Baby Ffit: Recover - Undy (Jan)

Service Description

This low impact, education and exercise programme is ideal for new Mums, or any postnatal women (regardless of how old their children are!), who are wanting to get back into fitness gently and safely. Each one-hour class focuses on rebuilding muscular strength and fitness lost during pregnancy, recruiting and working the deep core muscles to aid stomach recovery and heal diastasis recti (stomach separation) and reconnecting with the pelvic floor through guided pelvic floor recruitment and relaxed, diaphragmatic breathwork. You will learn what your body has gone through during pregnancy and the type of birth you had and how that will affect you postnatally. You will explore the connection between your core, pelvic floor, and the hormonal changes that cause muscular imbalances and those dreaded postnatal aches and pains. PLUS, you will be taken through how to correct all of these issues and build a solid, strong foundation for life - and all that motherhood throws at you! You will be shown the exercises you need to heal your body, along with weekly emails with follow-at-home videos to continue your rehabilitation from the comfort of your own home, inbetween our sessions. Each week the exercises progress so you will feel challenged and motivated to continue your supported postnatal fitness journey. Mental health is also covered within this programme and the emphasis on learning and understanding what your body, and mind, has been through... This isn't about 'bouncing back' - it's about acknowledging yourself for everything you have endured and leaving with a newfound confidence and respect. The aim is to leave the programme feeling ready for the next stage of fitness, if you wish to continue (see Baby Ffit: Plus classes), feeling stronger and more resilient than ever before and with a new respect for everything you have been through to bring your little one into this world! This programme is designed as a 'first step to postnatal health & fitness' and is designed with new mums in mind, any ladies looking for a gentler route into exercise, or any postnatal women who have been affected by a traumatic or difficult pregnancy or birth. New mums should be a minimum of 4-6wks pp to join after a vaginal birth or 6-8wks pp after a complicated or abdominal (c section) birth. If unsure, please check T&C's or get in touch.
