Returning to exercise after having a little one, & possibly having not done much for your own health & fitness since being pregnant or welcoming your little one into the world, means that it is so important to safely return to exercise under the guidance of a Post-Natal Exercise Specialist
✧
Registrations are now open for our Block 3 Mums & Bubs Group Fitness Sessions commencing 16 July, 2018, with sessions suitable both for new mums with young babies and for those with older children who would like to get some structured exercise in but need to bring their little ones with them!
✧
And, we are introducing Onsite Childcare so it means you can bring your little one along, but get an hour of movement and fitness while someone else takes care of your little one nearby!

💖 Client feedback like this makes me LOVE my work even more! I am so proud of the achievements she has made, both physically and mentally, in less than 12 weeks!
✨
For this beautiful working Mum, it hasn't been about having time, it has been about making time for her! ✨
It has been fitting in one session per week at her home with all of our girls playing nearby & then one session per week at my studio on a Saturday morning, some weeks at 7am in the morning. ✨
It has been about small steps each day. ✨
It has been about consistency of effort. ✨
It has been about changing her mindset, re-setting her priorities and understanding her 'why'!
✨
I truly believe where there is a will, there will always be a way!

LET'S TALK ABOUT....YOUR PELVIC FLOOR
Did you know that there's a correct way to do activate your pelvic floor, which is a lift AND an incorrect way, which is a pushing out?
✧
And, if you are not activating or lifting your pelvic floor correctly, you may in fact be contributing to further issues, rather then improving the function of the muscle. For some women, it is not a matter of them having a weak pelvic floor, therefore they may need to focus on relaxation rather than activation. And, for some women it's hard to tell by looking at them that their is a weakness, as weakness is not driven by pain and can be asymptomatic.
✧
As a pregnancy & post-natal fitness specialist, I assess all of my client's abdominal separation, observe the way they are breathing, and assess what is happening with their superficial abdominal muscles when they think they are lifting their pelvic floor and switching on their deep abdominal muscles.
✧
However the pelvic floor is an internal muscle, which I can't see or feel to understand what is actually happening! And, I am not qualified to do so either!
✧
At #MumaBubs we work closely with local Women's Health Physiotherapists to ensure that every woman is looked after from the inside out. I encourage ALL of my clients to take the time to have an assessment with a Women's Health Physiotherapist. And, as @jendugard highlighted, so many new mums have their new babies hearing tested 'just in case', SO why not also take care of your own health and have an assessment with a Women's Health Physiotherapist 'just in case'! #worldcontinenceweek #WCW2018 #laughwithoutleaking #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorweakness #activemums #activemoms #healthymums #healthymoms #selfcare#safereturntoexercise #afterbabybodylove #mumabubs #movemuma #newmuma #jodysecker #educatedhope #mumlife #perthmum #perthfitness
