• A gentle warm-up

• Strength and toning exercises that concentrate on muscles you'll use in pregnancy/birth and in the postnatal period
• Circuits
• Pelvic floor exercises
• Stretch and relaxation
• Exercise adaptations suggested throughout to allow pregnant and new mums to exercise together

Sarah has over 10 years’ experience of providing exercise sessions for pregnant and postnatal women. Her classes are adapted to suit women at all stages - whether you're pregnant or a new mum - and all fitness levels. Sarah provides lots of exercise adaptations during each session, which means that pregnant and postnatal women can exercise together.

If you've never exercised before, you're particularly welcome - so why not give it a go!

PLEASE NOTE:

If you’re pregnant, please make sure your midwife or healthcare provider is happy for you to exercise.

If you had a straightforward birth, you can start gentle exercise as soon as you feel up to it. This could include walking, gentle stretches, pelvic floor and tummy exercises.

It's usually a good idea to wait until after your 6-week postnatal check before you start any high-impact exercise, such as aerobics or running. If you exercised regularly before giving birth and you feel fit and well, you may be able to start earlier. Talk to your midwife, health visitor or GP.

If you had a more complicated delivery or a caesarean, your recovery time will be longer. Talk to your midwife, health visitor or GP before starting anything strenuous.
