Postnatal classes are run in six week blocks periodically through the year. You must have cleared your six week check up with your GP/Consultant to participate. Mums with babies of very different ages attend, 6 weeks to 6 months or more, whenever you feel you are ready, there is no rush.
It is a very active fitness-based class with some high intensity interval training included, the current buzz in fitness circles! There is also lots of arm and chest and bum toning as well as some tummy burn all in a marvelously cushioned environment, protecting those joints which are still a little challenged from Relaxin Hormone for several months after having your baby
The gloriously warm pool and gentle stretching exercises helps to iron out lots of kinks too
Early motherhood is hard going on your body…………….Reward Yourself.
Aqua4mums postnatal classes are a fabulous way to return to exercise after having your baby.
You can start postnatal classes anytime after your 6 week check up.
The 45 mins is an active fitness-based class with everyone working at their own level, with some High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT is all the rage in fitness circles currently) but in a very low impact environment. This is a perfect combination for joints and pelvic floor adjusting to life after pregnancy. We do plenty of arm, shoulder and upper back stretching and strengthening (the second most complained about area after childbirth!!) And of course, lots of deep abdominal and pelvic floor strengthening work to ready for return to land-based exercise. There’s also time for relaxation and whole body stretching with some most important ‘me’ time.
Early motherhood has a lot of very repetitive mechanical postures with feeding, burping, carrying and nappy changing, filling your day, and night! Doing them with a tired and recovering body leads to aches and pains.
In the warm and lovely pool let all those aches and pains melt away.
The more your arms and legs zoom through the water the harder your core has to work to counterbalance this force just to stay steady. Tilting your body off balance also increases work in the bank.
