Maternally Fit - with Physiotherapist Kate Leggett
Picture
Join Kate from Maternally Fit for her free online class on the 25th of January. The class is an introduction to the Maternally Fit method and is suitable for all ability levels.

Maternally Fit classes are appropriate for both the novice and experienced exerciser. Classes include both cardio-vascular fitness and strength training. The pregnancy classes are based around the use of a gym ball and hand weights and the post-natal classes utilise a resistance band to begin gentle toning, so please have these nearby if you have them (if not, we can improvise).

Classes have a particular focus on core stability and pelvic floor training.

Exercising after having a baby can improve your physical and mental wellbeing. Benefits include:
  • Restoring muscle strength and firming your body
  • Improved weight management
  • Reduced back and pelvic pain
  • Reduced stress, improved mood and sleep
  • Lower risk of post-natal depression
  • Better pelvic floor function (reduced problems with continence and improved sexual function)

We’d recommend that you wait at least 6 weeks post birth before joining the class.
