"Love this pic which was taken exactly a year apart, both on holiday in Cornwall. 7 months pregnant with our baby boy and pictured with my eldest daughter, and then 9.5 months postpartum the little man himself! Mama on the Move is about empowering women to FEEL strong, fit, healthy and happy during pregnancy and beyond and I think these pics sum that up for me. We are all different shapes and sizes and we are not all meant to look the same in pregnancy and afterwards. Some of us will have MASSIVE bumps and some of us will have neat little bumps -that's normal! Some will lose all their baby weight quickly and relatively easily, especially whilst breastfeeding.... that's normal! Some will struggle to lose weight and may even put weight on, especially whilst breastfeeding - that's normal too! Some will have internal scars and stitches, and some will have external scars and stitches and some will have both - all normal. Some will have stretch marks and saggy skin on their tummies, others will have stretch marks on their boobs and thighs - yep -normal. I have seen lots of "fit shaming" as well as"fat shaming" going on in social media and it's horrible. I saw a post on a popular mum's site about a video of a very fit, slim looking woman working out with her young baby. Some of the comments were supportive, many were vile, accusing the (unknown) woman of putting her baby's life in danger by doing press ups over it and other nonsense. Can we stop with the shaming please? If you want to work out in pregnancy and after having your baby then great, go for it, if you are not ready to workout in pregnancy and beyond then also totally fine!! You have grown and birthed a human, you can do whatever you want Mama! Getting "in shape" after birth should be the least of your worries (despite pressure from celebs and the media) BUT feeling fit and strong again whatever your shape or size could be a goal to work towards for YOU when YOU are ready. #supporteachother #pregnancyfitness #pregnancyhealth #fitpregnancy #healthypregnancy #fitnessforlife #postnatalfitness #postnatalpilates #pregnancypilates #postnatalexercise #onlinefitness #mummyfitness
About to go on The Crunch @madeinbristoltv to talk about Mama on the Move!! #postnatalfitness #pregnancyfitness #onthetelly
Blustery seaside run last night - managed to "escape" the kids bedtime routine too for a change (win-win!) Found these steps on the way back and went up and down them quite a few times to really work the legs and bum... Then some press ups and tricep dips on a park bench before heading back. Fitness doesn't have to be complicated! And you don't need a gym! Just get out there and move your body. A brisk walk (particularly hills) any type of stairs/steps are great in pregnancy and postnatal period - and adding in some strength work for the upper body such as press ups against a wall/bench and Tricep dips make it a whole body workout. Please note we don't recommend running until around 16 weeks postnatal and only then if you have no diastasis recti (tummy separation) and no pelvic floor issues (leaking etc) #postnatalfitness #pregnancyfitness #onlinefitness #outdoorfitness #fitmama #fitmum #personaltrainer
Great morning at the NSPCC Messathon! We all loved the obstacle course, so much fun and lovely atmosphere of mums, dads, aunties, uncles, even grandparents being fit and active with their little ones - and for such a great cause! Our kids particularly liked the ball pit and foam pit and I was a big fan of the hoppers at the end -great leg workout! May introduce them into my classes..... A good warm up event for me ahead of Tough Mudder... Thanks so much to all the fab and v helpful volunteers at the event this morning. #nspccmessathon #nspcc #muddyobstaclecourse #fitfam #fitkids #activekids #postnatalfitness #onlinepersonaltrainer #personaltrainer #fitmum #mummyfitness #fitness #familyfitness #familyfitnessfun
Tamsin and I were on BBC radio Bristol this morning talking about body image in pregnancy and in the postnatal period and how Mama on the Move online programmes came about..... We were a little nervous (first radio experience!) but we really enjoyed it and it was a morning out away from the children (😂) and we are now having a well deserved coffee☕️☕️🙌 Thanks for having us on @bbcbristol and @johndarvall #onlinefitnessprogrammes #postnatalfitness #pregnancyfitness #pregnancypilates #postnatalpilates #mumsfitness #ambitiouspr @lisandersonambitious
It's the summer holidays! Tamsin and I are looking forward to getting fit and active with this lovely lot - starting next weekend with the Messathon - an obstacle course race raising money for NSPCC. Our advice for a stress free school holidays?! Get out and about as much as possible in local parks and countryside (picnics are always popular!) seek out holiday clubs/playschemes/free kids events, enlist family and friends to take them off your hands so you get a well deserved rest and finally ENJOY the break from the school run/routine. Good luck! #activefamily #fitfam #postnatalmums #postnatalfitness #healthychildren #nspccmessathon #summerholiday #schoolsoutforsummer #schoolsout #kidsfitness
Bottom half.... versus Top half! Reality of Beach days with babies! Found an amazing hidden cove in Cornwall yesterday. We missed the storms! #ilovecornwall #babyboy #familytime #postnatalfitness #onlinepostnatalworkout #mummypersonaltrainer #mamafit
This photo was taken exactly a year ago today, I was 7 months pregnant and testing out the 3rd trimester Fitness and Pilates programmes Tamsin and I were putting together to launch Mama on the Move... I really loved being pregnant with my third child and enjoyed an aches and pain-free pregnancy which I put down to staying fit and active throughout - it really helps! If you are pregnant and want to continue to exercise (or start exercising!) then check out our tried and tested online Fitness and Pilates programmes.... You can do them anywhere - even on the beach! #pregnancyfitness #pregnancyfit #fitpregnancy #onlinefitness #pregnancypilates #activefor2 #prenatalfitness #prenatalfitness #safepregnancyexercise #pregnancyexercise https://www.mamaonthemove.co.uk/pregnancy-fitness-programme/
On holiday in beautiful St Ives and a very quick beach workout this morning with my eldest and youngest! Whilst the youngest was eating most of the sand on the beach and eldest practising gymnastics I managed a very short workout - simple squats and press ups. I am into pyramid workouts at the moment, so went up in reps of 2.... until 12 reps of each and back down again. I repeated that 3 x. Back in time for breakfast with the rest of the family! If you have a diastasis recti (tummy separation) then you can still do press ups, just make sure they are against a wall/fence so you are upright and not putting too much pressure on the weakened muscles. And don't forget the breathing! EXHALE on the exertion - in squats that's as you rise up and same in press ups - as you extend the arms. Correct breathing very important to stop intra abdominal pressure stressing the core and pelvic floor... #shortbutsimpleworkouts #postnatalexercise #postnatalfitness #diastasisrectisafeexercise #postnatalbreathing #exhaleonexertion #familyfitness #fitmum #mamafit
