Weight training after you’ve had a baby is super important, both for physical and mental health.
Your body has been through a lot during pregnancy and birth. With hormonal changes, sleep deprivation and a new physical load from carrying, feeding and lifting your baby every day.
This is why strength training matters and why we created the MumBStrong classes at 🤍
In our sessions we help you to:
Rebuild your core strength safely. There is a questionnaire before the sessions which tells us about you, your baby, your birth and if you’re aware of any prolapses, diastasis recti or hernias etc.
We do exercises which involve more stabilising, rather than too much crunching/twisting so your core is being built back slowly and in a safe way.
This in turn will help restore and strengthen pelvic floor function, as well as adding weight and load to exercises where safe and necessary.
Weight training will also improve posture, reduce pain which you may find has increased since holding your baby on one side, feeding them or from the relaxin hormone which can affect your joints/muscles causing pain in hips/knees/backs.
As well as physical differences, feeling stronger and being able to have 45 minutes for yourself are key in helping mental health too. As a Mum, we know that prioritising yourself lands at the bottom of the pile, our classes aim to help you take back and have something for you.
We don’t believe in ‘bouncing back’ or shrinking yourself, we are all about getting and feeling strong.
