This is Sarah we have been working together for a year now and her progress is phenomenal. She comes to every session now with a positive mindset and does her absolute best. She will be first to admit that when we first started working together she liked a moan and a lot of rests and she hated me most sessions 🤣 now she comes she gets it done with minimal complaints and I get smiles too 😀 Strength and fitness have improved massive amounts. Proud coach 🙌🙌

PT SLOTS AVAILABLE

I currently have PT slots available for parent/baby. If you are struggling to find the time to exercise then why not do PT with your baby either one to one or bring a friend too and have a group session without the worry of your baby crying and interrupting your session.
Blocks available as well as PAYG sessions.

Good to be training again with an Olympic bar. Dumbells just aren't the same. Baby is 4 weeks old 2mor and we're feeling good. 2nd week of training and it's feeling pretty comfortable. Remembering to get those pelvic floor exercises in aswell which are so important. That one hour in the gym makes all the difference to my day not just physically but mentally too. I love being a mummy but mummy's need us time too, to be at out best and I'm lucky that I train at a child friendly gym and my wee baba comes with me in his pram ❤️👩‍🍼

Isn't the body just such an amazing thing. It can adapt to almost anything you want it too.
Your body carries you through the whole of your life. It's the only thing that is truly going to be with you forever. Treat it well.
Whatever your goal go for it. The mind gives up almost always before the body does. Baby no 4 and I still am truly amazed that there is an actual tiny human inside me. Loving every minute of this journey 😁😁🥰🤰

My own workout today consisted of 5 rounds of:
400m run
20 jumping pullups
10 deadlifts 65kg

I have regressed to jumping pullups now as pullups are a very demanding exercise and although they use a lot of upper body strength they are also very demanding on the core and pelvic floor.
One common symptom in pregnant women is coning of the abdomen this is when the intra abdominal muscles are pushed outwards into the the linear alba (tissue between the re**us abdominis) (6 Pack muscles)).
This can cause greater diastasis recti after pregnancy which is the gap occurring between the abs, this can become a problem if severe.

Pullups can also cause a lot of pressure on the pelvic floor, especially when dropping from the kip, the higher pressure on that drop position creates a higher pressure on the pelvic floor which is already under a lot of pressure with the growing uterus and baby.

There is always a regression tho and jumping pullups still work the lats, biceps, rhomboids and deltoids maintaining that upper body strength.

Deadlifts are fine during pregnancy, however as time progresses it's wise to reduce the weight as again a lot of pressure is placed on the pelvic floor. Range of motion may also need to be modified along with positioning.

Running again fine if your used to running, balance and centre of gravity changes as bump grows so you do need to be careful of falls. Listen to your body.

The aim is to keep.your current level of fitness in pregnancy. If you haven't been used to certain exercise then don't start it when pregnant. Also it's individual to the person and their pregnancy so make sure you get advice specific to you.
