Welcome to Mama Movement!
massive congratulations on your pregnancy!
Welcome to Mama Movement! I hope you are feeling well so far and you are ready for the amazing journey ahead of you.
Exercising during pregnancy is something I feel really passionately about so I’m so pleased you are looking at Mama Movement to be a part of your pregnancy journey.
There are so many benefits to doing exercise during pregnancy - let’s go through a few so you know you’re really making the right choice in becoming a part of Mama Movement:
Exercise helps keep you healthy and strong for you and your growing baby - this so important both during pregnancy and to help with your recovery after birth.
Improving your mental health - exercise releases endorphins which make you feel good and for me, that is one of the main reasons for exercising. Those feel-good hormones are what we need in life and especially during pregnancy. If you’re not feeling your usual self, exercise should help you boost your mood and feel more energised too.
To help avoid pregnancy aches and pains. I can’t promise these will always be avoided as every body is different and there will be a lot of changes going on over the next few months but keeping your core, glutes and back strong is really going to help with your growing bump.
To help during labour - both with stamina and strength. Many compare giving birth to running a marathon so ensuring you are fit for the birth marathon is super important. Having a strong lower body will also help during birth and those all important pushing stages.
To help post-birth - carrying your new born baby, pushing the buggy around and once they start moving about, running after them too. The marathon continues post-birth!
How Will It Work?
Every 2 weeks you have access to 3 new workouts and a stretch routine. Each workout is approximately 40 minutes long and the stretch sessions are between 10-15 minutes long. The NHS recommendation is that you exercise for roughly 150 minutes per week. I’d recommend doing the Mama Movement workouts once a week and getting out on a couple of walks a week (or more if you fancy of course). Walking outdoors and getting fresh air is so beneficial and can be done as a social activity too, so text a pal and go get your walk on!
The workouts use 2 types of resistance bands - a looped short resistance band and a long resistance band. There is the option to use dumbbells throughout the workouts if you want to but these are not essential. If you’ve been working out previously and feel you’d like to add dumbbells to increase the intensity then I will explain how to use them throughout the workouts. I didn’t use them for filming and you will definitely still get a great workout without them so don’t worry if you don’t have any.
See below links to some resistance bands if you need to buy them for your workouts:
