The post-natal period is often a difficult time in term of maintaining the commitment to exercise. As a mum and qualified PT, I get it!

Firstly ladies, before you start an exercise class or programme, get the all clear from your GP or midwife. Always seek the advice of a professional especially if you may need physio care after childbirth.
​
For all you new mums out there, this is one of the most magical yet equally anxious times in your life. Please remember its not a race back into shape, it’s about feeling strong ad using the time for you. Be realistic!
