So great to be back on the mat teaching Pregnancy Strength tonight to another wonderful bunch 💕 Thought I’d share a little walk through video from entrance to classroom to bring things to life a little and show you the space we use 🤰🏼☺️

👩🏼‍🍼Postnatal Strength 👩🏼‍🍼

💕Are you 6+ weeks postnatal and looking to get back into exercise / feel stronger post birth?

💕The new 6 week block of Postnatal Strength classes starts next Wednesday 18th September at 10am

💕Bring your baby (or use the class for some me time if possible 😉)

💕Equipment is provided - exercises are low impact and utilise bodyweight, resistance bands and dumbbells.

💕All you need to bring along is an exercise mat, water bottle and something for your baby to sit/ lay on and play with.

💕 The room is a ground floor location so if your baby is sleeping you can wheel them straight in and park your buggy beside you while you exercise.

8️⃣0️⃣ My client, Jeannie celebrated her 80th Birthday last month 🥳 When Jeannie and her daughter first reached out they wanted to work on improving Jeannie’s mobility, flexibility, balance and strength as well as assisting with alleviating aches and pains and ensuring Jeannie remains functionally independent for as long as possible. We’ve now been working together for a year, so I thought I’d share some exercises from a routine we worked on most recently to assist with her strength and balance (Jeannie wasn’t too keen to feature on social media so you’ve got me instead!) • Seated Russian Twist (abdominals and obliques) • Unsupported Step Ups (legs and core) Improve single leg strength and stability. Improve movement and mobility through the hips. Cardiovascular workout. • Incline Push Up (chest, shoulders and arms) • Supported Lateral Step Ups (legs and core) For Gait. Improve single leg strength and balance. E.g for stepping sideways onto the curb, getting in and out of the car, avoiding obstacles and reduce risk of falling. • Seated Banded Single Arm Bicep Curl (Arms) Grip strength for lifting and carrying shopping Jeannie is an Inspiration and her strength gains are evidence that you are never too old to start exercising 🙌

Bitesize Holiday Workout - Part 1 😎

Bitesize Holiday Workout 1 ☀️🌊😎 Going on holiday? Pack a resistance band or two and try this short and sweet routine. 4 exercises - 1-3x as you wish. Chest ☑️ Arms ☑️ Legs ☑️ Back ☑️ Core ☑️ Don’t forget to tag @jen_milestonefitness if you do this one whilst away 🩷

Warming up 🙆‍♀️ Often something we either do super quick or try to skip all together but can often enhance our main workout session. For me, warm ups tend to be roughly 10 minutes and involve a mixture of dynamic stretching, mobility and pulse raising movements to get the joints and blood flow moving & raise heart rate. Do you warm up before exercise? Let me know with a 🙋🏼‍♀️ below #warmup #mobility #stretch #pulseraiser #pregnancyfitness #postnatalfitness
