We are camping so this morning I took this early bird out running with me in the country lanes so daddy could have his Father's Day lie in.... I wasn't sure how it would go, she's 5..... BUT we had a great time, she impressed me with her running (we did intervals....) we had a good chat about why her heart was beating faster and I gave her a piggy back at the end which definitely made me work harder 💪 Yes it wasn't a "proper" run for me but it was something! It was exercise outside, spending quality one on one time with my daughter AND installing healthy habits so that she will see keeping fit and active as a fun and enjoyable way of life NOT as chore. I really recommend using the morning to get your exercise in - especially if you have early birds waking you up like I do! Obviously if there's a chance to go back to sleep then I would seize that opportunity instead...But if not - do some exercise to fill the time... You will feel better for it! Check out Mama on the Moves online programmes - you can do them anywhere, even on holiday!
Time for Brunch? Try Sophie's Amazing Fluffy Protein Pancakes. My sister in law gave me this pancake recipe and it's fab, definitely the best "healthy" pancake recipe I've tried, they really are light and fluffy thanks to the egg whites. A great mix of protein AND slow releasing carbs from the oats - perfect to set you up for the day in the right way. Ingredients: 1 cup milk of your choice 3/4 cup oatmeal 3/4 cup oat flour Pinch of salt 4 large egg whites 1 tsp cinnamon Directions: Heat milk until hot, stir in oats and set aside Beat egg whites into stiff foam and set aside Mix remaining dry ingredients together and stir in oat and milk mixture Fold in the egg whites Spray pan with non stick spray and cook pancakes until browned on both sides Serve with a berry compote/fresh fruit and/or greek yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup! Enjoy! #healthybrunch #proteinpancakes #healthymummy #postnatalnutrition #pregnancynutrition
Bonjour all! I'm on holiday in France, the sun is shining, we are having fun (mostly😂) but with a baby, 5 and 7 year old I wouldn't say it's relaxing! The baby did not get the message that this is a "holiday" and therefore needs to try sleeping for mummy and daddy. Instead he is being plagued by the Teething Fairy who is the Tooth Fairy's Evil Sister. Anyway, it was a v rough night and we were up v v v early this morning. So we didn't wake his sisters we went outside and I did a workout whilst he played happily on the mat. Some of you may think I am mad. WHY would I do a workout on holiday?! Well, a) I actually enjoy it b) I knew I would feel 100x better afterwards as it is a great stress buster and "pick me up" and c) what else was I meant to do at that time in the morning when going back to sleep wasn't an option? #safepostnatalfitness #postnatalfitness #postpartumfitness #fitmom #fitmum #mummyfitness #postnatalpilates #holidayfitness For details on safe postnatal (and pregnancy!) exercises you can do anywhere (even on holiday!) please visit www.mamaonthemove.co.uk
A year ago today! 24 weeks and just taught a spin class.... We had finished working Mama on the Move's online Strength and Pilates programmes and filmed them a few weeks later. It was great to develop (and test!) the programmes whilst actually pregnant myself! For more details on how to stay active in pregnancy visit our website (link in bio)
A lovely stretch in pregnancy is the Cat Stretch. It helps relieve back pain and it's great at strengthening the core muscles. It's also a good stretch if you suffer from Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. Here's how to do it: Start on all fours with your hands directly beneath your shoulders and your knees beneath your hips. Breathe in gently, allowing your tummy to relax. As you exhale, draw your tummy inwards ("hug" your baby in) and, starting from your tail bone, flex your spine into a curve, arching up to the ceiling like a cat, allowing your head to drop and look towards your tummy. Breathe in gently as you hold the position, then as you breathe out, return your spine to neutral, starting at your head and upper back and finishing at your tail bone. Repeat 5-10 times.
It's Maternal Mental Health Day so please take a moment to check in on family, friends, neighbours, acquaintances with babies and kids and just tell them they are doing a GREAT job and that you are there if they need to rant/offload/be a shoulder to cry on. #maternalmentalhealth
Day 29: Round the World Squat OMG we are so nearly there! To get you ready for our final #squatintospring challenge tomorrow we're going for a Round the World squat today. After getting this far sure it will be a walk in the park ;-). #squatstuff
Day 28: Squat and Press Our squat for today is a squat and press. Grab yourself some weights or some water bottles to work the upper body. Its particularly important when using weight to keep the core engaged throughout the movement. If you are in the later stages of your pregnancy then just bring your arms above your head as you come up from your squat. #squatmamasquat
Day 26: Squat and Pulse We're on the home straight. Today our variation is a squat with a pulse. Inhale and squat down then do three (or more!) pulses before coming back up. #squatgoals
