POSTNATAL FOUNDATION COURSE

When choosing the right program to support your return to exercise after having a baby, look no further than the Keep Mums Fit Postnatal Foundation course. Building a strong foundation from the start will allow your body to heal, adapt, and function without pain and progress without fear.

Established in 2007, the course has developed over the years to include a variety of exercise methods and practical guidance to help you feel more confident in your body's ability to restore and rebalance.

As a former Midwife of 20 years - you know you are in safe hands with Kate and her team of expert trainers.

The six-week course runs throughout the Year on Mondays from 1 pm to 2 pm, and numbers are limited to ensure personal coaching.

During the six weeks, we will provide you with the practical health and fitness tools you need to achieve great results inside and outside the gym. The emphasis will be on practical gym and studio sessions that demonstrate exactly what you need to do to achieve the progressive health and fitness you deserve for long-term gains.

This is not a gruelling BootCamp, as now is not the time to hit it hard! Instead, we aim to create a safe space where you can learn, share, progress, have fun, and connect with other like-minded new mums in a small group setting.

If you have any questions, from breastfeeding to nutritional advice, please do ask. We are here to support you in regaining not only your exercise confidence but also your transition to parenthood.

What to Expect

Our first session is all about getting to know you and setting the scene for the next 6 weeks. We will begin upstairs where you can chat to the other mums share experiences (If you wish) and together we can discuss your health aims and fitness goals.

The exercise session will be 45 minutes to an hour long and we begin with mobility, postural corrective exercises and pelvic floor rehabilitation before progressing on to strength and conditioning, multi directional movement patterns and eventually dynamic locomotive exercises.

During the 6 weeks you’ll learn how to:

💞 Assess your abdominal tone, tension and pressure

💞 Re-establish postural alignment

💞 Restore balance through movement strength and fitness training

💞 Reconnect breathing, pelvic floor, back and abs to regain strength

💞 Rediscover the value of nutrition to aid postnatal recovery

At the end of the session you’ll get a chance to chat to the other mums swap numbers create a WhatsApp group and build a strong friendship support network.

As part of the program you’ll receive helpful nutrition and workout guides and email support.

Before you attend please ensure the postnatal screening form has been completed. So we are aware of any extra support you may need.
