Postnatal Fitness

Welcome to STROLL IT OUT: Edmonton's postnatal fitness class!

As you start your postpartum journey, remember to be kind to yourself. This is not the time to judge how you look or compare yourself to others. You need to stop and realize how amazing your body is and what changes it has gone through: changes in breast size, expanding rib cage, weakened pelvic floor muscles, hips expanding, hormonal changes and so on! When we approach our health from a holistic perspective, we set ourselves up for success to live a more optimal life.

In my 45 minutes postnatal Stroll it Out fitness class, we will focus on strength training, cardiovascular endurance and exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor/ core muscles. Modifications will be given for each exercise and ALL FITNESS LEVELS are welcome! This is NOT a running class with your stroller.

The last 15 minutes of class will be our COOL DOWN AND CONVOS : an open and honest conversation between participates about any topic related to postpartum

Classes will be outdoors, unless it rains, then a Google meet link will be sent out 30 mins prior to the class so you can attend the class from the comfort of your home!

Benefits of Postnatal Fitness

* Improved mood and boost of energy

* Decreased risk of postpartum depression

* Increase energy levels

*  Improved sleep

* Improved cardiovascular and muscular strength

* Being part of a community of strong and supportive women

 

** It is recommended for adults to get at least 150 minutes/ week of moderate intensity physical activity. That being said, there are many factors that will contribute to how much activity you will get in the first few months, to maybe even a year post baby. From pelvic floor concerns, recovery from child labour, sleep, baby’s health concerns, your mental health and so on. So please be patient and kind to yourself as you slowly reintroduce physical activity into your routine.

 

Postnatal Fitness Considerations

* Have a conversation with your medical doctor about starting a postnatal fitness class

* Join a postnatal fitness class taught by a certified and educated health professional

* Be assessed by a pelvic floor physiotherapist if you are experiencing any discomfort or pelvic floor concerns; peeing while exercise IS NOT OKAY!

* Be KIND to yourself when starting a postnatal exercise routine; start slow and build up

* DO NOT focus on losing weight; focus on your overall well-being and health

* Stay hydrated – especially if you are breast feeding

* Wear comfortable and loose fitting clothing to help regulate your body temperate while you workout

* Wear comfortable and appropriate exercise footwear

* Give your body proper nutrients to fuel and replenish before and after exercising
