Suitable for mums of all levels of fitness, you will be encouraged to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Iryna will take you on a varied circuit along the paths of Bushy Park, with its beautiful Woodland Plantation and over 300 free roaming deer.
The session will include a number of conditioning and toning exercises for the whole body on our unique Boost Buggy Route.
Both you and your baby will benefit from the fresh air environment and will leave you invigorated and wanting to come back for more.
Enjoy a coffee and after the workout in the car park. An inviting new Information and Reception Centre will shortly be opened with improved café facilities.
Wear loose fitting and comfortable clothes to exercise in and check you have a good pair of trainers. Also bring a waterproof just in case!
Mums should have had their 6 week post natal check before commencing Boost Buggy Workouts.
We will may jog a little with the Buggys, as well as walking briskly with them.
You will not need a big 3 wheeled buggy. Some of the paths can be quite bumpy though and so Buggys with more robust wheels may be preferable although not essential. Please ensure babies heads are well supported in the Buggy at all times.
Please ensure you bring a small bottle of water for yourself and maybe a snack / drink for baby too.
If you are still breastfeeding we recognise that you may need an extra 6oo calories a day. Therefore weight loss does not have to be an immediate goal for new mums. Set yourself realistic targets, enjoy your new baby and enjoy getting yourself back into shape and feeling good about yourself.
If you already pregnant, I would like to advise the following recommendations as set out by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists ACOG (1994))
Please DO NOT EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY if you have experienced or are currently experiencing, any of the following:
• Pregnancy induced hypertension.
• Pre-term rupture of membrane.
• Pre-term labour during the prior or current pregnancy.
• Incompetent cervix.
• Persistent second to third trimester bleeding.
• Intra-uterine growth retardation.
• Severe anaemia.
If any of the above apply, you must not exercise and should seek expert medical advice.
Reasons to Discontinue Exercise and Seek Medical Advice During Pregnancy
(adapted from Wolf, Hall, Webb et al (1989))
• Vaginal bloody discharge.
• Vaginal gush of fluid.
• Sudden swelling of hands, ankles or face.
• Persistent, severe headaches or visual disturbances.
• Unexplained fainting or dizziness.
• Swelling, pain and redness in the calf of one leg.
