Postnatal
Personal Training
Having a baby.. it's pretty hard to find a moment to go to a suitable class or gym.
You may be asking yourself all the normal questions; how do I know if I'm doing the right thing for my body? Am I eating right?
Am I doing my pelvic floor exercises enough or even correctly? Which is where I come in.
I come to your home or local park and I provide all the equipment.
In addition to my personal training qualifications, I have over 10 years of experience with expectant and new mummies, I hold an advanced pregnancy and postnatal health and fitness qualification.
I also have two small children myself, recovered from 8cm diastasis recti and prolapse, so I fully understand the stresses your body has been through to create your tiny human and you can be sure you are in safe hands.
4th Trimester Rehabilitation
It is absolutely bonkers that the advice for new mums is to have 6 weeks of rest, or 12 weeks post c-section, and then you can do all the things.
Just as you would rehabilitate an injury, we must rehabilitate our postnatal bodies. Reintroducing basic movements, retraining the pelvic floor and core, correcting any postnatal issues such as incontinence, posture correction, realigning the ribs and pelvis, regaining mobility, and so much more.
Postnatal Personal Training
Now your baby is here it's time to get everything toned right up and looking fabulous.
All you need to do is be ready in your comfy clothes. I will turn up with everything we need and I will guide you whole way, so no need to worry about organisation or the 'baby-brain'. Also, your baby is number one, they can have a cuddle or play along side throughout our sessions, they will not be in the way.
The most important thing to remember is that your body has just taken 9 months to adjust ready for birth, it's been through one hell of ride. So even though we will be working hard, we will be working out safely and mainly focussing on your central areas such as your core, pelvic floor, bottom and hips. We will build on your overall fitness by including functional training and strength techniques to help shift the excess baby weight and to tone and strengthen all the other areas of your body too. We will also have a look at your eating habits and adjust where necessary to improve your health. Eating well and doing exercise will not only encourage safe weight loss, it will also release endorphins (the happy hormone) meaning you are going to start feeling happier in yourself and in life and improve on your wellbeing.
Group Postnatal Personal Training, 2-8 people
Training with your new mummy friends is a great way to push yourself and each other to achieve your fitness goals. It's also great to be around others who understand new mum life and for your babies to start their first friendships.
Your body has been through a lot to grow your baby, and all bodies handle that experience differently, so even in group training session the workouts will be tailored each participant. Even though we will be working hard, we will be working out safely and mainly focussing on your central areas such as your core, pelvic floor, bottom and hips. We will build on your overall fitness by including functional training and strength techniques to help shift the excess baby weight and to tone and strengthen all the other areas of your body too.
Set the weekly routine. Get excited for your session. Let's have a laugh and work so hard you'll be seeing results in no time.
Back to Exercise and Postnatal Check Up
During this session we will check your pelvic floor function, diastasis recti, posture and other key areas which are important for postnatal recovery.
If you have had a pelvic organ prolapse, C-section or any other complications we will cover all areas on healing and rehabilitation.
I will teach you how to correctly awaken, activate, connect and strengthen EVERY muscle, so you can get back to exercising in classes or solo safely and effectively.
