New mums in Ruddington can now enjoy exercise classes without the hassle of sorting childcare.
Buggyfit, run by Sarah Woodhouse, is an outdoor class which allows mums to bring their babies in their prams or buggies.
“Looking after a baby can take up all of your time,” she says. “But it’s really important for women to take time out for themselves – exercise is a great stress reliever! Plus, you’ll meet plenty of women in the same situation – so it’s a social occasion as well as a workout.”
And don’t worry if you’re new to exercise, or nervous about starting up again after having a baby. All the workouts are tailored to individual needs, include cardiovascular and fat-burning exercises along with strength training and toning.
You can join as soon as you have the all clear to exercise from your GP – usually six weeks, or eight to ten weeks if you’ve had a Caesarean.
Classes take place at 10.30am on Mondays at Rushcliffe Country Park. Sessions are £6.50 pay as you go, or you can book six-week blocks for £30.
