
You will need to complete an online Pre - Screening form before attending class. I will also be checking you for Diastasis Recti (separation of the abdominal muscles). You will need a ribbon style resistance band, these are widely available or you can purchase one from myself at £7.
Becoming a mum is both incredible and quite honestly at times really tough! Your body goes through an amazing transformation, your life changes and you begin an emotional and physical roller-coaster which is exhilarating yet at times exhausting. So, where and how does fitness fit into this?
‘Surely I just go back to my old routine and take it easy?’
‘Maybe try an exercise class but just modify the movements or skip the ones you can’t do?’
‘Actually, when I have a bit more time and feel better, I will get into exercise.’
‘I can’t get childcare?’
These are all things I have heard women say and some rightly justifiable. BUT juggling motherhood and fitness is achievable and something that you deserve to do as a woman and a mum.
After giving birth to my first son, I tried to find a postnatal exercise class to reconnect me to my body and start my post baby fitness journey but there was just not enough information out there for me to know what was right and what was wrong for my postnatal body. I knew that my body wasn’t the same but my doctor had signed me off so I was good to go, right? Wrong!
Having taught postnatal fitness for several years now and continuing my pre and postnatal education, I feel passionate in helping and educating other mums, so they can make safe and effective exercise and nutrition choices during their pre and postnatal journeys. I have seen women rush back into fitness which is completely unsuitable for postnatal women, this then results in more damage being done than good.
Every woman is different, every birth is different and you as a woman and a mum… you matter. I can help you become successful with your own fitness goal; whether it is to lose weight, strengthen and tone your body, prepare your body for birth or most importantly feel good about you again.
