Meet Jody and her two little fun monsters! 👩👧👦
.
.
Jody founded @mumabubs_fitness in 2015, originally made up of mums from her own mum's group when her second child was 9 months old and she was still recovering from a significant knee injury. .
.
Her little business was started in her home's games room, but now is based between her Karrinyup affiliate location and @jettsinnaloo .
.
Jody has a passion for supporting and empowering other mums 🤱🏽 to thrive through a lifestyle approach to health, fitness and wellbeing.
.
.
Jody is also super passionate about red wine 🍷 and soulful tunes 🎶 enjoying the serenity of the early morning 🌅 and losing herself in a good book 📚 .
.
Her current goal is to buy herself a stand up paddle board 🏄🏽♀️ before next summer and enjoy the challenge of SUP Yoga🧘🏽♀️. But, her life long dream is to live her life and continue to work her passions, with her beautiful family, somewhere in Europe 🌍 .

WHY DO WE WORK FROM THE INSIDE OUT?
At our MoveMuma Sessions we always start with mobility exercises, pelvic floor activation and glute exercises.
..
Why do we do this? 🤷♀️ ..
✅ Mobility and breath work gives our mums a chance to slow down from all the rushing around and focus on some time for them.
..
It’s a chance to reconnect with their bodies while they are not distracted by little people & life in general
.. ✅ Pelvic floor, deep abdominal, glute and upper back activation gets all the deep muscles working before we add more load.
..
We focus on cuing these movements with the breath and ensure it’s a subtle contraction and not bracing or griping every muscle in the body! Also, it ensures that our mums are breathing as so many women forget to exhale
..
Quite often our mums will have seen a women’s health physio who may have given them a specific cue for pelvic floor that works for them. And, this may be the only time some of our mums actually take time to do this work.
..
And, this makes sure that we have awareness of working from the inside out as we go into the strength & cardio circuits. ..
Even spending 5 minutes before a walk, run or an exercise session doing these exercises can make a big difference. ..
Remember, we are all on our individual mum journeys and at different stages of our mum journeys so exercises should be individualised to what is going on with you. ..
If you have any questions about what exercises are best for you let us know 😊
..
And, if you’d like to join our sessions, register your interest for Block 2 starting 29 April by DM us & we’ll be in touch!
Go on, just take one small positive step to support your health and wellbeing
..
So, how did it make you feel? Really connect to those amazing feelings that come from doing something for you, something to nourish your mind, your body, you soul...
..
Now, do that consistently ... then take another small step...
...
Before you know it you will have taken some of the biggest, most rewarding steps of your life 💞
It's not all about the fitness classes or gym!
Nope, it's not.
Structured exercise sessions are not the only factor that will impact on you achieving your fitness, health & wellbeing goals.
I get a lot of mums who think the only way to feel good, lose the baby weight and get stronger is to join a fitness class or go back to the gym.
YES, this is a great step 👍
And especially if exercise is what has always helped with stress management and the ability to cope with the demands of life. Plus, the social benefits that come with interacting with other like-minded people can not be ignored.
However, if you ignore the other parts of your lifestyle then you will either NOT achieve your goals OR end up more tired and frustrated, OR both!
By simply identifying what other areas of your lifestyle are impacting on you achieving your goals, and then focusing making small changes in one area at a time, will see you move towards your goals so much faster. Plus, it will motivate you to keep focused and stay committed.
So, what are these areas?: 🙏Emotional & Mental Wellbeing 🚶♀️Physical Activity & Daily Movement 😴Sleep Quality 🧘♀️Stress and Stress Management 🍎Nutrition
It really is about small steps and gradually making one small adjustment to an area of your lifestyle, nailing it then moving to the next.
I've found the all or nothing approach often results in people quitting....it’s too much, too soon, and with all the other demands on us as a mum, it's just not sustainable long term.
So, just because you can’t get to that exercise session yet, there are so many other areas of your lifestyle that you can focus on and improve so that your daily actions and habits are supporting your health & wellbeing, and moving you towards being a healthier and happier version of YOU! 💕
